Home Depot is the latest major retailer to drop its hardline mask policy, following others such as Target, Walmart, and Starbucks.

Home Depot is among the latest to drop its policy requiring all customers to wear a face-covering in the stores. Per a spokesperson, fully vaccinated customers will no longer be required to wear a mask, but unvaccinated individuals “must still wear masks in Home Depot stores and in states where mask mandates remain in place, a company spokesperson for the home improvement chain told CBS MoneyWatch.”

However, like other retailers, it does not appear Home Depot will ask customers for proof of vaccination.

The ONLY place that was really hardline about masks where I live (western kentucky) was Menards. Even if they lift their stupid mask mandate I’ll never shop there again.

Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday said it is “perfectly reasonable and understandable” for certain businesses to leave mask mandates in place given that they “don’t have any way of knowing who is vaccinated and who’s not vaccinated,” referring to it as both a “problem” and “issue.”

“I think that’s where the confusion arises because there are some establishments who are saying, ‘Well, I’m going to have people coming into my establishment or my store or what have you. Some are going to be vaccinated, some are not. I’m not going to know the difference,’” he said.

“Some might be infected and might actually have a risk of infecting someone else,” Fauci added. “And under those circumstances, it’s perfectly reasonable and understandable for the owner of that establishment to say, ‘You know, we’re going to keep the mask mandate up.’ And that’s what we’re seeing"

“Vacinated? Have you had your AIDS test?”

The local Home Depot had a mask requirement - but they NEVER enforced it. You could go up maskless to their employees and swap jokes if you wanted.

Interesting workplace

Saw this at Politically Incorrect Canadian...

The Home Depot near me took down their “masks required” signs last Saturday.

[TChad]

My local Walmart just removed all their mask-related signs, and much of the staff is now maskless. Or maybe I should say, MASK FREE!

You mean to tell me that I can enjoy pretty girls faces again ?

YES! Menards has been absolutely asinine with their mask policy. One day recently I went there, forgetting to pack a mask in my car.

"I forgot my mask, what can I do?"
"Oh, they can help you in customer service."
*walks over to the desk*
"Can you give me a mask here?"
"Yeah here you go. That'll be 42 cents".

Bastards.

If one is immunized, masks don’t matter to that person. If someone chooses not to be immunized, they are assuming whatever risk they choose. So a mask doesn’t matter to that person either.

so, masks don’t matter. As if they ever did.

Ask me if I got the jab and I will say “yes.” This is so discriminatory.

[Maudeen]

It’s all about their loss of revenue. I hope those who mandated unnecessary hardline policies to go along with the Biden agenda go belly up. Speaking of policies . . .there are help wanted signs all over area small towns. . .no incentive to work these days.

[Repeal 16-17]

The sooner the Mask Madness is over, the better. Only the Fascist Fauci and those who mandated mask wearing should be forced to continue wearing face diapers.

Video of confused Fauci from CNN: "Dr. Anthony Fauci on Tuesday said it is “perfectly reasonable and understandable” for certain businesses to leave mask mandates in place given that they “don’t have any way of knowing who is vaccinated and who’s not vaccinated,” referring to it as both a “problem” and “issue.” "

I have talked to a few employees who love working there. I have a strong suspicion that some Home Depot stores are well run, and...some aren’t.

And some employees will bitch no matter what...and some will enjoy their job no matter what.

Of course, I have taken to calling them “Home Despot”...:)

Not because of any bad experience...I just thought it was funny when I heard someone say it!

[conservative98]

If someone asks say none of your business or I don’t answer questions. So they don’t get used to asking for your private info

[lightman]

Yea, verily.

Especially near state borders.

“If you like your face diaper you can keep your face diaper”

Didn’t Ødingo say that?
