Walmart never stopped serving maskless customers. Anyone who said they are medically exempt, or have a religious reason for not wearing a mask, was allowed to shop, and thanked for coming in. Anyone who refused to wear a mask without citing a reason was not to be barred entrance. At most, the "Health Ambassador" could inform a salaried member of management. The Manager then could, if they chose, remind the customer about the policy. If the customer still refused, and still did not cite a reason, the manager could, then, if they chose, and if police had already expressed a willingness to be called over mask-issues, call the police. The police then would ask the customer to leave and return with a mask.
During any of these three interactions, the customer could simply say "I am medically exempt" and right then and there it would end. Further, most Walmarts do NOT have local police who are willing to be called over masklessness. Further, most Walmarts do not have Management who would waste police time over this crap, or even actually CARE about this crap in the slightest. They comply with company policy and local mandates, as it is their job, as do I when on the clock. But at any step in the process that is left up to their discretion, they, at my store at least, just let it go. I've seen one of my own managers, when dealing with a Karen about to have a fit about another customer not wearing a mask (who may have been me, post-shift) let her know that we're not the police, and that any customer who has religious or medical reasons to not wear a mask are not to be discriminated against.
Ask to speak to their manager. They've just violated a policy written by Home Office. At this point, you can continue to escalate until you find someone who will comply with the policy as written. And the higher they let it go, the more severe the punishment will be when it eventually gets sorted out. Wasting a couple minutes of the APASM will probably give Health Karen a warning. If you get to Market Manager, then the Store Manager is gonna get a talking to, the APASM is going to get a more intense talking to, and Health Karen may well get a Coaching, which is a thing that, if many are accrued simultaneously, mean Sayonara.
No Problem. The "health ambassadors" have a very limited number of options. First, they remind you of Walmart's Mask Policy OR the Local Mask Mandate, whichever is more strict. If you say you have a medical/religious exemption, they are to reply "I Understand. Thank you for shopping at Walmart!" and let you proceed unimpeded. If you say anything else, or even nothing at all, they aren't allowed to question you, stop you, anything else. They can repeat themselves if you say nothing and they think you didn't hear them, but that's it.
Now, things can go to the place I mentioned above, with management and/or police, but that's a very long shot, and again, you can get out of their bullshit just by saying "I have a medical exemption." You don't have to explain what it is, and they're not even allowed to ask. Hell, I know that even the PA Executive Mandate, written by Tranny Granny himself, clearly states that people are not to be asked to prove their medical reasons.

Thanks for the tip.
I actually got irritated and told her to call the cop on me then walked past her.
