what happened in walmart yesterday?

[@SGCook50]

I work at Walmart and three weeks ago we asked about wearing gloves and mask and we were told no, it would scare the customers.... A week later they started giving us gloves, hand sanitizer and that's it... Now all of a sudden we have people in this town testing positive (1 who works at our store) but we are not shutting down, they want that ever loving $$$$ .

[@OutdoorMomma]

Sheila C. That’s what I was told by an employee here as well just today

Thank you... I work in the Online Grocery Pickup (OGP) and the week we asked that, I waited one 3 people with the Flu,another 1 with Strep and another that didn't know what they had... They have to sign a handheld for the groceries and I handle it constantly I carry hand sanitizer in my pocket for that reason. I'm worried of course but I have no choice but to work... Everyone please stay safe out there, take it seriously, this stuff is bad!

It freaked us out.. My family is now in full PPE mode.

[@kittykat5204]

they should just make it like the gym.. have disinfecting wipes next to each self check out. At the end of the day, everyone should be responsible. After this pandemic, I would hope we don’t live in a world where we have to go out of the house prepare for a war each day, for now, it’s better to just stay home you guys. If u wouldn’t take your own kids outside, stay home if necessary

[@dogbugler]

Thank you for this walk about at Costco. I would like to add one item to talk about. The Costco stores do require us to show store receipts, due to the fact we have signed a contract with them when we pay our fees to shop in their stores. Walmart on the other cannot force you to show them your receipt when leaving. The difference is you did not sign a contract to shop at Walmart and Costco has in their contract that you shall show them your receipt upon being asked. So you don't have to show your receipt when leaving their store, also it means one less personal concact. If Walmart needs to verify your purchase tell them to look at their damn security footage of your trip to the register, be done. Shalom. Stay Safe, Bee Well, DFS People.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

True

[@sandispady9058]

I can’t stand all the dumb people waiting in line at Walmart to have their receipt check. I just keep on walking and tell the no thank you.

[@MHSMagicLuver]

At mine they mostly just check if you have something that’s not bagged. Then there’s a freaking line so long because people don’t understand it and I’m like.. literally just walk out. I don’t understand waiting in a line for something that doesn’t need to be done.

[@OnyxRain4]

Cat food and litter was one of the first thing's I got. We have 3 cat's and we have to buy prescription cat food because one of our cat's has a health issue. I picked it up and ordered big bags online.

[@MelModica]

It’s true!!! Im disgusted by Walmart and any store that doesn’t allow their employees to wear masks and gloves!!! Also last time I went to Walmart the sanitizing wipes by the carts were totally empty!!!

[@DropForgedSurvival]

We stopped shopping completely during Co Vid 1-9 and we are also now in FULL PPE Mode.

[@dakotawinds9291]

most likely they don't have any due to people freaking out and hoarding the stuff. We still have trouble finding toilet paper, paper towels, bottled water, bleach, hand sanitizer, 90% of canned meat and veggies, and more in our town of 180,000 and we are in the dakota's. People are acting crazy with this hoarding instead of using common sense. It is all about the me,me,me attitude and this "crisis" is proving it in so many ways. If you want to stock up just grab 1 extra of the items you need (like 2 packs of toilet paper or paper towels instead of the normal 1 pack), not walk out with 3 damn carts full of one item.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

ALL Toiletries are still cleaned out all over our city for sure.

[@LordRahl2266]

@@DropForgedSurvival You guys do realize that there are medical profesionals across the country that are reusing PPE like gloves and masks due to a shortage in supply right now right? When an employee follows guidelines like proper hand washing, sanitization, and not touching their faces they can avoid contracting the virus just as well as if they had a full set of PPE gear. That employee wearing a pare of gloves will not keep you any safer unless they are changing gloves between each transaction which is wasteful in the extreme unless you knew for a fact each person your assisting was very likely to be sick like in a hospital situation which is where PPE is actually needed and if they didnt do that there would be same bacteria are on the outside of the gloves as would be on their hands. As long as employess are washing their hand and customers are washing their hands before going anywhere near their faces it doesn't matter if there was a glove or not. It's thinking like this that are causing shortages in PPE for medical professionals, which causes illness to them and thereby limiting the number of patients that can be cared for when it could all be avoided by following simple guidelines that have been set by the CDC.

[@AB-tv3iz]

Lord Rahl 👆🏼100% truth I don’t even think you can buy face masks of any kind anymore. Hospitals and Clinics everywhere are feeling the shortage, and they are the ones who need it the most. You wouldn’t want them to have to wear the same gloves that they wore while treating a patient with all of the symptoms of Covid-19 while they are treating you. They can infect to many people who are already sick and have a compromised immune system (that’s why there are at the hospital / clinic) it’s a scary thought but they are the ones who need the masks the most, when there is a shortage. They are having to wear the same gloves and mask a shift, it’s just crazy. So wash your hands like crazy and do your part to stop the spread

Hi! I am new to your channel, just found you guys yesterday. Loving the content! I am a single mom to 2 teens and 2 dogs. I am not a prepper by any means, but being on a limited budget since my divorce, I take full advantage of sales and coupons. So luckily, I had a lot of essentials already on hand. We are in MA and I work at a restaurant. Governor shut us down on March 16, I’m not complaining, better safe than sorry! Anyway, long story short, I’ve been trying to avoid going out at all. My last trip to Walmart was over 2 weeks ago and water was one of my main concerns. Our tap water tastes gross so I always just bought bottled water, anyhow, no water to be found in Walmart. And then I was like duh..buy a filter 😂🤦🏼‍♀️which is what I did and we’ve been loving it! I can’t believe how much $ I used to spend on plastic bottles of water 😒 All that to say 😂 when I went to Walmart over 2 weeks ago, you are right, no precautions at all 😕 however I did go to Walmart today, it was much different, all cashiers had on masks/gloves. Tape on the floor, wiping down the registers, freezer doors, etc. maybe they saw your video and decided to get their shit together 😂😂 they still didn’t have the wipes though as you walked into the store. Not that I saw anyhow 🤷‍♀️

If you think is bad just talk to the employees that are working through that.

Just image how many hands and items that the employees touch and then they touch other items when stocking. Then you touch it and buy it. You see all these other major companies giving raises to their employees during this time and Walmart is only pressuring their employees.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

OH I know.. I am in a few walmart groups.

[@RiannaNicole]

As a Walmart employee, yep. I have hand sanitizer in my locker, I had to buy my own masks, and will be finding single use gloves to use each day I work. I am considering bringing in my own wipes as well, and using them, as I don't know how many people have touched the disinfecting spray bottle since the last time it was cleaned (if at all!), let alone the fact that the little wipes dispenser can have dried out wipes, and again, idk when it was last cleaned. Edit to add: and a one time dinky bonus and having a usual, small quarterly bonus doesn't do much for us either. Typically the money goes right back into the store, because we're so tired from work, that we just shop there (plus our discount, whatever that's worth anymore...), or because other stores are closed when we get off. So they're making hand over fist, especially right now.

While alot of people think the bleach smell is clean there is a reason hospitals no longer use it. Anyone ages under 10 and over 60 can have breathing issues when its used in public. I myself get compound headaches from bleach. Businesses have industrial disinfectant that has no bleach. Hospitals use steam systems now.

Have you ever thought of doing a $200 Costco survival challenge for 14 days (because bulk is everything)? I have walked through and done a mental inventory list, would be an interesting concept for a video. Love your channel and hope you and your family stay safe 🙏

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Very interesting 🧐 idea 💡

[@jworth7203]

Our Walmart is doing a great job. They have wipes by the carts, the door people are cleaning the electric carts between customers and the checkers wear gloves. Also, they clean the little pens on the card machines after people use them. At the pharmacy, they have bottles of hand sanitizer by each register for customer use. I was pretty impressed. I’m sorry yours is being irresponsible.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Good to hear. At least one store is trying

[@erict5878]

I would suggest getting a dual fuel generator .. If power goes out the gas stations will not operate to get gas so you can have propane on hand which is easier to store.. Also suggest storing your daily rx's so you have some when ya need them. You can make your own jerky in your oven and have 5 times more for the price of in store jerky

[@truthinlove-podcast3506]

Great job. Well said very well said. Keep the videos coming but be safe please. I hope Walmart takes heed.

[@alexlyons2201]

I will say the local Walmart limits hours, and they have masks (optional) cleaning their stations after every customers purchase, they have wipes and hand sanitizer. They also wear gloves. So it might be towards your area but ours are just fine^

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Interesting 🧐 At least some Walmarts try

[@sharkerrr]

I appreciate this content, as always. I'm currently stuck on my basically empty college campus with extremely limited funds/ways to obtain food. I should be able to have maybe $20 for a store run later this week. Any advice on the best couple items to get for food?

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Desperation Mode..... Ramen 🍜..... WATER.... shoot $20 is tough man. Maybe a 6 pound jar of peanut butter “if you can”

We shop at Wal-Mart and I asked why the employees were not wearing protection and were told that they didn't want to scare the customers. We carry anti-virus wipes to wipe down the cart handles and wear latex gloves while shopping.

Went to costco today after staying home for 2 weeks , wore my mask and gloves for the first time E , very few workers had gloves on , no masks . People werent wearing any, only Me and one old man 😁i felt weird but i dont mind ! Yes costco is clean , went to walmart afterward , is like its from another planet that has no carona at all lol !

Went to Costoc at the open today. Spent $700 on food, $90 on Liquor and $100 on gas. They had none of the following items: Milk, TP, Disinfecting wipes, Beef, Chopped Beef, Bleach, most cleaning products, Nitrile Gloves, Purell, . They did have paper Towel and Hamburger for the first time in 30 days was surprising. Over night, they had installed plexi glass sheilding around all the registers. I never saw that before. It was about a 30-40 minute wait to enter the bag which they were controlling to about 5 in after 5 shoppers left. Your Costco is very well stocked.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Wow. That is just nuts 🥜

I hate to tell you but the Walmart’s in my area are cleaning and are wearing protective masks and gloves and the associates are doing a great job of keeping things clean and safe.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

No... That is good news. But it only takes a few bad apples

[@FflawedMetalhead]

Something to note - Costco's do tend to largely carry /most/ of the same stuff, but the differences between stock of essential items is wildly different in these last few weeks. I work at an older Costco in California, and my best friend works at a newer Costco 15 minutes away - My store will get in a truck or two of Kirkland water/toilet paper on the same day my BF's store will get sanitizing wipes and rice/beans. Neither of our stores have the generator in the video, but we do have a smaller one.

[@puceater2311]

[@luckycacheton7319]

@@uNPR3diCtAbL3BxJ the original comment implied that the child was in more danger than an adult. Quite clearly a child is just as apt at spreading the virus as you or I would be. Also implied that all parents to children have two parents that are off at the same time or two parents in general. How would a single parent cope with the situation. Leave kids in the car.

[@mezmez5799]

You forgot some items...protein powder. It comes in bags or jugs, and serves as a meal replacement, or you can add scoops to some meals or baked goods. Not all protein comes from the end of a gun barrel or stores well in the freezer. I'd also put chia, hemp seeds as well as lentils on the list. Chia gets thick and can be used as a sort of egg white replacement for binding. Hemp and chia are high energy, good oily foods to put in the diet. Lentils are so versatile you can do a million things with them (albeit, not every option is a tasty one), also has protein.

While at check out this guy (wearing mask and gloves, so you would think he would be more into social Distancing) stood right next to me like not even a foot away I would say, while I was trying to pay. Ignoring the lines on the floor to stay 6 ft away. And the Walmart employee said nothing to him . While on the other hand my local in town IGA store put up sneeze guard and have all employees where gloves and wiping off the counters and key pads and telling customers to wait at there marked floor lines until they are called up.
