I was a cashier & CSM for WalMart a decade ago, before I went to college for CS (finishing up my PhD now). Any frustrations that I express are not directed at you personally. I turned off "Personalized Experience" under "Your Account > Communications and Privacy", but the "Ready to reorder?" block is still on the front page. The most important thing is, though, WHY CAN'T I TURN THIS OFF?!? But, more importantly, I didn't expect my private purchase history to be laid out publicly, either, on the main front page. I had not visited the website in a LONG time, so I most certainly didn't expect to still be logged in. XYZ was just a food item, but this was CREEPY, that walmart was showing last week's in-store purchase ONLINE, without my permission! ![]() I found this out when I walked out of the room & a friend got bored and decided to use my laptop to find who was selling a specific amiibo, and when I came into the room, he asked, "hey, why did you buy XYZ?". ![]() Now, they will share your personal, in-store purchases with whomever is able to see your browser window. We have long known that Walmart is tracking your purchases, and that they are trying to compete with Amazon.
