, which represents Walmart, Target, Best Buy and other major chains, is asking governors to mandate masks across the nation and says different local mandates have created confusion leading to conflicts between customers and store employees.
More companies are making face coverings a requirement as viral videos of shoppers' tirades and confrontations over being asked to wear them during the coronavirus pandemic erupt.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Funny how they are going to make people wear masks but they don't even clean the carts or registers at the self check out . I went to Walmart today and they were not even providing wipes for the customers to wipe the carts down. And they are going to tell me to wear a mask.
HomeDepot are you watching this? When will you act? GovRonDeSantis used you as an example, maybe you should set one.
Finally. This has been true for their stores in Mexico since April.
God help us. This might be our Ft. Sumter.
They may require it but the door person does NOT change anyone not wearing a mash. Also, service is NOT refused.
Ooohhh boy
Walmart SamsClub way to join the mass hysteria.
Done with those store's
Finally
Eminem impact
Glad to hear it! Thank you Walmart & Sam's!
i'll congratulate them when they enforce wearing masks inside, too, & don't let people pull them down once in
What about in Georgia!!
Walmart WalmartInc listen to the man, hire out of work Nightclub Bouncers, those greeters gonna need help Monday.
There’s going to be so many Karens. I feel so bad for the employees.
Great, get ready for apocalypse Karens.
I have to wear a mask at work for over 8 hrs and sometimes 12 so wearing a mask at Walmart,Kroger and Sams doesn't bother me. Also everytime I go put gas in my car I always sanitize my hands with hand sanitizer cause you can get covid from touching the gas pump.
Woho TrumperFreeShopping
i feel bad for all the workers who will now have to fight with white people over wearing a mask
I will be requiring myself to not shop there then. Try to avoid anyway but this seals the deal‼️Not fooled by the Covidiots or by Covid911
Wow, I see a lot of snowflakes here crying about wearing masks.
Pray for the hicks of America 🙏🙏🙏😔😔😔
I just want to buy Lysol products.
So where will the MAGA crowd get stuff/food now? Things about to take a turn as 37% of Americans in red hats begin to starve and turn to cannibalism.
Wait what? You didn’t have to wear a mask this whole time? Man I’ve been trying to figure out how this thing has been spreading like crazy. I guess I am an out of touch coastal elite because Starbucks and Whole Foods have been at this for a long time. 🤷🏾♂️
About time
Cross another store off my list! Looks like Amazon will be getting a lot more of my business.
4 months late
And will they enforce it when they encounter (and they will encounter them) customers who refuse and cause a scene?
HIRE TOP NOTCH SECURITY AS WELL. TIRED OF SEEING EMPLOYEES HARRASSED!
Worn properly I hope
Good thing I just decided I'll never buy anything from those corporations again.
Yes please! Target will not make it mandatory!! I was told they ask all customers to wear a mask however they will not decline entry or check out so no more Target.😡
Forcing customers to wear masks in your stores will hurt your business. I for one will not shop your stores if required to wear a mask. My body my choice! There is no science behind wearing face diapers!!
NRFnews lol even capitalism has turned on the Trump administration.... where masks ya’ll
realDonaldTrump tatereeves
Let's go
The people at my small town North Carolina Wal Mart wear it when entering and then take it off after they get inside. I hope this new rule makes it so that they have to wear it at all time when in the store. I would love to see them get so triggered when told to wear it or leave.
Just now ?
Get the greeters some pepper spray for when the crazies come swinging.
My God I feel so sad for all those workers that have to put up with selfish dumbasses
Great news! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
msamson56 For those who say you won’t shop there, you will not be missed.
If I can blow out a candle with a mask on, im going to safely assume masks dont do shit to a virus that can only be seen by an electron microscope.
Get all of the greeters tazers
Haha, yes!
Everyone start putting Trump2020 on your masks...... they’ll reverse course real fast.
The facebook live videos must flow
Thank you Jesus! Maybe I can finally go shopping after 3 months trapped at home!
Yes more Cr1t1kal content
Walmart should have always required this!
And all over the country KarensGoneWild on steroids.
Expect some exciting new video content soon!
Corona Karen will go beyond nuts now !
So what you gonna do about the customer who wears it incorrectly? That’s the same as not wearing a mask? I just will shop elsewhere
Oh lawd! Be ready for some serious backlash! There’s not going to be enough cell phone cameras ready to document the fallout!
It’s about time! They should have done this four months ago.
Good
I can’t believe all the braindead replies. Americans really are built different
Where is the actual facts backing up wearing a mask prevents this virus? Case studies....Please! Also while at it, why don’t we just make people wear disposable gloves too.And by the way only having one entrance open to the public goes against fire code.Make the insanity END!!!!!
Wow, kind of like requiring a condom at the baby shower.
Very good
Its a joke. Not enforceable. It's only an entrance 'fee'. Herd immunity threshold is the only way
Time to stock up. More masks mean more people touching them and their faces and then touching stuff that other people may also touch. Then those people touch their face and off we go.
I love how some people respond to this thinking that Walmart won’t enforce it or asking how’ll they’ll do it. It ain’t hard to figure out they’ll refuse you service at the very least. You’re gonna be mad when they ask you to leave and refuse to ring up your items.
Walmart lost my business
I’m all for the rule but they’re about to put greeters in all kinds of danger.
Finally!!!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
They are also starting a reality TV channel that will only show the interactions between their health ambassadors and non-mask wearing customers
Publix
THANK YOU😊😊😊
About damn time !! So, many lives could have been saved !! Months ago !
It's nice Walmart gave five days' notice, making it possible to get in a last bit of binge buying & household re-supply ... ... & proving the policy is entirely unnecessary. Otherwise, it would take effect immediately. Don't let science get in the way of your VirtueSignalling.
'It's time for 'The Silent Majority to get LOUD!'' BoycottWalmart BoycottSamsClub
Screw your mask policy
EvelDick Oh no, where will Trump voters buy their Groceries now
EvelDick So when do the videos start of the self entitled selfish people pitching a tantrum in these stores?
I saw a man coughing in the parking lot and I ran away! I choose to wear my mask; not explaining why.
Do we really think The People of Walmart will wear a mask? 😷
Great, now all the trash people are going to start shopping at Target . Come on Target ,get your fucking act together.
SpiritFoxxx 👎🏻👎🏻👋👋👋 Walmart
They are waiting for the dead in USA to hit special number? Today’s 138000
PetSmart
NoMasks
Why the wait
I’ll just add WalmartInc to the list along with MichaelsStores! I wont give any store that requires this my business including online! Masks requirement = No business! I’ll look forward to stores closures!!
Thanks Walmart but you’re a few months too late
Goodbye Walmart Goodbye SamsClub I will never be forced to wear a mask by you or anyone else. You’re on very thin ice. WayfairGate
You won’t require me. I’ll walk in mask-free or my family will permanently, masks required or not, take our business elsewhere- anywhere else at that.
morgfair OMG, the Trumpanzes are going to go nuts! Can’t wait until the videos start coming out, total entertainment!
Won’t be shopping here anymore
“Health Ambassadors with Special Training” = Now Hiring “Bouncers with Hostage Negotiation Skills”
About GD time smdh WTH took them so long smdh
TonyTodd54 Good!
MadisonSiriusXM It’s about time
Who is next?
Getting in line now...😂
'Require' but with zero enforcement...
This aint gn fly in the hood baby 😔😔 they gn hit them greeters 😂😂😂
Walmart merchandise is made in China.
Why? Is? This? 'News'? WTELF NoSeriously NotQuiteDeadYet MyINFAMOUSLife LetsBeINFAMOUSTogether YerDoinItWrong
Everyone who doesn’t want a mask should also sign a waiver to NOT use a ventilator or hospital bed when they catch coronavirus, cuz freedom.
Trump supporters will love this 🤣
Waiting for grandma & grandpa Greeters to be outfitted with tasers to enforce this new policy cause ya know as soon as they get into store the masks come off & in the trash they go or onto the floor! MAGAT'S are just nasty people!
aileeng009 And that is it’s right since it’s a private company, but people also have the right to not shop there as well.
AlmightyBoob “they even made me show id to get inside of sams club”... looks like president West predicted this yet again. Thank you mr. president
Karen videos coming to social media platform real soon.
Good. Let's all Mask up and Don't be a COVIDIOT. Click the link for yours. MaskUp Masks MaskUpAZ MaskUpPA
Welcome to civilized society
Good !!! I'm tired of ppl walking into Walmart blowing their Covid-19 breath over me and my food !!!
They don't pay greeters enough to put up with all the assholes that are gonna be challenging them.
In Canada... IAmExempt NoMasks
But Walmart has to get ALL of their employees to actually wear their masks first. Under the chin, nose out, or pulling it down to talk don't count. 😷
Finally!
Can they make underwear mandatory as well?
Sooo, hey Target…any update to share?
Canada’s been doing this for a while now. WTF America?
The freakout videos for people of Walmart are going to be insane
white ppl bout to lose their mind
I just hope the company backs it's employees as customers become irate and foolish.
ALL businesses should do the same
Never even seen a Sams club and haven't gone into Wal-Mart in 20 years! Around here we shop at the local grocery store. We don't go near the big corporate monopoly places.
Wear a damn mask and we can start opening things up again.
Maybe I’ll shop there then. We won’t go into any business that doesn’t require masks for both customers and staff.
Walmart and Samsclub could make a fortune selling tickets to the scenes of outrage from Karens and Kens that will happen in their stores. Better than any reality show.
They won’t enforce it anymore than they enforced how many could enter at a time. They don’t care.
It’s about damn time.
Everyone should be required to wear a mask regardless where they’re at or what they’re doing that’s why it’s going out of control once again
About time! I try to avoid going into stores as it is, but on the rare occasion I have to, should be MUCH less dangerous, since the nutters who were able to bring in AR-15's will stay out now that they HAVE to wear a mask!😷🇺🇸👍🏾😁
There’s going to be great videos of the “hoax followers” throwing hissy fits. Just watching them proves they are the snowflakes. Can hardly wait.
Good
RockChristopher Good they will require it! But it is only effective if Walmart also requires them to be worn properly. Being below the nose, or even worse down on the chin, is not wearing one.
Karen and Ken showing up with their coupons like....
Yeah? And which Walmart employees get paid enough to confront guests coming in with no mask? Yeah, thought so.
Will never shop there again
Walmart FINALLY decides to protect their employees. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Big boy went potty! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Better late than never.
I support that. I have zero issues with wearing a mask while shopping. It's a small price to pay for safety. I know 2 family's that the entire family has covid-19. It's a nasty virus, highly contagious.
It's about goddamned time. Thank you.
Tech01Audio Guess they'll lose business!!!
So glad I never patronize either store. I keep going to stores that believe in choice.
Welcome to Target...
Welp. I already switched to Costco. That a learn ya😆
I live in hillbilly land. I never see anyone in Walmart without a mask. I haven't seen anyone in any store without a mask for like 3 or 4 months.
Yes
someone should tell that to their employees & BTW Walmart aisles are so crowded with employees stocking shelves (?) with items Walmart pushes, large carts to fill online orders NO 6ft distancing ...
SpyderDan1985
i sell face masks in my etsy shop for people who may need them. i also take custom orders if people need some adjustments on their masks.
Thank you. This should be interesting.
Why would anyone go to Walmart or Sam's club when amazon delivers? Do people not understand this is the future? Amazon has an unbeatable business model.
I'm sure the kool-aid drinkers will break the rules
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Rumble at the WalMart!!!!
I would be petrified for all the elderly greeters who are standing there when Joe 'Roids American throws his hissy fit when he can't get in, but they've probably all got COVID and aren't there anyway.
God Bless The USA!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
It's about time. Here in Gloucester Virginia, you will need Sheriff's deputies on hand. It seems the nevermaskers superspreaders opencarryammosexuals All belong to the same club. CovidiotClub
sheila06942158 Walmart just permanently lost our business.
WalmartInc in PuertoRico since day one has had this policy in place. We thank them for this and all the other safety measures they have established. SafetyFirst COVID19 Walmart PR
Yes...face coverings work like a charm to stop the spread! 🙄
Will they also be supplying these masks or trying to make more money selling them
They MUST understand that people are wearing masks at the entrance and then pulling them off, right? Jesus.
I had assumed they were already required (similar to Costco). At least here in Pennsylvania, all of the Walmart stores I’ve seen have had signs at the entrance requiring masks.
This is nothing new...we've had to wear a mask at Walmart for months and it sucks....along with the ignorant arrows telling us which direction to go down each aisle.
too little, too late
It’s about time.
Walmart I go to has always required mask, but then it's a state mandate, too. :)
Online sales are smiling more now. Don't need a mask for that.
Our local Sam's and Walmart require it NOW but it isn't followed. More without masks than with. Usually young people who aren't tidy looking to begin with that don't wear.
Saw an irate middle-aged White male at Walmart the other day screaming while not wearing a mask and he was quickly laughed at and did the virgin meme walk to travel a whole 10 feet to a register to pay in cash after being angry the self checkout was card-only mode.
I didn’t know this already wasn’t a policy....
I wish other retail chains step up and get cojones to do the same.
I applaud this move on their part but I can already predict the meltdown I'm going to see over it locally let alone nationally.
Hopefully other retailers will follow!!!! WearAMask SlowtheSpread
The stupid MAGAt’s are going to be furious. At least there’s going to be more content for the internet 😂
The Karen's and Mitch's refusing to wear a mask vids are better than the black friday vids fighting over bath towels in aisle 9 .. Walmart and Sam's Club mask wars 2020
They already are required to do so in New York, where it is a state law.
Well.. wont be shopping there then.
Anxiously awaiting the Karens bonanza
And yet Walmart still has “in store items only” not even available at pick up requiring you to enter their store Walmart could give a damn about the safety of their employees or their customers.
You're more likely to catch hepatitis at walmart than you are covid...fuck that mask
Good. It's about time. People should just wear a mask because it reduces the chance that they'll spread this virus if they're asymptomatic.
How was this not already a thing? Are there really places where people are not required to wear masks? 🤦🏼♂️
Excelent!
Mask but ya can showing half your ass is still ok?
boycottWalmart
And we will all take them off when we make it though the door.
Happy sheep I see
Your move kroger meijer Target Kohls Lowes
Haven't been in a Walmart since December. My local Sam's Club does a better job of promoting masks, Their employees wear masks and sanitize the checkout after each customer.
But it won't be enforced.
Im going with a folding chair and popcorn to watch the fireworks.....its july after all
You need a hazmat suit for Walmart pandemic or not.
Too late now Walmart, karma's a b*tch, instead of exercising proper common sense health precautions, you chose to help spread COVID19 by allowing your base to enter your stores unmasked, say hi to Kmart as you go down & continue to close hundreds of stores annually, bye Walmart
Oh no! Now Walmart is part of the deep state!
they will never enforce it.
Good, I'm not wanting to get sick, not even with a COLD! And also hate having sinus infections!!! You keep your filthy saliva away from me peasants!....😅👍
I already wear my mask, NY mandated mask wearing around April.. I see backless in my local Walmart, I avoid them. They aren't turning in masked away, I wonder if it will change with the company mandating it.. Will have to see.
So when you have COVIDIOTS who refuse to follow the rules, are Walmart and Sam's Club going to have bouncers at the front door? Cause you know someone is gonna pitch a fit.
I was just at Walmart. Wore my mask (bandana). Not a problem for me. Happy to wear a mask if it keeps people from staring at me.
How will they enforce it? My local one tells people to but people still blow right past him
No problemo! I will wear a mask in a store without issue. It's people wearing one outside and in a car that baffle me.
good job! I live in CA--and all the Walmart stores in my area, including their grocery stores, have been requiring a mask to get in since April.
PLEASE, 'a day late & a dollar short', they're doing it now as they're closing hundreds of stores anually & going under even more so w/ COVID19, as are ALL old style traditional retail stores LMFAO, where were they w/ this common sense health practice 5 mos ago 🤔🤣'BYE WALMART
Why wait until Monday
Walmart needs to start today... Will they make customers leave if they take their mask off in the store? Will they make employees wear them properly? Why didn't Walmart do this before now?
target did this and u should’ve seen the way the karen’s are their lol kailee’s were standing outside lmao
Luckily here in So Cal they already do...
TheHefTTV finally
Well, I won't be shopping at either any longer.
Bye bye Walmart!!
We won't go 👍 That Was Easy 🤣
While inside a building, like these stores, be respectful and wear a mask. It's a small sacrifice for the time of the present. Think of the sacrifices of the military and protective services at home and abroad. A mask is cake. Thank you for your time. God Bless, John German
See ya Walmart & SamsClub
Masks don't work.
Wow.
too late
In Mobile, AL half the people in the stores have no masks. So, I doubt Walmart is even going to enforce it because they haven't been at my local store.
this is a declaration of war!
Endless videos of grown adults having temper tantrums coming in 3... 2... 1...
F I N A L L Y!
Some of them have been doing it already, but it's been piecemeal. The Neighborhood Market by me has a security guard enforcing the Nevada mask rules, but at the regular Walmart down the street half the customers (and some of the employees) had none, or were wearing them wrong.
Good, but happening months after it should have.
MegBritGib rednecks about to be pissed.
What are these people going to do?
They've had the police at the front of our Walmart standing beside the employees that are turning people around at the door for a month or so now.
i'm just here to read the idiots complain about this
This would be great if the stores actually enforced the policy
How will they enforce it though?
The viral altercation videos at Walmart that come from this should be interesting.
Wow, they are late to the game!
If mask really work then why are cases still rising from when mask weren't recommended?
Wearing masks is THE away to go
This should make for some fun videos.
good
So long Walmart and Sam’s Club?
Okay but are you hiring armed security to enforce this cuz y’all do know your customers right?
Yeah okay the Walmart where i live wont let you in without your mask on but once you’re inside the store they dont care if you take it off.. that kinda defeats the whole fucking purpose 🤦♀️
😂😂😂😂
They should have done that all along!!!! Costco & Kroger did!!!
I was walking through Walmart before all of this started and I was looking at all the junk. I remember thinking at that time that humanity has maxed out. It felt like there was nothing good left ... just junk to package and sell.
Funny I had to run to Walmart this morning. Yes, there is an Officer making sure people have on a mask -- but once inside the store, I saw 'masks' pulled under chins... This is a PLOY to make people feel safe. Not happening! Unless they have personnel to make sure masks stay on!
I’m glad! I HATE wearing a mask, but the Pandemic rules and I wear one every where I go.
Masks don't work. Do some research.
Paranoid much Walmart?
Walmart in NC already have signs up requiring masks because it's mandated in our state. But it's not enforced. Wonder if they plan to fix that with their own policy.🤔
reesetheone1 I don’t get the 20th, why not today?
YAY!
Be on the lookout for a flood of videos of people yelling about wearing masks starting Monday! 😃😃
If you don't actually enforce the mandate, it's pointless. STOP THEM AT THE DOOR AND REFUSE ENTRY!
You Can't DISCRIMINATE AGAINST the Ones With MEDICAL Conditions
MadisonSiriusXM And I’ll bet they won’t miss a sell from the anit-mask ppl because their claims of loss of freedom/right is over ruled by saving money on Mountain Dews and DR Peppers
About Damn time.
It's about fucking time! Companies owned by fucking knuckle draggers.
Walmart I'll believe it when I see it! Even in DFW where it is mandated, they allowed customers in w/o masks. You have most lackadaisical poor management I've ever seen. You should hire temp individuals to put throughout store to remind people and hand out masks if necessary!
Walmart has been the worst offender in NC. The managers are Trump kool-aid drinkers who rent about religious freedom when the lack of masks in the store is pointed out.
I'm getting to where I cant wear a mask because I've got a sore on the top of my left ear that bleeds and hurts.
...and later today, tune in for the onslaught of angry Karen videos as selfish white entitled yahoos continue to claim their rights are being violated
This wasn’t a thing already?!?!
Good
About time.
Why in the hell do you wait 5 days? It needs to be done right now.
Walmart always supported communism so no surprise here
I guess we will be seeing a lot more “Karen’s” soon!
Why wait 5 days, if its important to the safety of your shoppers and your employees why would you do it now? Walmart SamsClub
About to be some hacked off hillbillies. Walmart COVID19
The good thing: I’ve seen many people wear masks, a national mandate would make it easier for those who are slow to comprehend the gravity of this pandemic
About to piss some yokels and libertarians off.
