Starting Saturday, we will limit the number of customers who can be in a store at once. Stores will now allow no more than five customers for each 1,000 square feet at a given time, roughly 20 percent of a stores capacity.

fantastic,
It will spread like wildfire through the waiting lines. A classic Catch-22: you have to stand in line to avoid the virus but you’ll catch the virus standing in line.
We’re doomed because you can bet a lot of evildoers are watching and taking notes on just how easy it is to push us around and control us.
Wee no watt ewe mint...
I walked past the paper aisle and there was an employee stocking toilet paper. I told her that was the first time I have seen tp available in a month. She laughed and said there were two whole trucks of tp delivered and people buy it all immediately.
Almost everything is back in stock, but some sections aren't completely full yet.
I agree. This really angers me. And I bet they want return to 24 hr open.
If you are up late is the best time to place an order. Usually right after midnight ... I have my order ready to go and checkout at midnight and there is usually an entire day’s worth of time slots available for delivery.
This is moronic beyond belief, but “they” have to keep the level of panic and despair amongst the proles as high as possible because Orange Man Bad.
As for shopping on line, that is unsatisfactory because so much is out of stock at any given time, you have to be ready to make alternate selections that the pickers in the store are not capable of doing.
And forget picking and choosing. Say if you want apples, you can be sure you will get the rotten or bruised ones that they would otherwise throw in the trash.
They apparently want bread lines and food riots. At this rate, they might just get them.
My wife and I went to Costco yesterday. It was like any other trip except for two things: They had a sign at the entrance telling you what “hourding items” they were out of (nothing we wanted anyway), and a voice came on the pa incessently telling us not to sneeze on or have sex with other shoppers. So we didn’t.
Oh, and no free samples. I’m not used to leaving costco hungry. :(
Any bets on how long it will take for some states to mandate this Wal Mart idea for all stores?
Yeah, the number of people at Costco by looking at the parking lot was about 50% of normal. But we still had to line up to let so many in. I rather liked it, because when Costco is full, people are total ass holes. Costco shoppers where I live are supreme dicks. They just charge forward with their carts, almost running over my kids sometimes, and pretend they don’t see you when you try to merge into a corridor. Walmart shoppers in my area are just fine. No real problems.
Thats corporate instruction so I am guessing its for all stores now
What do you think about this?
Where I live WM is the only place to go to shop.
Gradually they are taking things away from us, and I don’t like it.
Really makes me mad.
20% capacity means 80% don’t get in.
Doesn’t WM have any industrial engineers on staff? It’s not that difficult a concept to understand that the conga line inside the store will advance at the speed of the slowest shopper (at best).
It was in the 90s here last week. That will work well in the afternoon at my WM with a west facing front.
only question is if food shortage is real or custom made
or both
From recent experience, about 1/4 of Walmart store employees are wearing gloves, and maybe one in 10 is wearing a mask.
You’re just as likely to catch the China Virus from one of them as from another shopper.
this insanity must end soon, more and more people are being pushed to the edge
I despised shopping at Walmart for multiple reasons before the outbreak. Thanks geniuses, you just sealed the deal for me.
I’m stocked and couldn’t care less...
