We’ve come to a time where a trip to Walmart is significant enough for its own post. That’s how slow the world seems to be moving around me since the pandemic.
The Walmart near me has designated the set of automatic doors at each entrance as either in or out and they’ve made sure it’s enforced by having someone stand out there, plus have wrapped yellow tape around the poles to have people go in the right direction. Inside, employees are all wearing masks and a voice on the loudspeakers occasionally gives some scripted message about being safe during the coronavirus. It’s eerie…but a good reminder to anyone who just might be starting to get complacent about this pandemic.
But judging by the amount of people wearing masks (nearly everyone from what I noticed) people are taking this seriously! No ones practicing the six feet distance from each other in aisles, but that’s pretty impractical in a narrow aisle. At least it’s being encouraged at the check-out lanes with stickers on the floor reminding people about keeping six feet between each other. Also, the lack of toilet paper also seems to show that people are still hoarding…and the closing time is 4 and a half hours earlier than it usually is.
