monthly subscription for “Walmart+” where you can scan and pay for your items as you shop and never even have to go through the registers or kiosks at all.

This isn't entirely true. You still have to stop by the self checkout and scan a code on the screen there and confirm a few things, but it is way faster.

Thanks for clarifying. I hadn't actually used that particular feature so I must have misunderstood the way it was worded in the app.

Edited my original comment for accuracy.
