Best Buy will require customers to wear face coverings in its stores nationwide starting Wednesday. The chain joins a list of major retailers that have instituted mask mandates.

FILE - A Best Buy employee delivers an item to a waiting client in Omaha, Neb., Wednesday, April 15, 2020. Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics chain, will require customers to wear face coverings at all of its stores nationwide, even in states or localities that don't require them to do so.

NEW YORK — Best Buy, the nation’s largest consumer electronics chain, will require customers to wear face coverings at all of its stores nationwide, even in states or localities that don’t require them to do so. Best Buy Co. said Tuesday it will provide a face covering if a customer doesn’t have one, and small children and those unable to wear one for health reasons may enter without one. It said that customers who have concerns about wearing mask will be able to shop Best Buy via its website and app and choose home delivery or contactless curbside pickup, which remains in place at all its stores.

Social media is full of videos capturing clashes between those who are asked to wear masks, and employees who are under orders to make sure people wear them.

angry_gram Here in Canada it’s compulsory everywhere. C’mon Amerika, you can do this! I have faith in you.

ITT fat losers who can't endure a piece of cloth

we already wear a mask when we drop in to pick up an online order 🦠😷🤗...no problem for us 😷

Bravo BestBuy Bravo 👏🏽

Good idea

Took BestBuy long enough to require 😷 WTF

if you don't want to wear a mask there is

Maga gonna have to find a radio shack around the corner. They will not like this news.

I don’t go there anymore thanks to online shopping but I’m sure the alt-right trump supporter boycott will really hurt them.

People still go to BestBuy ?

The fact that this is news is why we're so fucked.

How can be constitutional? I think it’s time for lawsuits.

One big political corporate cult with many willing lemmings at their disposal

Man, all of these big corporations around the world taking actions like these...can't believe they've all been suckered by the Illuminati and the United States Democrats just like that.

Oh no, here come all the people to tell Best Buy how they're never going to shop at Best Buy again!

Who still goes to Best Buy?

Republicans: we hate the government! Let’s small businesses and local counties decide their own rules. Businesses and Counties: ok we are going to require facemasks on private property or in govt building. Republicans: Noooo

Because they have a great online platform I don't care...I'll order what I want and not overspend from picking up extra because I'm in the store and see it...their lose

Nope

Were in a global live exercise since it started last year in China even nervous mike pompeo gave a Freudian slip,'we're in a live exercise to get this right' Trump whispers to him “I Wish You Would Have Told Us”.no one paid attention, wake up this is a drill,not real pandemic

Wait... there are still best buy stores?

There's bound to be other discount stores that do NOT require masks; we'll go there.

I will pay double, elsewhere, if needed.

Ok. Thanks for the update.

Is Best Buy still a business 😳

Oh well look who just woke up! 👏👏👏

Not my human rights!!!!!

this mask wearing has gone from irrational to fashion statement ,to political, to down right God like mask worshiping lunacy......are we in the twilight zone?...please wake me up !!!

They haven’t already!?!?!?!🤦🏻‍♂️

Wait what, they didn't already require this

50,000 people have already been let go from Best Buy since the pandemic started. Some stores won’t ever open again thanks to the riots. Don’t want to go in and buy? Order from them online!

Sure thing! No problem. Anyone that can’t wear a mask due to legit health issues can buy online. Easy peasy. It’s all temporary.

How is everyone company not doing this. Please post the ones that refuse to make masks mandatory so I can short them

How people can be so ignorant,corona=the cold,we all had it at some point in our lives, our immune system has the anti bodies,our immune system was designed to protect,it needs bacteria/germs,oxygen to thrive and adapt,stop living in fear, this covid19 is a live exercise,wake up.

Power is having every right & justification to do something but still not.

That's ok. I can buy online lol not a grocery store.

Everyone is unemployed, who is shopping at Best Buy?

Way to get with the times

So Wack.

time to buy Amazon shares

Been required here for weeks.

Obey your master. Don't question. Just obey.

If you protested for America to open back up to get the economy going back... are you really here sharing your social media opinion about how wearing a mask is violating your constitutional right

Trump will sweep The South! Biden will win California, New York, Washington and Washington DC. The key States: Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania!

Karen will be pissed off

Should've been doing it all along.

Done with Best Buy. Is Radio Shack still around?

Thank you Best Buy!

Nice! This and the fact that they price match Amazon 👍🏽.

The Season of Karens is on the way

About time! Every store should require this. Target Walmart Publix kroger cvspharmacy Walgreens tjmaxx SamsClub

Lookout for all the Karens

how about just close the stores and do shipping only?

Best buy somewhere else that's for sure!!!

Another retail opportunity for Karens nationwide to throw a pissyfit.

Seems like a great idea

All these stores who are anti disabled is becoming pretty sad. Mask mandates means the disabled aren't allowed in any store due to a medical condition. That is discrimination. This has happened before in history and things got pretty dark and genocidey.

Enter crazed Trumpsters who need electronics but their religious freedom and cultish love of Trump prevents them from simply covering their big damn mouths.

The videos will be epic.

Maybe they’ll ask for Trump to resign tre45on DonnieDidNothing

Everyone gets your cameras ready

so no change for me?

Good nobody really goes there any way their parking lot is always empty. I'm shocked they are still in business.

I shopped in Best Buy on July 2nd . There were people in the store without masks on!

3 people will be inconvenienced

as they should ☺️

Trump supporters gonna be searching for electronics at Piggly Wiggly

Why? How about washing your hands frequently?

Now I have to wear a mask to try out products at their store before I buy them at Amazon?!

Good

Best Buy still exists ?

They’re still around?

Where will I go to preview items I buy online?
