It will be kinda like a debt card --- but with less privacy and security and higher transaction fees.
And who wouldn't want that?

It’s just another way to rip off the small guy who thinks they are getting a deal but the company has all the power.
Who doesn’t think the terms and conditions will include phrases like “in the company's sole discretion" and "reasonable opinion."

The "stablecoin" part makes little sense. Walmart and Amazon could, with less effort, give customers store currency balances in a database. That would also let them bypass the existing payment processing industry.
It's almost as if "stablecoin" is a term included to make it sound fancier, cooler, more modern, or maybe just to push it a little further away from being called "company scrip".
