I haven't noticed if Walmart's new readers are NFC enabled, but using a chip and pin card with them is all about timing. Too early and the transaction hangs during authorisation. If you don't go through the prompt and explicitly declare the transaction as a credit, the transaction won't go through either. If they're NFC enabled I'm sure the same restrictions apply.
