Bentonville, Ark.—Walmart, the world’s largest retailer, said Friday that it won’t require vaccinated shoppers or workers to wear a mask in its U.S. stores unless state or local laws say otherwise. Vaccinated shoppers can go maskless immediately, the company said. Vaccinated workers can stop wearing them on Tuesday. As an incentive, Walmart said it is offering workers $75 if they prove they’ve been vaccinated. Customers won’t be asked but rather held to an “honor system” regarding their vaccination status, Walmart said. Workers, however, will need to answer “yes” to a vaccination question in a daily health assessment in order to go maskless,

“I identify as vaccinated.”
Ha!

Libs are concerned that those who aren't vaccinated will walk about unmasked, as if they are. Well, libs, if you're vaccinated you have nothing to worry about; if you're not, the mask you continue to wear will protect you.

Thee Walmart here has big sign saying you dont have to wear masks---if you have health problems. I have never worn a mask there, They offer me a mask at the door but dont say anything else.

Here in East Texas - seeing a mask on a non-employee (and most employees) in a Walmart is quite rare. We are so over it!

LOL! I have been shopping without a mask in Walmart for a couple of weeks. Nobody said a word, including the employee I asked for help locating an item last week, Nary a peep. And I'll be picking up a prescription tomorrow.

I guess I have no honor because I will just tell them that I'm vaccinated. It's none of their business what my response to a pretend health hysteria is. Yes, the signs at Walmart say you don't have to wear a mask if you have health issues, but our idiot governor here in New Mexico mandates that I get a "note from my doctor" to document my COPD. Guess the oxygen concentrater I use isn't enough of a clue for them.

Unless you're in NYS, where Cuomo rules. He has to "assess" the rule first, then dictate the rule is stupid and everyone is still mandated to wear masks so he can retrain he dictatorship over the masses. The legislature will immediately follow Cuomo's rule since they don't want to take away his power..

If they ask me if I have been vaccinated, I can honestly say, "Yes." (Of course, it was for polio many years ago.)

The first and only time I have been denied entry anywhere was at a wal mart a few days ago, and I have never masked during this hoax. According to the little weenie who was "just doing my job", some manager was pushing it. I'm guessing he was brought in from a nearby communist state.
No matter. There are lots of places to spend my money long after this foolishness is over. I dont need wal mart.

Walmart is dead to me. When some cheap employee months ago was screaming at me because I did not have a mask. The h3ll with them. She was screaming this is my store and you must tell me why you will not wear a mask or get out. Well you all know what I did. I got out and never purchased a thing from them again.

Our town of 1,100 folk does not require a dress code of any kind. Not the post office, not anywhere. Number of covid deaths? zero, 0, nada. Many people do wear a mask, which proves every village does have its idiots. Have a blessed day folk.

Funny, the Wal Mart in my Oklahoma town took down their mask signs weeks ago. Haven’t worn one in there in more than a month.

This is why they give everyone a card filled out with the vaccine's name and date given to each person who has received the vaccine. It's your vaccine passport.

Where we live, Wal-mart has given up on masks for some time. This very red area had shoppers simply refusing and if enough do that, management backs down.

South Dakota Wal-Mart quit the harrassment 3 months ago — customers refused and I heard that on radio!
