Walmart is not a membership store. I never scanned a membership card, or put in any code or anything. I walked in with my child, browsed around a little bit, ended up purchasing a water gun and some potted flowers, paid at the self-scan, and walked out. I did use a debit card, but that card shouldn't even be connected with the old account that I got an email for, as the card is years newer than the account.
Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. My bad. I thought the outrage was about them collecting data, which is normal. ; but that's very strange. How did they connect your purchase/receipt to your email? Have you found out yet?
