Any bets on how long it will take for some states to mandate this Wal Mart idea for all stores?
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...
And I don't care if they're lined up six feet apart.
Just imagine the whole country’s reaction if an outbreak is traced back to a Walmart, employees included, and the battalion of lawyers screeching about Walmart’s failure to guard its employees’ health.
What a joke. This will not turn out well.
Need to have even and I days or some other method For your shopping. People don’t have enough to do in so they’re wondering around the Wal-Mart.
This is an Asian of children
A lot of stores are already doing this. In virginia, a lot of the “non-essential’ stores stayed open by limiting to 10 patrons at a time. MicroCenter had you text onto a list, and they’d text you back when you could come in.
Costco has been limiting customers, and set up a nice line for them with separation.
I have done this at the grocery story by going at times people aren’t there, I think there was 20 people in the store when I was in the store, and I don’t start down an aisle if someone is on it already.
Just sent my daughter to a store other than Walmart. Other stores are going to be crushed by overflow from Walmart tomorrow. This is a real pain in the rear end. We just want some fresh veggies and cheap generic pop. We could do without, since there’s plenty in the deep freeze, but I want to save those things for a real crisis.
Oh boy going to Walmart now will be even more fun
Also, much of the area in square feet might be the stockroom, coolers, backroom meat department areas, employee break rooms, offices and other areas in the back.
So, the idiot politicians have created a chokepoint for Alexander’s cat food. Time for war.
My one chair barber shop has always had a line.
I went in the local Walmart today. There was a line of cones and tape to enter but no backup.
I saw a line outside Sam’s Club over a week ago and decided I didn’t need anything on my list. Trader Joe’s was great, and Target pretty good too.
I guess I won’t be going there then. They can kiss my ass. At 72, I’m not standing outside for anyone.
The following will be happening at all Walmart stores before very long.
