Walmart Rolling Out More Giant Order-Fulfillment Vending Machines

Walmart is expanding its massive Pickup Tower vending machines to an additional 80 locations, up from the 20 towers already installed.

The towers, which measure 16 feet tall by 8 feet wide, can hold items as large as a microwave, a company spokesman told TWICE. Consumers can select this pickup option from their computer or smartphone when making a purchase; to retrieve the item, they scan a barcode. Items that won’t fit in the tower will be brought out by a Walmart employee after the barcode is scanned.
