How To Scan Price At Walmart |
Method 1: Embrace Your Inner Cyborg (a.k.a. The Walmart App)
- Channel your inner tech wizard: Download the Walmart app (it's free, unless you count the inevitable hours you'll spend scrolling through deals).
- Become one with the scanner: Open the app and tap the Check a Price button. Remember, with great scanning power comes great responsibility (mostly the responsibility of not accidentally scanning your neighbor's kid).
- Behold! The price is revealed! Unless, of course, the barcode is hiding behind a rogue Cheerio or a runaway price tag. In that case, consult the ancient art of patience and try again.
Bonus Tip: Feeling fancy? Use the Scan & Go feature to skip the checkout line altogether. Just remember, scanning a watermelon ten times won't magically change the price. Trust me, I've tried.
Method 2: Befriend the Price Checkers (a.k.a. The Manual Method)
- Locate the elusive price checkers: These magical machines are usually hidden amongst the mountains of discounted socks and questionable seasonal decorations. Channel your inner Indiana Jones and embark on your quest.
- Prepare for battle: The price checker screen might be smaller than your grandma's reading glasses, but fear not! Squint with determination and may the odds be ever in your favor.
- Victory, or existential dread?: Did you find the price? Rejoice! Did you accidentally scan a picture of Justin Bieber and now the entire store is staring? Embrace the awkwardness and laugh it off.
Pro Tip: If the price checker malfunctions and starts displaying Shakespearean sonnets, just go with it. Maybe you'll discover a hidden talent for iambic pentameter.
Remember, Fellow Shopper:
- Scanning is a journey, not a destination. Embrace the chaos, the laughter, and the occasional existential crisis.
- Always double-check the price. You never know when a rogue spork might have inflated its ego (and its price tag).
- Most importantly, have fun! After all, isn't that what bargain hunting is all about? Now go forth and conquer those price checks, champion!
