I order online and then pick-up the next day in the parking lot, but half of what I order is sold out overnight - and half of that is upgraded to substitutes. No Great Value coffee so I got Folgers as a sub at the store brand price. Same with many items - name brands at store brand prices. Nice!
My $300 order went to $150 because of sold out items so I went inside anyway to look for witch hazel - there’s none to be had anywhere, but picked up the Equate version of Tucks pads which is witch hazel at a ridiculous price. I talked with associates and they told me they are blocking sections of the store in the days to come. Clothes, electronics, books, housewares, etc., will be blocked off because people touch the merchandise and that could spread the virus. So, online shopping is the best alternative. Just a heads up - coming to a Walmart near you soon.

Why not just require anyone going into those areas to be wearing a mask and use hand sanitizer going in?

Plus, they think people don’t touch food items and then put them back, select another, etc.?

WM grocery is “ok” unless one wants to sort through the bananas and so on...

Since our local Wal-Mart’s have been out of sanitizer at the entrance on my last three visits, I think they should address that sort of problem 1st...

I’ve lost ten pounds since last spring/summer and need new lightweight pants for work soon. Wonder where the heck am I going to go for them. I have a bag of returns (Two appliance type items and some lunch meat that showed expiry date of a week before we purchased) sitting in my trunk from a few weeks ago, as the store is “not accepting returns” right now. So...what if this doesn’t end I don’t want to order online hoping pants will fit and if they don’t I have to keep them and keep spending till it “works.” I refuse to order clothing on-line as I have never been happy with anything going that route. Chit just ain’t the same I tell ya.

They'll have to CLOSE EVERYTHING before long because people touch food (apples, onions, packages of meat, cereal, etc, etc).. at some point common sense will have to return or we'll be choking ourselves to death!
