Costco Shoppers, Things Are About to Change


This should go over well.:rolleyes:


Costco shoppers, gear up for Monday. That's when the retail giant will begin requiring workers and shoppers to wear masks or face coverings, USA Today reports. "The use of a mask or face covering should not be seen as a substitute for social distancing," the company says in a statement. "Please continue to observe rules regarding appropriate distancing while on Costco premises." But the rule doesn't apply to children younger than 2 and people who can't cover their face because of medical issues. For other rules and related news:



As for Costco's new rules, you can imagine the tweets. Some include the #boycottCostco hashtag and threaten to cancel their membership; one rages, "I REFUSE to mask up for the low IQ mob that's falling for the propaganda." Others fire back with missives like, "You are all a bunch of crybabies. Where I live we have to wear face masks if we want to go to ANY store!"

In my area, Walmart and Sam's Club have keep an employee at the door, with six-foot spacing lines down the sidewalk, counting the customers in and out on an iPad, only allowing us in when someone leaves. So far, not asking for masks, but I expect its soon.

This is not new. In SEPA our local Costco has been enforcing the mask/6 foot rule if you go in with "us old guys" between 8 and 9 am Tues-Thurs. Not a problem, but then I suspect some would be "upset" with another "rule" they have. If you are a first responder, cop or medic/nurse, show your ID badge and go the front of any queue any time. In my my book, not a problem at all, in others !!!!!! Dave_n
 
Mrs. Mod34 and I were in a local store with signage indicating that a mask was required. We complied. While in the store, we noticed several shoppers without masks. We asked the manager, "WTH?" His response: "They're 'required' but we have no way to police and enforce it, so....."

Abstract thought alert! We sort of think that if masks are required, they should be provided by the establishment.

Sort of highlights our overall dilemma I guess.

No, but the police can eject them from the store if needed. Their store, their rules and tuff stuff if you don't want to follow their rules.

Yep. And call the police for trespassing if they won't leave.

I think that's unnecessary and would be overdoing it, but the notion that there's nothing store management can do is incorrect.

Costco who? ;) What are they going to do, call the police? Police enforce laws, not store policies.

Yep, here in NC where we are ahead of some apparently, they started no mask no entry at least 10 days ago.

Guess what, 10-20% of the people took off their masks and walked around right in front of the employees.
Before the nannies come in, yes, I was there.

Not a single word or glance over to them. People do what they want.

Eject? No one is calling the police. They are not giving up loyal customers, end of story.


No employee is going to tell anyone to put their mask on, they're smarter than that.

Guess the guy at the Subway on Jones and Flamingo yesterday didn't get the memo. Nor did the FFL I was visiting today. As other have said, this is likely more advice issued in a way that sounds like an order from our governor. It happens to be one I approve of.
