Walmart announced it will limit the number of people inside its stores at the same time during the COVID-19 pandemic.....“Starting Saturday, we will limit the number of customers who can be in a store at once. Stores will now allow no more than five customers for each 1,000 square feet at a given time, roughly 20 percent of a store’s capacity,” according to a release. Store employees will start a line at a single-entry door and will tell customers to go there to queue. They will then be allowed in the store one-by-one, according to the company.
“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,” the store wrote.
Customers will be admitted inside one at a time when a store reaches capacity.
“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,” the Arkansas-based retailer said.
“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,” it said.
Target on Thursday announced a similar measure to promote social distancing as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) virus continues to spread.

Try their freezer section for frozen dough loafs too. rolls as well. I think the loafs come in pkg. of 6 and great since they don’t have the bulk full loafs do.
Yeah, in general my GV whole milk lasts for about two weeks. If I don’t drink the entire gallon in 2 days, that is.
[“Because the plumber is coming in the morning”.....]
LOL
Depends where you order from. Took nearly 4 weeks to get booty wipes from Amazon, only ordered 1 pack of 6 cause it was the smallest they had.
[ And just try to find a plasma rifle in the 40 watt range. ]
True. It needs to be a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.
That will work best on Sarah Connor and her darn son.
In the foreshadowing, the Terminator runs over a burned (Ertl?) semi-truck with the station wagon at the home of the first Sarah Connor.
I saw people standing in line in the pouring rain in 40 degree weather. They probably all got sick. Stupidity and madness. Meanwhile China gets away with unleashing a pandemic on the world
The liberal media is making sure the panic creates more panic. If possible.
The same people who brought you the “Russian conspiracy” on a daily basis.
Yeah, they’ve had the frozen I think. Early on, I got a few extra packages of tortillas, which, amazingly, were abundant, on the end of a completely empty bread aisle (except for one loaf that had been bounced a bit). It was still fine - Wonder Bread - I didn’t get it because it’s normally about 2x+-3x the WM bread which I had hoped would get restocked.
Yet the WM bread kept getting stripped. Only the $4/loaf grain breads remained on the shelf.
I agree. We went to Costco the other day, early in the morning. We're seniors. After 5 minutes in line, we said the heck with this and left the line. Not going to waste a couple hours and still not get what we want. Fortunately we have supplies of necessities at home.
I stood in line at Costco for over an hour my neighbor went the same day at 4:30 in the afternoon and walked right in the door the early senior gig is NOT WORKING!!
LOL Wait’ll their government cheese cards get recharged and they try to go in. Ought to be a hoot. And heaven forbid you try to keep them away from the line of carts filled with marked down Easter candy on the 12th. Ever see those manatees sift through them with their flippers? It’s like they’re digging for clams and they’ll charge each other and slap bellies like sumo wrestlers to lay claim to their own cart. Hey, I just realized, I didn’t get anything out to cook for dinner tonight. We have a great Chinese joint in town, just a block up from Walmart, and my wife has been asking for an order one night. Might be a good evening to drive through the parking lot on the way.
I just don’t see this lasting for very long, big mistake.
Exactly, that is Terrorism right there and commerce comes to a halt in NYC.
I called my store and no sections are blocked off.
Crafts is accessible.
This morning I gave my 84 year old mom the only box of surgical masks I had but I now can still get some fabric to try and sew up something that I can use instead while I’m out doing her shopping for her.
Hopefully others can still access their Walmart craft section for materials as well since Hobby Lobby an JoAnn fabric are all shut down
I am sharing that video of how to sanitize your groceries. Thanks.
I’ve hoarded nothing.
Couldn’t afford to even if I wanted.
Still just trying to find our usual essentials amongst the slim pickings, plus getting whatever my mom needs, as she’s not going out hardly at all, except for curbside food stuff, once in a great while.
Keeping Himself at home as he’s high risk, like my mom is, and despite me having my own “risks”, I’m the designated shopper.
Honestly, I have no choice.
It’s either them or me and I reckon I’m more expendable.
They have tape up, blocking off sections. They allow you to go down one way and come back another so that people are all moving in the same direction, I guess. I don’t understand why clothing areas have the tape around them. My wife wants to go in there and get something. I don’t know what. I told her when we go at 6 a.m. (special times at Walmart for oldies over 60) on Tuesday. I told her to just go in there and get what you want. All they can do is run you out. Don’t understand why they have it taped off with that “do not cross police line” yellow type plastic tape. It doesn’t say police on it, just saying it is that type of tape stretched out.
PS: my wife sews. I told her she could make us each a couple of cloth masks and we can wash them as we use them.
