WalMart not enforcing masks....

Everybody in my Walmart is wearing a mask. Some let it drop below their nose, probably accidentally. But seriously -- just how do you expect Walmart to enforce it? Deny people entry? What if they just push their way in? Call the police, who have their arms tied behind their back? Yeah, good luck with that.
 
Just last week, Target, Walmart, Drug stores, many grocery store all said we are requiring masks in our stores. I was so relieved to hear it! Then two days later they said, " but we are not enforcing it!" I don't know if that is just in South Carolina or all over the country. With no national organization on these things it is hard to know?

I have only been in a grocery store 4 times in the last 5 months, I have my groceries delivered and left on the front porch to avoid contact with anyone. I live a lone and have basically quit my part time job. I don't see my children or grand children anymore except outside and far apart.

If I could know that everyone would wear a mask at the stores, I would be able to go but I won't go because they are not wearing them.

Hire security guards if need be! I have to ask myself........why would anyone not wear a mask? It is been proven and we know that it makes a huge difference. I can't feel safe even going anywhere because of the people who won't were them. The people who don't where masks are a menace to society right now........yes police intervention when needed.

I just started going to a grocery store again last month and have encountered 2 people without masks even though it is mandated here. My doctor said you have to be exposed to an infected person for 10 minutes to catch the virus but I heard elsewhere 5 minutes. So, what I am doing is get in and out of the store fast!

I live in AZ (unfortunately, for many reasons), but there seems to be a "do what you want" attitude all across the country. The women that was in front us to enter the store didn't have a mask and they asked her to wear one that they were handing out, but she refused and they let her enter any way. I can understand not wanting to confront these "hoax" believers by an employee. My husband and I talked about it when we left and agreed it could put people in danger from not just Covid but from someone wheedling a gun (as it's legal here in AZ to carry in a store).

The big problem is all the disinformation about everything and people are eating it up like candy. This will continue to spread and thousands more will die because there is such a lack of leadership.

The lack of national leadership and confidence building in our authoritative agencies that is giving us good scientific information and direction is what is wrong, way wrong here. I don't care what political camp you are from, our leader has failed us horribly and continues to do so.

I have seen people without masks or masks pulled. down to their chin in some of the places I've gone to hear in Ohio.At one place the man was told to pull his mask up or leave and he said he had COPD and could not breathe with the mask on. They let him stay there

I just hope that everyone that was in the room will be okay

Yes, I love it when people don't wear a mask as it makes them feel like they can't breathe. If you are unlucky enough to contract Covid, you will really know what it feels like not be able to breathe. People need to get over the mask excuses.
 
The WalMart where I live is definitely enforcing the wearing of mask. There are signs at the entrance, and 2 "greeters" standing there to remind people. They have boxes of masks for those who "forgot" their own. It seems to be working.

It is not mandated here and I would say, upon the few times I have been there, about 25% of the people are without masks. So cities and counties have ordinances, just not mine. Our governor won't do it.
