Walmart Bans Sale of Vegetable Seeds as “Non-Essential,” As Stores Seal Aisles to Prevent “Unnecessary Roaming”

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 coronavirus 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.”

A photo taken by Chicopee Police shows a Walmart aisle sealed off with yellow rope and signs informing customers of the closure.



In Vermont, Walmart, Target and Costco stores statewide also agreed to block off items from customers, including everything “from clothing, toys, electronics and jewelry to paint, gardening and sports equipment,” according to Today.com.

A photo circulating on social media showed vegetable seeds intended for planting were also off-limits to customers in Vermont stores.

Our Florida Walmart closed off the garden center...non-essential they said.
Walmart had some plants at the food entrance so that was a nice welcome.

This is spring planting time for vegetables and herbs. Those of us who grow our own in the summer will be more dependent on store bought. Is that really helpful?

The British. Just stupid. They couldn't even defeat a few rogue colonists armed with muskets. And elected a Muslim Mayor to run London. Not much coming out of England makes them look good.

I tried to order my groceries on the app so I could avoid going in the store, there is a 7 day wait at Both Salisbury's and Pocomoke to pick up orders.

Walmart is part of the globalist communist agenda.
Sam was 33rd Degree, so you know other Board Members are as well
The business model itself is based solely on selling cheap products from China.
Period.

And Americans have loved it for decades to the detriment of the US economy and jobs

Public Education was very effective at mind controlling the US population
We are sheep
