Mask wearing is not something that should be mandated. We’ve said that from early on, you decide what works for you, your circumstances. But the pressure (professional and Political) reached a head and over a matter of days, as major retailers announced mask mandates in their stores. Now, they are walking them back.

Wal-Mart is Making Masks Mandatory
If you live somewhere that doesn’t mandate masks, we’ll call it a place with smart people who let adults make decisions, this will still impact you if you shop at Wal-Mart. The retailer has announced its own mask mandate beginning next Monday.
AOC – Take Control of Your Life…By Giving Government Control of Everything
It doesn’t get much more communist than this — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reading scripture and verse, or close enough, from the Soviet Indoctrination Guidebook. To be truly free you must let the government take over everything.
Wal-Mart and Virtue-Signalling
Dear Walmart:
(or, if you are from Winchester New Hampshire, “deah Walmahts”) Many heartfelt thanks go to Walmart Cuck Executive Officer, Doug McMillon. Thank you ever so much, Miss-ter McMillon for your recent decision to remove certain ammunition sales from all stores.
As you know, for a very long time local “Mom and Pop,” gun shops have experienced anemic ammunition sales due to Wal-Mart’s crushing, clobbering ability to volume sell ammunition, undercutting these local stores. Manufacturers will now be forced to adjust markets in order to realign the local markets you have abandoned. I have always contended that Wal-Mart stores were never really invested in our communities, apart from the profit margin. I am not being critical of markets, only stating the obvious, as confirmed by this decision.
Wal-Mart Bans Open-Carry in its Stores – Will Discontinue Selling Handgun Ammunition
This has no effect on me, but the left is getting its way again. Wal-Mart has announced a nationwide ban on open carry in their stores. It is also discontinuing short-barrel rifle ammunition and all handgun ammunition.
The People in El Paso are Smarter Than Most Democrat Politicians as Gun Sales Surge
If Democrats are to be believed, the law-abiding people of El Paso are lining up to turn their firearms over to “authorities.” Nope. Gun Sales are up in El Paso.
Dopey Wal-Mart Office Employees Plan Walk-Out Over Store’s Continued Sale of Firearms
Wal-Mart has been on a downward slope for years when it comes to firearms. And to be honest, I’d never buy one there. But think about it. The only thing that stops a shooter is the thing some Wal-Mart employee wants gone from the companies stores.
Wal-Mart (Was) Selling ‘Impeach 45’ T-Shirts
Yesterday, HotAir! reported that Wal-Mart, that place where they take all those “people you see at” pictures, was selling clothing (online at least) with the message ‘Impeach 45.’ I guess you won’t be seeing anyone at Wal-Mart buying or wearing one. They Pulled the product page.
Wal-Mart Walk Out
I know where I am going to shop on Black Friday. Wal-Mart.
Why?
Because pro-union groups are agitating Wal-Mart employees across the nation to walk-out on Black Friday. Unions have been trying to ruin Wal-Mart’s price advantage for years, particularity since they got into the grocery business; grocers unions were pissed and still are.
Overall the complaints are the same. They claim the employer is unfair. Maybe they are. But I’ve been an employer. I’ve run business. I know what goes down during the application , interview and hiring process. In past jobs I’ve hired thousands and fired more than a few. And this relationship can be summed up with this pull quote from this Fox news article.
“If you come into a workplace knowing that’s an agreement you might have to make, then that’s your choice to have that job,” shopper Rae Luce told the station.
Bulls-Eye.
Subject: A lady shopping in a Texas store…and the massacre in Aurora, Colorado.
The lady above is said to be shopping in a Texas Wal-Mart. I am delighted to see it, and hope to see the same in New Hampshire: As any rational person can see, stores with customers like this are far safer than without. You doubt it? Consider the massacre in the Aurora theater: If only ONE person carrying concealed had been present…
Wal-Mart: Making Stuff Up as We Merrily Go Along
“Wal-mart… do they like make walls there?” —Paris Hilton
I truly dislike Walmart. Back in April, I detailed in my column why Wal-Mart is anti-gun, “but it’s a secret.” Having gone to Wal-Mart for some tires, I felt myself lectured and admonished by a technician over the mere presence of an unloaded firearm present in my vehicle. I told the Wal-Mart lackey in no uncertain terms that he was full of crap and that he was making stuff up.
What I Hate About Wal-Mart
It’s not one of those "angst at their humongous success" screeds, I’m just trying to figure out why it takes so damn long to get out of that place. So this is more about fundamentals of business. Because the retail giant, that’s how the media refers to them, has in fact added much needed efficiencies to the global distributions system. No argument there. They provide discounted items to hundreds of millions annually, making creature comforts and necessary every-day products attainable to a wider swath of the population than anyone. (And more efficiently than the Democrats beloved federal government, I might add.) And they employ an army larger than most armies–wage and benefit arguments aside–because when you have staggering, persistent, inflation and unemployment as we do in the Obama economy, still having a job to wake up to is like getting a raise every-single- day. Even if the government is making it worth less and less, every-single-day.
So what’s my beef (about Wal-Mart)?
I work in Amherst, New Hampshire and the Wal-Mart Super Store there is, if nothing else, convenient. It is convenient to get to, but not convenient to get out of, and there lies my "operational" complaint. No matter what time of day I am in there, 6am, lunchtime, afternoon, evening,…there are never, EVER, enough cashiers. Did I say never?
The average time spent standing in the check-out line at Wal-Mart is most certainly a reflection of their desire to charge less for some items, but can we possibly try to keep it under fifteen minutes? It takes me twice as long to get out as it does to do the actual shopping, most of which is spent walking from the entrance to whatever zip code the milk cooler is in and back. This is a problem.
Long check out lines. High average check. Cashier bagging everything….hope you are not in a hurry.
So what about the self-checkout? Great idea. I love it. Except that so does everyone else because the other lines are so damn long.
The latest trend at self-checkout, OK it is not the latest I’m just being timely, seems to be that people with fifty items or more also feel compelled to use it, as if this will actually take less time than standing in another line. These are of course the same people who have no idea how to use it, if that gives you some idea of where this is headed.
This is not like trying a new salad dressing at lunch, or a new look, or even a new vacation destination. This is serious. Other peoples lives are affected.
