You think they'll be far behind?
Maybe they don’t want to get sued by someone who catches WuFlu from some recently arrived illegal in the parking lot, now that SloJo is shipping them to every town big enough to have a Home Depot.
Not in my local Home Depot yesterday morning.

Lowe’s has the same policy. BTW, you should read the article carefully. Customers maybe asked to wear a mask but HD doesn’t make them. Just like Lowes and Walmart.
Lowe’s, my first thought also.
Or maybe put on a Darth Vader costume, and bring Blue Tooth speaker to play the accompanying music, for shopping days?
FYI-Masks do NOTHING to protect from viruses.
And tying a dirty cloth to your child's face does NOTHING to protect them from viruses.
WE ARE BEING LIED TO. WAKE UP!
Wish I shopped there so I could stop shopping there, but already did so long ago....
If Home Depot doesn’t specify the use of N95 respirators I believe they should be sued. Every other type of mask is simply an article of clothing without any measurable benefit.
I’m making a list, and checking it twice, for all the stores that are naughty (requiring masks) or nice (allowing me to choose).
Our dentist just sent us an email to mask up. Soon all the grocery stores will be doing it.
People, why do you go to Home Depot at all?
I try to give my business to the local independent lumber yards and hardware stores. Going to Home Depot and Lowes is like doing all your shopping at Walmart and Amazon.
I understand that in many places those two home centers MAY be your only option. However, please try to support your local independent lumber yards and hardware stores. These people are the salt of the earth types. Many of them are 2nd and 3rd generation owners. Almost all of them are conservative. Not too many liberals in the lumber industry.
Lowes isn’t that much further up the road.
Was at HD yesterday, no change noticed.
Home Depot is also asking customers to wear masks while in their stores, and the company will continue to offer masks to those who don’t have one.
I may go into the local HD without a mask just to see what happens (I prefer Lowes anyway). If they ask me to leave I will ask them to speak with a manager. Then I'll waste his time asking him to explain their policy. Then I will leave telling them that I will shop elsewhere until their corporation comes to it's senses.
We should all do that to the first companies to re-impose mask mandates so that they others watching reconsider. There has to be push back and there needs to be a cost for making these arbitrary rules. Spin their wheels.
Fascism!!! It’s back. Personally...I haven’t shopped Homo Depot in ages.
Hmmm... SO I think I am going to walk into Home Depot with no mask and my S&W on my hip, and see which policy of theirs I break that they are going to confront me about first.....
No harm in asking. The response will always be no.
Went in planning to buy about $200 in cleaning and painting supplies and was confronted at the door by an imperious "Karen" type in her HD orange smock.
"You must wear a mask before entering, Sir"
I spun on my heels and told her that I would take my business elsewhere. She actually seemed pleased about that and told me to have a nice day.
What a shame, as I believe the owner of the Home Depot is a Trump supporter and seems a pretty decent guy. But he lost himself a loyal customer today.
