Walmart will require face coverings in all of its stores across the country starting on July 20.
Mandatory masks for customers will be enforced by employees upon entrances at more than 5,000 Walmart and Sam's Club stores, the company announced on Wednesday.
"As the number of confirmed cases has spiked in communities across the country recently, so too have the number and types of face covering mandates being implemented," wrote the retailer's Chief Operating Officer Dacona Smith in a blog post. "Currently about 65 percent of our more than 5,000 stores and clubs are located in areas where there is some form of government mandate on face coverings. To help bring consistency across stores and clubs, we will require all shoppers to wear a face covering starting Monday, July 20. This will give us time to inform customers and members of the changes, post signage and train associates on the new protocols."
The blog post also mentioned that stores will now have a single entrance, and Sam's Club associates will "politely" remind members "of our requirement to wear a face covering when shopping with us. Complimentary masks will be provided if the member doesn’t have one. Or members can purchase masks in the club."
The company has already taken other measures to help protect public health, including using markers to indicate 6 feet of social distancing for customers and increasing sanitizing and cleaning efforts.
Cases of the coronavirus have increased across the country, with more than 3 million people in the United States infected by the virus, and nearly 140,000 people have died.

San Antonio is requiring masks inside any retail establishment. What a load of crap this is.
F U W M!

How much are they paying these "Enforcers"?
Soon you’ll have yo crawl in on you hands and knees
Walmart employees generally don’t know how to wear the masks they’re already required to wear, will be fun to see one of them staring down a customer without one.
You know the viral videos of heavy women slapping, pulling hair and then knocking merchandise off the shelves as they punch each other?
Now there’ll be more as mask disputes up the ante.
There were two different knife stories in the news yesterday about mask disputes-—hard to tell they didn’t just repeat the first one (which had a person who stabbed a victim shot as he fled).
Wear a Mask and fill a cart and walk up to the cash then walk out and leave the full cart
Amazon sales increasing...same price and I don’t have to deal with mask nazis.
Halloween is before election day, so I see our domestic enemies 86ing it, too.
Just like the Fraud and his government shutdown, this will be made as painful as possible for everyone, especially anyone likely to vote Republican.
What are the qualifications to become a Walmart, “Enforcer”?
If I buy over $35...they ship to my door for free.
Found a beef / seafood place on line..that if you spend over $149...they ship for free. It's called Crowd Cow...Good meats, decent pricing..great shipping.
‘same price and I don’t have to deal with mask nazis.’
I can live with them making me wear a mask, for a while...but they aren’t happy with just that; I leave my nostrils free to breathe (I defy anyone on this forum to tell me that normal respiration through the nostrils constitutes a lethal threat to anyone) and these nazis take it upon themselves to bitch at me about it...
The Alabama Republican governor, Meemaw Ivey, just issued a statewide mandatory mask order starting tomorrow. $500 fine.
Will not be enforced by police.
So why have a fine?
Why the Mask Insanity now ?
Aaaaand this concludes my Wal-Mart shopping until the mask requirement is no more.
It’ll be a cash grab.
