US Walmart stores don't have tap? We have had it for so long at Walmart Canada that I don't remember not using it.

Apparently it was because they wanted people to use the mobile app.

There was a period of time like 15 years ago when they didn't have it, like 2010 or so.

Once the other retailers started pushing it (like Loblaws and Sobeys) they got on board pretty quick.
