Usually connect to Walmart's WiFi but they changed their policy I guess, won't be doing that now... (lemmy.ml)

Not sure about this Walmart case but most you can write any email like random letters a@gmail.com or not even the Gmail part as long as it's a valid looking mail and then works like you don't even have to confirm the email or anything.

I like steve@yahoo.com

If he was lucky or early enough to get a single name email then I'm sure they can handle some spam emails or get an email full of numbers like the rest of us

this is incorrect for the walmart case, next step is the password for the account, so you need to login or create a Walmart account for access
