With every small store closed and all other chain stores like Home Depot or Trader Joe's counting entries to maintain mandated 50% occupancy limits, why is every Walmart I've been to overflowing at twice pre-pandemic capacity? I've never seen such lax protocol anywhere else. it's like they are getting a pass. I for one avoid Wally like the plague.
Because Americans are stupid enough to let it happen. In fact they vote officials in who they know will impose such measures. They did it again in 2020. And I guess they will be bellyaching again in a few months about what THEY THEMSELVES voted for.

Because you go inside of the local WalMart instead of waiting outside the Target's social distancing line. The state's only means of enforcement is to strip licenses given for health reasons and beyond that most businesses, at least in my location which enforce local occupancy do so on a voluntary basis just as they di with the Fire Marshal's maximum occupancy regulations when deputies where not in private businesses on a daily basis to insure compliance.
The local Walmart here had staff logging the flow of shoppers and knows the number in the store at any given minute. I always inquire how many are in and know their normal limit. they have never been at even half cap. And they are under no orders to limit due to c19. They never seem crowded.
Sports is another group allowed to operate relatively normally. And they are actually getting COVID and allowed to continue.
Sports and WalMart... considered as essential... i.e., too big to fail.
Seems like we heard that before about a decade ago with the mortgage crisis. Small banks failed. Big banks were bailed out - as they were considered as too big to fail.
I wonder if they dont realise they are letting 100% or more in....... The super center I went to the other day was quite full also..
And earlier that day I went to whole foods and they asre capping at 75 and I had about a 5 min wait (Not too bad) Trader Joes is MUCH WORSE!!!! (They cap at 50 and the line is ridiculously long)
I see them tabulating at Walmart with a tablet. Of any store, Walmart has not had true caps compared to other stores. Home Depot was the only non-mall store I've seen a line at. Trader Joe's had one two days before Christmas (which mind you, other stores I saw a LOT of people at other stores too) but because Trader Joe's keeps numbers down, it is hard to get into.
The pay those idiots off that we vote in every 2-4 years. Thats why. Bribery is legal in America for some reason. "The Golden Rule". He with the gold makes the rules.
the citizens can stop it, but they refuse too. Oh well. Can't fix stupid. Let the sheep continue to be blonde.
Hope everyone considers never to open a small business again in this country if this is how we are going to continue to cast votes. You're only asking for bankruptcy

So true. The sheeple are letting themselves get stampeded by kool aide pushing know nothings. Drink up
