Trader Joe's customers don't have to wear a mask while shopping, the grocery chain says. The news follows new guidance that allows fully vaccinated people to go without masks under most circumstances.

New York Shoppers who are vaccinated against Covid-19 can shop without masks in some Walmart, Sam's Club and Costco locations as well as at Trader Joe's, the companies said in separate announcements Friday.

The news follows new guidance that fully vaccinated people can go without masks under most circumstances. On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that fully vaccinated people don't have to wear masks or practice social distancing indoors or outdoors, except when in healthcare settings, on public transportation, or in other areas where governments require masks. People will still need to follow workplace and local businesses' mask guidance, the CDC said.

Shame on TraderJoesUnion I shop there because they care about their employees. This is not caring.

H

no one in the comments here makes sense please explain your sentiment if you see this upset people

Masks were always annoying let’s face it

Trader Joe’s is now favorite place to shop..cause liberals will be boycotting it! Lib free shopping!

Because magically overnight covid just became non existent f*** them. Because their God, CDC, gave them permission now they will do it. thesepeoplearejokes maskswerepointless sheepwillbesheep thesesuckkas

This is a disaster waiting to happen...another wave

So if I wear a shirt that says 'Fuck Trump' and I don't wear a mask then you can trust me I'm vaccinated.

How will they *know* I'm fully vaccinated? Thanks but I'm still wearing my mask at my favorite store. Fortunately, MAGAs aren't big on Trader Joe's.

Well guess I can’t bring my kid in anymore

So Walmart, Cosco & Trader Joe's are going to use the honor system(vaccine = no mask) ? Zero chance the new rules will work. Honor hasn't existed in the USA for years.

And how exactly would they know. Are ppl suppose to whip out vaccination cards as a form of identification nowadays

noooooooooopoo duck djsjsjshshsish

And how are they going to make sure people are really vaccinated? Striking Trader Joe’s off my list of stores I’ll visit.

Will they be checking gor proof of vaccination?

Just when I was hoping to go back

I guess I won’t be hitting TJs for a while then.

This is great news. Also, if you’re still afraid of Covid, stay home, let the rest of us live our lives. 😊 😊

I wish people could just stop arguing over this COVID stuff already 😐

People don’t care who they give it to. Just some random stranger. Honor system? What a joke. I work at a competitor and got it over Xmas. Lots of maskless f*ckers.

So Trader Joe’s and Walmart don’t give a shit about kids. Got it

Fuck TJ. They are anti-union anyway.

are they going to check for vaccine cards at the door? and throughout the store? won't be shopping those places, even though I'm vaccinated and more than willing to wear a mask when I go out in public.

And how does staff feel about this?

And how many sick self-centered anti-maskers will now be pretending to be vaxxed? They should a have stamps on their forehead

Disparities again?! What about the risk to people who may not be vaccinated because they don’t trust vaccines or believe Covid is a threat? We should be protecting fools too. Some of those fools are our family members.

So who's checking? Do they really believe the people will follow the honor system. I (even if fully vaccinated) will keep mine on, to at least show the kind of respect to the employees that the company seem willing to sacrifice.
