A limit of 10 customers per store. That is funny and incredibly low.

Meanwhile a riot breaks out in the Wal Mart parking lot.

There's definitely a limit of how many people can go in, but didn't notice the maximum number at my local Walmart. We weren't allowed to bring our cloth bags, yet still had to pay for a plastic bag. The least they could do is waive the bag fee.

Other grocery stores I've been to are doing the same thing too.

My Walmart was pretty packed on friday. They had people waiting "6ft" apart outside, and they were wiping down carts for people as they went in.


There did appear to be some kind of limit, as there was a guy posted out front counting and shuffling people in, Idk, maybe 50? It did seem busier than normal. I was able to get right in, the whole thing went pretty fast honestly. And I found toilet paper. lol

We had one large but getting smaller grocery chain announce that they would waive the CA state fee/tax on the bags and another with a sign up at the register saying that state law prevents them from giving bags away. I guess the former expects that public outcry will prevent the Attorney General from going after them and/or will pass whatever settlement is finally come to in future prices.

I haven't been to any stores since 3/31 so it will be interesting to see how they're going it in my area.

My plan is to avoid the stores that are normally crowded in general: Walmart, Target, Costco & go to the stores that were never really that crowded all along, PLUS go on what I've researched to be the LEAST crowded day of the week & time of the day.

I don't need to expose myself to any extra germs since I have a compromised immune system.

Last Friday I went shopping at Walmart for the first time in two weeks. When I arrived I saw 90% to 95% of the customers wearing masks. I didn't see even one single Walmart employee wearing a mask, not one. The store had a rope separating the entrance and exit, but I walked right in. They also had space markings on the floor at the registers, but only for three spaces. There were about 20 people in each line, so there wasn't much room for social distancing, beyond the first three spaces. They had installed fiberglass in front of the cashiers. I see now that Walmart is just starting to requiring employees to wear masks.

I went to walmart early this morning, it wasn't busy at all and they had the separated entrances, arrows, on the floor, reminders to keep distances, the whole bit.
And all I have to say is thank goodness there were few people there because only about half the shoppers had masks, and apparently me and one other guy shopping there were the only two customers who knew how to follow the arrows! It should have been a quick trip, but took double the time because I wound up waiting on all the idjits who kept going down the middle of the aisles going the wrong way.

Went to Walmart today, many with no masks, couple with 4 children no masks on them, kids running around touching things. Last Wednesday there were more masks worn than today. Forget social distancing. The people with no masks were of all age groups.
