Walmart and Sam's Club shoppers will be required to wear face masks to prevent coronavirus spread in all stores starting July 20, the company announced Wednesday.

"Currently about 65 percent of our more than 5,000 stores and clubs are located in areas where there is some form of government mandate on face coverings. To help bring consistency across stores and clubs, we will require all shoppers to wear a face covering," the retail giant said in a blog post.

All these stores are making it easier for people to decide to stay home and order online. If another store has the better price, Walmart just lost that sale.

So if you have COPD or asthma, you’ll be asked to leave the store? Or what?

There are several ways to buy from WalMart without entering their stores. Like it or not, they have the best selection of many essentials. Their supply chain is legendary.

LOL - here in my neck of the woods they are just ignoring the mask orders. As I walked into Sam’s Club the door was plastered with dozens of “you must wear a mask to enter these premises” signs. Once I got in I immediately saw that virtually nobody was wearing a mask - not even employees. It’s like they took the position that “ok, we’ll put up your sign but it’s up to you to enforce it - we don’t care.” And nobody bothered to regard it. Same with the gym I go to. Southside of Indy is hard stock. We don’t cotton to people telling us how to live our lives. In fact it downright pisses us off.

Surgeons wear masks for hours at a time and yet somehow survive.

From the few times in my life that I have been to a Walmart it appears they cannot even enforce the a shoes, shirt and three quarter set of teeth policy. Not sure how they will enforce a mask policy.

Been using Sams Club instead of Costco because they didn’t require masks and their phone app allows me to checkout without talking to anyone or touching anything. Now it doesn’t matter and will just order online for pickup if I cant wait it out. Oh, there are 62 people hospitalized (total- not ICU) in my state with 43 new positive tests. For the state.

Wal mart made their money selling cheap shit made in China. I feel like a sheep anytime I go in there.

Wal-Mart isn't going to like the lawsuit the first time one of their poor underpaid, undertrained employees that they are forcing to enforce this measure gets smacked down by a BLM/ANTIFA type that “Ain't going be told what to wear by some little cracker.”

Wally-mart is about to find out how little we care for their tyranny.

Dumb logic. We’re not surgeons.

That’s because they are unbelievably vertically integrated.
