Beginning today shoppers who are fully vaccinated will no longer be required to wear a mask. Those who are not fully vaccinated are still required to wear a mask.
Walden Galleria says masks are still strongly encouraged for all guests as individual venue rules may differ. We are very pleased that the State of New York and the surrounding region continue to make progress rebounding from the pandemic. Hats off to all those who have done their part in bringing the difficulties of the past 15 months closer to an end and to all of our guests who have been fully vaccinated, a release says.
As part of its Making Ends Meet survey, the CFPB issued a
report last week on how consumers use payday, auto title, and pawn loans (“alternative financial services” or “AFS”) and the other sources of credit available to them. Consumers surveyed include only those with a traditional credit record and the sampling focused on consumers with lower credit scores, recent credit delinquencies, or living in rural areas.
Many consumers who obtained an AFS product in 2019 were found to still be using AFS products in 2020. The 2019 survey asked consumers whether they had obtained an AFS product within the previous 6 months and found the following use rates: 4.4% for payday loans (defined as “a loan that you must repay, make a payment on, or rollover on your next payday”), 2% for auto title loans and 2.5% for pawn loans. Of those who used an AFS product in the past six months, at the time of the survey 63% still owed on a payday loan, 83% still owned on an auto title loan and 73%
