For A Glimpse Into Your Dystopian Police State Future, Just Visit Walmart
Michael Snyder ~ April 7, 2020
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.

I know that all of this sounds incredibly bizarre, but it is really happening. The following is what one of my contacts reported when she visited her local Walmart...

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!"

And it is also being reported that very creepy social distancing instructions are being repeatedly broadcast over the speakers as shoppers circulate through the stores.

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 c****av***s 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 p******c 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 c****av***s. 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. v**ers 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 v***s, 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 C****-**, but we must also diligently guard our rights wherever they are threatened.

As this p******c 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 v*****e 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 v*****e factories...

Bill Gates is plugging money into building factories for seven promising c****av***s v*****e 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 c****av***s outbreak. Gates also suggested that mass gatherings might not return until we get c****av***s v*****e.

Our society is being t***sformed 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.

Odd... We never had any thing like that over here... People just wore protective masks candy gloves and kept a distance...

All sections stayed open...

Little bit of overk**l...

On the other hand, folk haven't demonstrated the greatest amount of intelligence...

I assume the security guards were located in the toilet paper aisle

It would not surprise me if soon there is a person in the ladies restroom handing out 3 sheets for each person, no matter if some women need more.

That would suck....

Stop by the book section while your shopping and see if Hilary's "What Happened?" is still marked down

It wouldn't have been like this had the president been a democratic l*****t like oh, say, Obama or Hillary Clinton. The over k**l is part of the grossly stupid Trump hating media and their hopes that this v***s will put Trump in political trouble.

TPR's!

I have seen that in other countries. Someone owns the toilet facility and charges to use it and gives out limited TP. Fortunately, I'm male and didn't need it.

You never poop?

LogicallyRight Loc: Chicago

Oh yes. And when you have diarrhea you better have a lot of change. Sold by the sheet.

Just trying to point out that these things are already happening in some poorer areas.

Unfortunately, Walmart is the only choice in some areas.
The result of Walmart driving the mom and pop businesses out.
For me, have to hold a gun to my head to shop at Walmart.
Avoid that hellhole like the plague.

My Walmart probably can’t count! More than 5 were allowed! Then they all stopped just inside, no social distance there! Glad they limited people, although some tried to buy 4 12 packs tp ! There was actually toilet paper, bread and paper towels!!!

Last time I was in WalMart(the closest one is 35 miles away) they had a lot of the book left, and marked down. Did not see any one buying it.

We got TP at Sams Club, 2 entire cases, no problem. Delivered one case to the neighbors as we had promised as we had bought a case two weeks ago. Sams Club is a member only store and we have been members for many years, so we get the extended hours business hours.

F.D.R.

That's because the Chinese are far more disciplined than Americans.

I can't even pay Bill's because no body is there.
