This past week Walmart placed green arrows on their store floors to help people know which way shop while in their stores. This is just one of the many things Walmart is doing to help encourage social distancing.

The one-way aisles are designed to increase social distancing and give customers more space on each aisle.
You will find green “Shop This Way” floor decals that indicate the entrances to each aisle.
Similarly, you will find red “Do Not Shop This Way” decals to tell opposing traffic not to enter the aisle.
I predict 3 days before this becomes an internet meme.
Walmart Says They Are Concerned About Some Behaviors In Stores
Walmart wants patrons to know that they appreciate their customers that follow healthcare advice on social distancing and safety.

Which is why we’re all glad they closed the water fountains.

“We always want people to feel welcome at Walmart, and we know that in ordinary times a store is a gathering place for members of a community to connect and socialize. We look forward to the time when that is again the case; however, we now want to prioritize health and safety by encouraging customers to do their shopping at a distance from others, then head home.”
“As the COVID-19 situation continues to develop, our leaders and operations teams will continue to listen to advice from medical experts, associates and customers, and consider how we can best serve people while helping slow the spread of the virus. The health and safety of our associates and customers is what matters the most.”
