| How To Scan And Go At Walmart |
Step 1: Assembling Your Arsenal (or Downloading an App)
First things first, you'll need the Walmart app. Download it, embrace the blue, and pat yourself on the back for taking the first step towards checkout domination.
Pro Tip: If you're feeling fancy, consider a Walmart Plus membership. It unlocks a treasure trove of benefits, including, you guessed it, unlimited Scan and Go usage. But hey, no pressure, the free option works just fine too.
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Step 2: Entering the Arena (and Avoiding the Skeptical Glances)
Head into your local Walmart, phone in hand, and brace yourself for the occasional bewildered stare. Remember, Scan and Go is still somewhat of a novelty, so expect a few folks to silently question your life choices as you breeze past the regular checkout lines.
Embrace the awkwardness, my friend. It's part of the Scan and Go charm.
Tip: Read slowly to catch the finer details.
Step 3: Scanning Like a Scanner Pro (or How Not to Look Like a Complete Goon)
Now, the moment you've been waiting for: scanning time! Open the app, select "Scan and Go," and prepare to unleash your inner barcode-reading ninja.
Here are some helpful hints to avoid rookie mistakes:
QuickTip: Look for repeated words — they signal importance.

- Hold your phone steady: Shaky hands and barcodes don't mix.
- Aim for the bullseye: Don't be that person who spends ages trying to scan a banana. Find the barcode, line it up, and bam! Item added.
- Beware of the item twins: If you're buying multiples of the same item, don't scan each one individually. The app usually has a handy "quantity" option. Use it, and save yourself (and everyone else in line) precious seconds.
Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you Scan and Go, the smoother you'll become.
Step 4: Conquering the Self-Checkout (and Avoiding the Bagging Police)
Once you've scanned everything, head to the self-checkout. But wait! Before you start unloading your cart, take a peek at the screen. There will likely be a big, bold message reminding you to scan a QR code with your phone. Do this, and voila! Your virtual shopping cart is magically transferred to the self-checkout.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
Now, for the burning question: can you just skip bagging and head straight to the exit? The answer, my friend, is a tempting but resounding no. You are still responsible for bagging your own items, so don't get caught playing fast and loose with the self-checkout gods.
They are watching. And they are judging.
Step 5: Victory Lap (and Maybe a High Five)
You've done it! You've conquered the Scan and Go challenge. Pat yourself on the back, do a little victory dance (if you're so inclined), and maybe even high five the self-checkout attendant. They've probably seen it all, but a little appreciation never hurts.
Now, go forth and conquer your next shopping adventure, Scan and Go master!
