Author Topic: Stores in Texas not following Abbotts mask mandate (Read 1504 times)

Goldie · « **on:** March 07, 2021, 02:47:40 PM »

My sister in Texas is telling me that the main stores in Texas are snubbing Governor Abbott about the mask mandate. Walmart and HEB say they will keep the Biden mandate in place. If that's the case and Abbot is the Governor then what good does it do to open the state? If the lousy liberals still get their way. If this happens with Arizona and our rhino Governor ducey does nothing to prevent it I'm afraid i will make it a point to walk in all the stores unmasked to make a point I ain't kissing their azz. Might get kicked out but who gives a crap.

Walmarts, and others all overTexas have had the mask signs up for the better part of a year now. Its called cya. They won't say a word if you go in without one.

Keep it simple. Don’t shop there. I have not shopped there even before this.

One of the biggest things I see with the Governor Abbott's lifting of restrictions is allowing eating establishments to open up 100%. Lots of small places have gone out of business and it'll take the ones that survived months on end to recoup their losses and some will probably still not survive.

Hmmm. If you don’t give a crap, why would you make it a point?

I don't know where you shop mule but not much going on here unless you go big box stores. Kinda hard buying groceries and home supplies at 7,11. Which is all we got.

Ha,ha, I don't have to worry about that because our little dictator is still keeping us safe by masks and limited numbers in businesses. She condemns Texas over their less restrictive measures and putting our state at risk when they stray over the state line. Funny thing is when you get down to the nitty-gritty our death rate from covid exceeds the Texas rate by 25 deaths per million residents.

Abbot didn't mandate you not wear masks, he mandated that the state no longer required you to. Big difference. I have to go to Texas later today to see for a 6 month checkup. I'll see first hand what's going on up to a point. Little bitty town, no big stores, not many small ones either so it won't tell me much except for attitude about the whole mess.

Get most of what we need from a local DG, who is about to expand selling meats and produce.
I seldomly see anyone wearing a mask in there. Maybe they will get busted like the car parts
stores did? I was able to buy a new SONY DVD player there and I didn't have to go to Walmart.

They are using there own trucks now out of Lubbock, instead of the unreliable contractors.

Other than meats and fresh produce you can order anything you want or need online and have it delivered to your house. Can even get it shipped free. That's what I've been doing for about a year or more now.

I have a small grocery store about 3 miles away. The entire store isn't much more than what one aisle of a real grocery store is but it has the basic stuff and better meats than real grocery stores plus fresh produce.

What I don't get there I order online.

I might just do the store ordering stuff online like you Sir and avoid all the hubbub of going to the store for groceries. Only store then to worry about is Lowe's where unfortunately i have to get hardware stuff.

The big thing the Gov. did was allow business to open 100%. Wear a mask if you like or don't who cares. And I can see were a business owner might require people to wear a mask , for liability protection or maybe his workers have not been on the vac. list yet. But every one gets to make their own mind up in stead of dictator control. At least some of you guys live in free America.

powderman · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2021, 06:15:42 PM »

We have not ordered any groceries, except cappucino from amazon because WM is usually out and Kroger and IGA are not interested in getting it for me.
Kroger and WM have a LOT of outs, bare shelves, mainly because the ones who should be stocking are literally running to find customer call in orders. Not kidding about the running either.
With all the bare shelves how would I know what I can order?? Do you guys actually get what you order?? CHARLIE.

Graybeard · « **Reply #13 on:** March 09, 2021, 02:02:59 AM »

Yup Charlie, I really get what I order but I'm ordering from Amazon. Often especially food items are shipped from Walmart or Sams's club but sometimes from other places as well.

We all make choices. Saying (or implying) that following a crowd makes a person a sheep ignores the fact that we all follow crowds , both you and me included. We all like to believe that our crowd is somehow a better choice. The jury is still out on that.

Ok DG you keep following your crowd and I'll do the same. Is that better for you?

My Sister called me today and said she attempted to go in a HEB store ? without a mask and was refused entry. She questioned the management and was told that even though Abbott opened the state they (HEB) still had the mask and social distancing in effect and it would be strictly enforced. I say B.S. on that

Ranger99 · « **Reply #19 on:** March 10, 2021, 08:49:12 AM »

There wouldn't be any problem if
people from outside the country
would have been prevented from
entering and bringing infectious
diseases with them.
I know I know
That's too simple and common
sense of a solution

Do like I do. Drive out of your comfort zone and pay a premium to stores and settle for what is available. Don’t enrich those that suck...

I've having asthma problems this past month and I can't breath well behind a mask. Out idiot commie governor did one thing right in putting a provision in the mask rules for people with breathing problems. However the A-holes at Walmart didn't care, I was told that I couldn't shop there without a mask. I explained to the idiot assistant manager that the mask rules have a provision for people with breathing problems. I was told he didn't care and that it was Walmart policy not to let in people not wearing a mask. I told him to F himself and the Walmart executives an that I'd never spend money in their stores again. Trust me, I will keep that promise...

TONY. I use oxygen. We went to WM in corydon IND yesterday. I got an electric cart and turned my oxygen on. The greeter asked me if I needed a mask, I told him it was already hard to breathe and my heart DR told me NOT to wear a mask because it further stress my heart. All I got was enjoy your shopping Sir. CHARLIE.

Dee · « **Reply #23 on:** March 12, 2021, 02:25:15 AM »

Yep, there's some (censored word) store clerks, just like there are some (censored word) customers. Just depends on where you go.

geezerbiker · « **Reply #24 on:** March 12, 2021, 08:11:57 AM »

In this case it was a store assistant manager at the store in McMinnville, OR but all walmarts have lost me as a customer.

I tried to politely explain the situation but he would hear none of it. I don't regret (much) what I said. It'll be a cold day in hell before I go back into a walmart store.

Off Topic, But...Do You Know if the China Buffet in Mac. is Open?

geezerbiker · « **Reply #26 on:** March 12, 2021, 08:01:48 PM »

I think so. I'll check the next time I go though Mac. It used to be my favorite place to eat out until I was put on a salt restricted diet and now I don't got to restaurants more than 2 or 3 times a year. COVID really messed me up to say the least.

BTW, I know the Mongolian BBQ in Tigard is open and I'm looking forward to going sometime in the next month.

Ebay isn't Amazon, but they are pretty good about there delivering on time.
