Target, CVS and Walgreens are the latest retailers to announce that they, too, will require shoppers to wear masks or face coverings at stores nationwide.

The mask does not protect anyone. It will make the wearer sick. I wear mask to work and no where else. Masks damage heart. lungs, and brain. More people die from flu then this hoax. Wake up before it's too late.
Had a customer come to my counter the other day to check out wearing her mask under her chin and unwilling to stand behind the spit shield. I don't how people can have such disregard for others.
Wearing a mask helps to protect OTHERS and YOURSELF. If the person you are interacting with and you both wear a mask, much more protection. If only one wears the mask, the person without the mask is more apt to lean in closer. People have also been known to accidentally spit when they talk and if they are unknowingly in the contagious stage, their mask would contain their saliva. Without the mask, the airborne saliva is now on you or you inhaled particles without your awareness. If neither person wears a mask, someone has inhaled and now both may be contagious with either person knowing.
It's a good thing people aren't wearing masks because they aren't sanitary and don't protect from any virus and in fact breeds germs due to the moisture from breath and the touching of the mask
Some of you are stating what employees and managers should do to make sure customers should wear masks if mandatory but why don’t you Google what happens to people that tell customers to wear masks and you will see why Walgreens has told there employees not to be the mask police. People have been beaten up and stabbed if your so brave why don’t you tell someone to wear a mask
I was in Walgreens the other day, with a mask on. There was a sign, before you go in the store, saying that wearing a mask was mandatory in the store. I was next in line to checkout and there was a lady already checking out and without a mask. Another cashier stepped in on the other side of this woman and wanted to take the next person in line which was me. this meant I had to walk around the person without the mask to be rung up (about 1/2 foot distance) and stand next to her while my purchase were being rung up. I said I would wait because I did not want to go pass the person without the mask. Then, the person without the mask says she didn't realize she wasn't wearing a mask. (Older woman)
WEAR MASKS OR NO SERVICE.... MANDATORY MASK REQUIREMENT. THIS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED IN ALL RETAIL STORES. THIS REQUIREMENT SHOULD BE IN WALGREENS STORES AS SOME CUSTOMERS COME IN WITHOUT PROTECTIVE COVERINGS. WALGREENS NEEDS TO SUPPORT THEIR EMPLOYEES AND THE MANDATORY MASK REQUIREMENT. CUSTOMERS ARE NOT ALWAYS RIGHT IN RESPECT TO FOLLOWING THE RULES LIKE OTHERS CUSTOMERS WHO OBEY THE MANDATORY MASK REQUIRMENT. ITS NOT ABOUT LOSING CUSTOMERS, ITS ABOUT DOING WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOUR CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES.
If it is mandatory that customers wear masks before entering the store, and if the employee is uncomfortable confronting customer, then the manager should step up and process the transaction if customers are being allowed in the store without mandatory protection. If the manager is not available, then an assistant manager or shift lead can process the transaction. Maybe, then, the masks will be considered mandatory and will be enforced (or maybe not).
And yet not wearing a mask inside the corporate office is allowed. What about protecting the employees everywhere?
Not at my store !!!! We were told due to other store employees being yelled at or worse we are not enforcing it, and we still hv to ring them up !! Disgusting
