The control of these retail drones will be at the central unit which will assist the drones flying and avoid collision in stores.

Seems like if drones were flying around the store they'd also have drones flying to and from the store. Why would lazy f***s go to the store when they can sit on their bum and have it delivered?

Maybe this is an attempt to begin phasing into that.

Stupid walmart, this is not what we need. Give me one click order, allow others to sell through your technologies, deliver in one or two days or allow me to drive thru and pick up.

Re: Walmart plans drones in it stores to assist you in your shopping
How on earth is a drone going to assist me in my shopping? That's a huge waste of money, and Walmart shareholders (and employees) should be against this. They already installed numerous TV screens all over the store (very large tablets, actually) that basically blare "commercials" about whatever product aisle you are on. It's very annoying.

Do you want to know why Target is so popular? (And don't get me wrong, I love Walmart, too.) Most people don't realize that Target is the ONLY store that doesn't play music or annoying loud-speaker store commercials. You can actually shop there and hear yourself think.

I agree, but it's a huge waste of money. Everything is already tagged with security alarms, and they let it walk out the door (in some locations). A drone isn't going to stop that. Employee eyeballs and security guards at the door are how you stop theft.
