The real reason Walmart will not apply to wear a mask in the stores
"Our goal is to keep associates with a physical confrontation in the stores."
Last week,Walmart Officially established its highly publicized policy to require all buyers to wear face masks on the 5,000 American inhabitants. However, a newly surfaced Walmart training video reveals that the retail giant does not require employees to actuallyimposeThis new rule when clients refuse to follow him.
The reason? WalmartIn the end, does not want to put its employees in any scenario that can potentially lead to violence.
"To all requirements, there are exceptions that have been established to avoid intensifying the situation and setting up our associates of damage," said a Walmart representative at CNN, who had obtained a copy of the video. "Our goal is to keep associates with a physical confrontation in the stores."
According tovideoWalmart charged his new team of "Ambassadors of Health"Employees responsible for reminding customers to wear a mask to store entries - to simply allow the store any customer who refuses wear a facial coating. When this happens, the ambassadors of health should then" inform the direction ... so that they can determine the following steps. "The video directly instructs ambassadors" never engage with a physically client or try to block their entry into the store. "
Once the customer is inside, the store manager is responsible for offering it a free mask. If the customer refuses the mask, the manager has instructions for not escorting them from the store, but to "let them continue shopping".
Of course, the decision has aroused security problems.
"Security or management must tell people that they have to wear a face mask to be served. It's no different from wearing shoes or a shirt," Stuart AppelBaum, President of the Union of the Union. Wholesale and department store, told CNN. He continued: "[if retailers] do not want customers to wear a mask in their store, they never needed. All they had been a public relations cascader."
That said, you can understand Walmart's concern, given the reports ofviolence to many of its locations on the issue of facial masks. In a recentarrest ratio, a Walmart buyer in Louisiana was arrested for assaulting a police officer with a motor vehicle after being invited to leave the store. In another case, a Walmart Buyer in Florida shot a firearm on a colleague Buyer during a mask conflict. (That we wereon the video.)
For now, we can only hope that cases like these are few and the new "requirement" of Walmart's face mask, which allows more customers wearing masks in its stores each day. And for more on Walmart, do not miss how the giant of retailLet's exit this shopping clip of all stores for good.
