By Michael Snyder,
Things are really starting to get crazy out there. All over the country, “non-essential” businesses have been forced to shut down, but because Walmart sells food and other basic supplies it gets to be one of the “essential” businesses that stays open. However, a trip to your local Walmart now will be far different from what you remember previously. When you arrive, you will find that a very narrow entry corridor has been taped off with yellow security tape, and only a very limited number of shoppers are being allowed in at any one time. And once you get inside, you will discover that there are very strict limits on what you are permitted to purchase.
Wow, so we just got back from walmart in Pine Bluff, AR….they herded us in, like cattle…I kid you not….we had to go through a taped-off line and they had only one door open instead of the two they normally have. They have a 5 person limit in Magnolia, AR…..and security guards at the door as well…armed security guards. You can only buy one loaf of bread and the store closed at 7PM…normally open 24 hours. It is CRAZY….someone opened a side door by accident and alarms started going off. I joked to the lady next to me “Oh crap, someone must have taken more than a dozen eggs!”
You can see some video of what these taped off entry corridors looks like right here. Obviously a lot of the customers are quite concerned about potentially catching the virus because they are wearing masks or other coverings over their mouths.
Just days ago, Walmart stores all over the nation were operating normally. But then on Friday, draconian new restrictions were suddenly announced…
Starting Saturday, we will limit the number of customers who can be in a store at once. Stores will now allow no more than five customers for each 1,000 square feet at a given time, roughly 20 percent of a store’s capacity.
To manage this restriction, the associates at a store will mark a queue at a single-entry door (in most cases the Grocery entrance) and direct arriving customers there, where they will be admitted one-by-one and counted. Associates and signage will remind customers of the importance of social distancing while they’re waiting to enter a store – especially before it opens in the morning.
Once a store reaches its capacity, customers will be admitted inside on a “1-out-1-in” basis.
Once shoppers do get inside, they will find that their choices have been significantly narrowed.
In fact, in some Walmart stores entire aisles have been completely sealed off…
Walmart stores in New England are sealing off entire aisles with products deemed “unnecessary” in attempts to combat the scourge of shoppers wandering around to relieve coronavirus quarantine fatigue.
According to CBS Boston, Walmart in addition to Home Depot and BJ’s Wholesale stores in the town of Chicopee, Massachusetts, worked with the city health department to “reduce unnecessary roaming around aisles and putting others at risk.”
Unfortunately, in some stores garden seeds have actually been deemed “non-essential”, and so many that were hoping to grow their own food during this time will be out of luck.
Hopefully once this pandemic is behind us we will see these ridiculous restrictions at Walmart locations go away.
But as we have seen during other moments of crisis in the past, once “emergency measures” get implemented they have a way of sticking around.
And right now many Americans seem to be in the mood to sacrifice their liberties and freedoms for an illusion of safety. If you can believe it, one recent survey actually found that 67 percent of us actually want restrictions put on interstate travel…
Although America has a reputation for being rather libertarian with regards to personal rights and one’s freedom of movement, a new opinion poll by Rasmussen Reports shows that Americans are turning hardline in the face of the new and deadly Chinese coronavirus. Two out of three want to ban interstate travel and fine those who violate social distancing guidelines.
To be precise, 67% of likely U.S. voters say they want to ban all out-of-state travelers from entering their state — except for emergencies. A mere 21% are opposed, 12% are undecided. As for fining those who break social distancing guidelines: 68% support such a measure, while 20% oppose it and, again, 12% are not sure.
Yes, we should all work together to defeat this virus, but once we lose our most cherished liberties and freedoms they will be exceedingly difficult to get back.
So we should definitely take common sense precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but we must also diligently guard our rights wherever they are threatened.
As this pandemic stretches on, people all over the world are going to be clamoring for a “solution”, and without a doubt the elite will gladly give us one once it is ready.
We are being told that life will not get back to “normal” until a vaccine arrives, and we are also being told that the elite are feverishly working toward that goal.
In fact, it is being reported that Bill Gates is spending billions of dollars building seven different vaccine factories…
Bill Gates is plugging money into building factories for seven promising coronavirus vaccine candidates, even though it will mean wasting billions of dollars.
On Thursday’s episode of “The Daily Show,” the Microsoft billionaire told the host Trevor Noah that his philanthropic organization, the Gates Foundation, could mobilize faster than governments to fight the coronavirus outbreak.
Our society is being transformed at a pace that is absolutely breathtaking, and life as you have known it will never be the same again.
These are perilous times, and things are only going to get stranger from this point forward.
So work hard, pray hard and hold on tight, because the road ahead is going to be really bumpy.

I’ve been working in retail stores for more than 25 years. I’ve seen enough of the public to know that in a pinch, they are capable of herd behavior at an alarming state. Working for Home Depot in Michigan, I’ve seen a repeat of what is described here. The day we sold out on toilet paper, it happened in barely three hours. By the end of the business day, all toilet paper was sold out of the website as well. I’ve never seen such outrageous, mind boggling hysteria in my life. I watched people bring in their children just to push shopping carts loaded full of the stuff before we could even post signs to set a limit on it. I’ve never seen such selfish, belligerent, unruly behavior in a store in all my life. People need to really look at themselves in the mirror every day. They should ask themselves if they would act in the same way if confronted with the same situation. I know that after this, everyday business will never be the same again. I will do whatever I need to do to escape working with the public again. It is certainly the most thankless, stressful and angering work I’ve ever done. A co-worker of mine told me the other day that he checked his blood pressure after he got home. After sitting for a bit, his blood pressure was 180/120. This was with his regular medication! I’ve been afraid to check mine. Thankfully, I know the benefits of meditation. I’ve been doing it for more than 50 years!
Walmart dropped all pretense of respect for civil liberties when it got onto the anti-Second Amendment bandwagon. In addition there are dark indications from Jade Helm 15 that the corporation is formally but secretly in collusion with terrifying contingency plans in place by fascist elements of the US government. I am well past ever darkening the door of Walmart, so whatever they are doing to customers is beyond my concern.
Southern Baptist single-energy male psyche will do anything to sell their protection rackets to the public and if women and decent males do not stand up against them with well-placed letters, etc. it will happen for above all else they fear the loss of control of women. It is time the individuals out-grow the need to be manipulated by small minds bent on absolute power over others. We earn what we get and stopping problems in the beginning is important.
What would be allowed in one state isn’t necessarily what will happen in another. Please do not create the illusion of powerlessness. The dark forces, who have been manipulating fear-based individual thinking to act as their pawns, have no power over those who refuse to play their games.
Damn people have lost their common sense amid this fear factor hoax. If this virus was really deadly nothing we would do would stop it until it dies out. We would all have to wear hazmat gear. This is the hoax to crash the economy of the world, have a mandated vaccine for everyone and disarm every American. This is called a communist takeover and they are doing it using the “phony virus” as the catalyst. Unless Trump and Americans come to full action when the U.N. shows up on our shores we are all done. Better to die fighting them then to be starved to death. And, don’t think you will be one of the ones not starved to death as long as you do what you are told. Are you a Christian or have it written in your records that you are? Check Are you against communism? Check Are you xyz? Check You will be moved to a FEMA location and worked to death while being starved as well. History proves this is what happens. Read it while the Internet is still able to be accessed even though they have locked down so much info that it is limited. Read about starvation under Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, Peter Kropotkin, Rosa Luxemburg, Vladimir Lenin, Emma Goldman, Leon Trotsky, Joseph Stalin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao Zedong, Josip Broz Tito, Enver Hoxha, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro. Judaism = Communism
Despite the slight overdose of entitlement in American shoppers, hm! like “only 1 door was open while normally all two of them are” (hilarious) I think that the control room keeps in mind that this pandemic will last for quite a while and that food supplies need to be distributed in small amounts so that the population is secured with food for a long time. Only 1 bread at a time. Why not? I buy 1 bread at a time all of my adult life, ha!
Alas, to keep the population secure with food, etc. by spreading it rather thin, serves the relative peace and quiet I think. Otherwise, riots and looting will begin to appear and that means total chaos possibly, and harsh measures, chosen to keep people in custody and under quarantine, with the fear of contamination in the background at the same time.
Gosh, what a world we live in. At times I feel I’m in a Steven Spielberg movie.
