This will work without a hitch when it’s raining or snowing
I put up with this yesterday. They used upended shopping carts on the sidewalk with rope linking them to create a single file herding chute. I really do not understand this, as people were allowed to congregate at the shopping cart pickup area and inside the store.
As with a cattle herding chute, there is usually a guy at the end with a automatic nail driver or a 22 cal gun to put the critter to sleep. I wonder when this will be implemented.

I don't feel like standing outside of a Walmart waiting an hour or so to get in.
Sam’s Club and Home Depot were doing this yesterday. There were latex gloves blowing all around the parking lot.
So, any good bets on the best times to go with low crowds?

I'm with you. This Norm Rockwell vision of America was dropped kicked to the curb, starting in the 1960s.
> 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. <
Excellent suggestion. If they try to queue customers at my local WalMart, they’ll have a riot on their hands in less than an hour.
I’m sure that what you said is probably already in the works. This has gone way beyond precautions for a virus.
Your best bet is to strike up a conversation with someone who works at the store.
Find out when the trucks come in and, if possible, what they are carrying.
Usually it is best to wait a while after that so that they can unload the truck and restock the shelves.
It varies from store to store, so best to ask locally.
We’ve been Balkanized. Look to 1990s Yugoslavia for our future.
Haven’t seen that problem here - but to be fair I’m not buying food from Walmart. And the few products I would buy there that do expire usually has expiry dates 5-10 years down the road so that doesn’t matter.
On the other hand, that indicates you don’t have much inventory turnover at your local stores and that they’re not terribly popular.
Use pickup options and go in the mid morning to get your stuff.
To be fair, King George gave us that...but we didn't like his goal.
Wal-Mart is being a rational business. In population-dense areas this policy is sensible and clever; orderly people will comply and complainers will go elsewhere. What a bargain!
I think if some bureaucrat on CNN or Fox speaks to Americans of honesty, transparency, and gives a "rational" plan with a clear, achievable goal, we will translate his newspeak into what they REALLY want, and act in our own self-interest which often also helps our fellow man.
I don't want that lardass Fauci or the head of the Ministry of Silly Walks to tell Wal-mart or me how to shop. I will sort it all out for me and my family if I like Wal-Mart's policy or not. Keep the government out of my grocery cart!
Neither of those two you mentioned are true.
What they do have are bad management, low quality staff, and apparently customers who tend not to look too closely at what they’re purchasing.
If by rational you mean crony capitalist, I won’t argue with you there.
I don't understand that one. He looks about my size...5-6, 150.
>>Sam’s Club and Home Depot were doing this yesterday. <<
I live in Texas and my local Home Depot was doing this last weekend. I almost turned around and left, but really needed what I went for so figured I’d have to stand in line forever. There were probably about 20 people in line but it went surprisingly fast. I only waited maybe two minutes. There was no trying to make everyone go one way insode though, you could go wherever you wanted.
I mean that in a figurative sense...he’s in decent shape. I simply think Fauci is a career bureaucrat first and foremost, trying to maximize the funding his dept will get.
>>I put up with this yesterday. They used upended shopping carts on the sidewalk with rope linking them to create a single file herding chute. I really do not understand this, as people were allowed to congregate at the shopping cart pickup area and inside the store.<<
Same here, they weren’t stopping anyone from going in or making us walk one way though, maybe they were just getting it set up.
Seems like just making everyone wear face masks would accomplish basically the same thing.
Wait til they start enforcing purchases based on total calories. Only XX,XXX per household per shopping visit. Trump needs to end this garbage.
