*Welp! So much for the Walmart mask mandate for customers.
Earlier this month, Walmart announced that as of July 20, face coverings would be mandatory for all but those whose medical conditions prevent it. The move was an attempt to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
While it seemed like the best decision as many other major retailers have implemented those rules, it looks like Walmart is now reversing its decision. According to Business Insider, the retail giant won’t enforce its rules on wearing masks because it fears staff could be attacked by shoppers angry at being challenged.
