Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Walmart REALLY listens. I bought a few groceries IN STORE and about two weeks later I got an email with a list of items I purchased and links to review them. Now, I know what you're thinking, but I'm not enrolled in their loyalty program, and I don't have their app installed on my phone. The only way I can figure they linked my purchase to my email address is because I have previously logged into their website on my phone (via the browser) and of course my phone was with me during my shopping trip. That's some creepy shit.
Did you use the same credit card on their website as you did in store?
Yeah, that would be much more plausible. As dystopian as Walmart is, I don't think they have phone sensors that can determine your device by just being in the store...
This is definitely how they do it, as someone who has a Walmart account and usually buys through the app. If I buy something in store with one of my linked cards, it stores the receipt in my account (and then asks me to review it)
Pretty sure they could get your MAC address pretty easily if you have Wifi turned on.
