Walmart begins requiring all customers to wear face masksWalmart on Monday began requiring customers at all of its US stores to wear masks, becoming the largest retailer to mandate facial coverings as coronavirus cases continue to rise. Let the KARENS roam free in their natural setting. First wal mart THEN TARGET! I wouldn’t mind being a security guard now. Get to go to Walmart and tell idiots to put a mask on and watch them get angry. I’d just call the cops right away and say “we got another one!” Awww.... Guess I'll have to pass on the cheap Chinese made goods then.
