I was just there and the self checkouts were not accepting cash. I don't know if it was too early or what but if this is the "new norm", it gives me another reason for WalMart to KMA.

Go ahead and stand before a judge and give them the BS about your Constitutional Rights.
All rights have amendments, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO CAUSE INJURY TO OTHERS
No constitutional freedoms are being violated when a company mandates masks in their stores. Your constitutional freedoms end on someone else's property.

People handle bills and change and who knows what is on it. For now ok with using cc for everything but when this is over back to use real money.

Who and what army are going to stop someone from saying "you and what army are gonna stop me?" and either going in without one, or taking it off as soon as they get inside the doors?

It is NOT enforceable.
Costco has managed to enforce it...

Well, not everyone has credit or debit cards. Crazy, I know. But it's true. Some people use cash exclusively. I have one credit card. I don't have a debit card. If I need cash, I have to either walk into my bank and withdraw it, or I can use my ATM card - which does -not- work as a debit card, at an ATM machine.

I do use cash more often than not. I don't like debt, even if I know I can pay it off in full when the bill comes.

Not being able to go in "that" line to check out of Walmart is an inconvenience. But so is not having my own personal chef, and a maid, and a driver for my car, and my own indoor climate-controlled pool and jacuzzi.

Somehow - I'll endure this minor inconvenience. Le sigh.

How would we know since there are so many non-mask wearers?

If you want to get all garbed up, have at it, but don’t ever remove it while you’re in public for the rest of your life and don’t try to force others to follow. The msm has brainwashed the sheeple and they’re following right in line.
Why not wear it? Talk about being brainwashed, you are refusing to perform a simple activity which if done by all would reduce transmission and speed up the recovery to normal. But you do the msm garbage.

Even in small businesses, it's risky to mandate it (do a google search on "Karen dentist mask").

The best anyone can really expect is for employees to set the example, to REMIND customers that masks are strongly encouraged, pointing out where they can buy the masks right in the store for the next time they come in, and reminding the customers that they're going down the wrong way on a one-way aisle.

As an employee, I'm not interested in playing mask or aisle police. But I have no problem reminding them that complying with the guidelines is appreciated and encouraged, and thanking my customers who DO comply.

And if you see any actual Karens (not just people who don't comply but people who make a HUGE deal about their refusal to comply) - there's always cell phone cameras and twitter.
Who has a larger customer base than WalMart? No other retailer. This should have been done three months ago with all big box stores and any indoor store. Lives would have been saved and the coronavirus, for the most part, put to bed. Just my humble opinion.

Cost Co stopped people from entering without a mask, so all stores can do it.
It’s private property so the argument about violating rights is not applicable.

do the research. Two people not wearing masks - high chance to catch it if one person has it. One person of the two - medium chance to spread. Both wearing - Low chance to spread. Don't be an a......

It is NOT enforceable.
The anti-maskers, to be consistant, need to take sledge hammers to ALL the speed bumps in America and rip down ALL the speed limits signs and refuse to pay taxes. The point is that it takes some time, but what is best for ALL of society eventually WINS out. The same will happen to single payer healthcare eventually in America. It is too good to continually resist.
