When I initially read it the first image that came into my mind was an older lady trying to stick a 20 dollar bill into her CD ROM (or maybe even her floppy drive). That is not how it works obviously, but it would be cool if it did.
Via the "Pay with Cash" program, launched last week, shoppers can visit Walmart.com place an order and, during the online checkout process, select the cash option and their shipping preference. The customer then has 48 hours to pay for the order at any Walmart store or at a Walmart Market, its small-format subsidiary.
The program gives the unbanked access to the hundreds of thousands of items Walmart.com offers that aren't always available in stores, among them baby products, health and beauty items, toys, home decor, electronics, home appliances and more, the company says."
It all seems a little pointless to me, but then again, I am not the target audience for this service. If I am going to buy something online I am going to continue to sit in that same chair until the dang thing shows up at my door requiring no effort whatsoever on my part. But I really don't like leaving the house anyway.
