PERDIDO, Alabama – Walmart will be reinstating its wildly unpopular pants policy in the wake of rising COVID-19 Delta variant cases.
The retail giant announced Monday, via their Facebook page, that all customers and employees will be required to wear some form of pants, shorts or culottes at all times when inside the store.
“As the pandemic presses on, we ask that everyone respects one another by wearing any form of pants at all times when inside one of our stores. Boxer briefs, cheekies, or simply going bottomless all together will no longer be tolerated until we get this thing under control, ” said president of operations Alex Moore in a press conference Monday.
Enforcing a pants policy has been a challenge for Walmart with past iterations. CEO Chadwick Nub announced a similar policy after the 2006 Tuscaloosa Clap outbreak that was met with fierce backlash and protests, ultimately causing the company to drop the policy.
