However, Walmart employees located in stores, distribution facilities and warehouses will also be required to wear masks on the job in areas with high levels of COVID-19 infections regardless of their personal vaccination status, The AP added. Walmart is also providing its employees a cash incentive to get vaccinated. Employees who work in stores, clubs, and other facilities will receive $150 if they get the vaccine, according to The AP.
Previously, the cash incentive was $75, and those who have already been vaccinated under that incentive structure will see an additional $75 added to their paycheck on Aug. 19, The AP reported.
Walmart will also be encouraging patrons in areas with high levels of COVID-19 community spread to wear masks inside their stores, and will have employees, dubbed health ambassadors, hand out masks at store entrances to patrons who do not have masks, according to The AP.

Every week or two I end up creating a shopping list of things that I need to purchase for my house. I m talking everything from oatmeal to lightbulbs. I then have to make a decision, which store do I go to first? Albertson s or Home Depot. How s about Costco - nope that s too much volume and I certainly don t need a 6 months supply of oatmeal at my humble abode since I live alone and most likely that 6 month supply would turn into a years worth of shelve space in my pantry. Walmart to the rescue. Think about it, the Walmart super center is the one stop shop, I can get oatmeal, lightbulbs, and a fishing pole if I need too. I can buy a rug for the living room and a trampoline for the backyard. My point is that Walmart is the go to for many of us and we should be aware that with all the news around the Delta variant the mask policies are changing at some Walmart s.
