Overview
- Alain Valdés appeared in a TikTok shared by his partner on November 8 that quickly surpassed 350,000 views.
- He advised connecting to Walmart’s Wi‑Fi and scanning a product label to compare the app’s price with the shelf sticker.
- As a demonstration, a Christmas tree labeled at $187 scanned at $35.68, and Valdés later posted a receipt showing he paid $35.68.
- Commenters described inconsistent outcomes, saying cashiers or self-checkout sometimes charge the shelf price and do not honor the app amount.
- A follower noted the tree’s yellow tag, indicating a returned item that may have been repriced in Walmart’s system, which could explain the lower scan result.
