I just came from our local Walmart and yes, I wore a mask as “ordered”. I saw all kinds of people not wearing masks. I asked the lady at the front end of store if they were enforcing their mask policy. She told me that they can’t enforce it because a person could have a medical condition that keeps them from wearing one and that Walmart cannot ask the customer why they are not wearing one because of HIPPA laws.
Now, I’m sorry, but Walmart knew they could not enforce it, so why did they even bother making a statement about wearing masks in their store? I’ll tell you why..... PUBLICITY!
edit: Winn Dixie does not require masks. I'll be shopping there from now on.

Winn Dixie just backtracked last night. Masks are now required. I guess it's small, local grocery stores for me from now on.
shoot. Too bad. Thanks for the update.
