I still say I admire your spirit.

I get treated the same pretty much whatever I do so I might as well ignore those who lie, sell me out, never deliver on one single thing, or take advantage of my good nature but they always want something from me.

Not quite a wild rebel though:

"Health Ambassadors"?

Sounds important. The "Health Ambassador" at my Walmart was a cashier two days ago. Hope it is a promotion with appropriate raise in salary.

In a rare flash of insight during my teen years, I realized that even if I did change to please all the people who didn’t like me, then they wouldn’t respect me because they would see me as weak.

I still wouldn’t be good enough for them, so why even bother trying? If they didn’t like me the way I was, I was not going to let them control my life and lose sleep over it. I had enough to do without trying to please people who didn’t like me anyways.

Walmart will also bring back its "health ambassadors" who will be positioned at the entrances and hand out masks to customers.

I don’t go to Walmart, but aren’t these the little underachievers who delighted in barking commands at unmasked customers trying to enter the stores?

Yep, in my area they either put the geriatric old blue haired ladies or pimply faced minimum wage part timers at the door. Last year I never gave them any argument, had a mask on, got my basket rolled to first aisle and off came the mask.

So will Wal-Mart deny entrance to people who don’t wish to wear a mask?

I am responding to this thread almost 30 days from its original posting, but I went into a Walmart today in NJ, and I was told by the broken English speaking employee at the door that I needed to wear a mask. I smiled and politely declined while pointing to my arm, suggesting that I had received the jab (which I did not). She kept insisting I needed to wear a mask as I walked by her. I continued to shop for the next 15 minutes with no mask and checked out with no issues, but I was definitely the only one in the store without a face diaper.

I went to the walmart corporate website and it indicates that employees must wear face coverings, while customers are "strongly encouraged" to do so. I should print out that page and bring it with me the next time I go.

Yep.

Strongly encourage something that does NOT work.
