To manage this restriction, the associates at a store will mark a queue at a single-entry door (in most cases the Grocery entrance) and direct arriving customers there, where they will be admitted one-by-one and counted. Associates and signage will remind customers of the importance of social distancing while they’re waiting to enter a store – especially before it opens in the morning.
Once a store reaches its capacity, customers will be admitted inside on a “1-out-1-in” basis.
We’ll also institute one-way movement through our aisles next week in a number of our stores, using floor markers and direction from associates. We expect this to help more customers avoid coming into close contact with others as they shop.
We’ll continue to put signage inside our stores to remind customers of the need to maintain social distancing – especially in lines. And once customers check out, they will be directed to exit through a different door than they entered, which should help lessen the instances of people closely passing each other.

This country has gone insane...
Next we will get a ration cards and a day and time to show up
Trump better wakeup...
If folks want to do that, fine.
I’ll just stay away for the duration.
One way traffic patterns? What if you need to backtrack because you forgot an item, or you need to wander around because you don’t know where a certain itemis located?
This isn’t even an issue if you use their app and pickup service.
I’ve been to Walmart recently (Thursday) and there were *so* many people there that didn’t understand social distancing or care to practice it. This is the result.
Stupid policy. This will most likely create long queues outside the store. Better option is to give customers a number and let them wait in their cars. They can then call out the counter over a loud speaker to let them in.
Feel the Bern!
That’s the idea.
One way traffic patterns only on initial entry and after you leave the checkout lanes, not elsewhere in the store, I believe.
Trader Joe's is doing this ... the result being long lines outside the store made even longer by the magical 6-foot rule which I suspect, at least in future scientific journals, will be accorded the awe-inspiring respect of Avogadro's Number and the Planck Distance ... maybe even right up there with Pi.
I’ll never use their pick up service.
Our local Wallys all have major issues with expired products still on the shelves.
A better policy would be to just do pickup or curbside delivery, which are options at most Walmarts (and the ones I’m using where available), but there are too many idiots that won’t do that.
idiocy. Feed the hysteria keep the county closed.
"This is why we can't have nice things!"
We just experienced that this morning. It was a small town Wal-Mart so there were few people in line and we barely had to wait a minute before they let us in.
I can only imagine what it might be like in a larger city.
That’s why the lockdown was ultimately doomed to fail. Getting Americans to comply with anything is tantamount to herding cats.
Give Americans honesty, transparency, a rational plan with a clear, achievable goal and we can do anything.
We haven’t gotten that yet. Not even from the GEOTUS.
This makes so little sense.
Make the customers congregate outside the store to reduce contact. I understand they are trying to protect their employees but at the same time contributing to the contact with many, many more outside the store.
The country has reverted to STUPID ON A MASSIVE SCALE.
I don't believe that anymore. Multiculturalism changed everything. The Left accomplished their mission.
I’m real good at social distancing from walmart, because I haven’t set foot in one in 12 years. 8~)
