So does Walmart+ (the membership program which also gives a better deal for home delivery). I am curious whether this is going to stay or not, now that in some Walmarts the self-checkouts (where you're still obliged to stop and scan a code to complete checkout) aren't open normally.

Membership clubs can get away with quite a bit more because they're controlled access.

I notice Costco has self-checkouts now.
