My guess is that part of the reason for this policy at Walmart & Target is that they are general merchandise stores with clothes, toys, electronics, etc. and entire families were streaming in with the kids in tow for entertainment.
Around here (Central FL) I have seen none of that in Publix, HD, Lowes, etc. I also saw where Costco was onlying allowing 2 people per membership card, so that kinda validates my assumption.
WalFart fears bands of roving looters, which is coming down the pike soon.
Refusing the gibmedats the free shit will be denounced as racist.
