Comparing Walmart with WDW

Considering a COVID test is done UP THE NOSE, you'd think people would understand that their nose needs to be covered too.
For the people that don't understand the basic points of masking, the swab test is almost a moot exercise because the swab in their nose reaches in vain towards an empty cavity where their brain is supposed to be.
 
Walmart has always been considered essential, which has made it the most popular argument for people who didn't think the things they wanted to do should be prohibited. "Why can I go to Walmart, but not the gym?" "Why can I go to Walmart, but not get my hair cut?" "Why can I go to Walmart, but not eat in a restaurant?" "Why can I go to Walmart, but not a concert or indoor sporting event?" Why can I go to Walmart, but not WDW?" They've also used the grocery store to a lesser extent. The comparisons have never made sense, because we need groceries to live. None of the other stuff is essential to life. It's simply an attempt to justify what people want to do.

Except for all those people who rely on those “non-essential” jobs to pay their bills.
 
Walmart:

"Santa", "The Easter Bunny", and "Kinda-Sorta Leprechaun Redhead Guy in a Green Suit" appear for the holidays, but compared to Disney there's half the costume quality and a quarter of the volume of people rushing to take photo ops.

There's no magical experience and you are not often treated as a Guest. In fact, many times I've seen Walmart employees put themselves first. Customers are in their way!

There's a "Club 33", but it's the break room where the receiving staff hit their flasks. Cheaper to get into, but cheaper rewards.
 

That has absolutely nothing to do with the topic of this thread. Your topic has been discussed many times here. Maybe, find one of those threads or start you own.

You mentioned why people want to know why they can’t do other things but can do Walmart. You portrayed it as a way for people to justify what they want to do as if those things aren’t essential. Maybe hit “ignore” under my name.

Most of the people asking aren't the people who are relying on those places for their income. They are just mad because they can't go to the gym, to the bar, get their haircut, etc.
 
They let everyone into Walmart and WDW you have to pay to get in? Different kind of audience.
This! The ppl I tend to come in contact with at Walmart are VERY different than what I see in wdw. Plus ppl say you spend 30-60 min at Walmart. But I spend that much time at least once a week if not more. I don’t go to wdw once a week.

But I get it. You justify others going to work so you don’t have to. Maybe hit “ignore” under my name.
Most things aren't essential to life. No one has to have a haircut, go to a concert or go on vacation to live. If it was only about making sure everyone could pay their bills, people could have donated money to all the service providers they would normally use. Many also offered gift cards. More importantly people should be encouraging the Federal government to make sure everyone in this country is provided for, until this pandemic is over. That could be done without risking lives, but too many people don't want their money to go toward anything they don't benefit from. All that said, this still has nothing to do with the topic of the thread.

This horse is dead.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Donate/stimulus...the people who are essential can just go to work and the rest can just get paid to sit at home. This is a wet dream come true for many of you.

So you aren't really concerned about people who aren't working, you just don't want anyone sitting at home & getting paid?

All PEOPLE are essential. That is kind of the whole point. It is certain business sectors that aren't essential.

Unless they are actually essential...then they’re just expendable. If they get sick then they get sick. Oh well.
 
Do you even know what you are saying any more? Keeping people from getting sick (from COVID) is the whole point of keeping certain business sectors closed or open with modifications.

Curbside and online ordering of Christmas presents require actual people so you can claim how “safe” and “responsible” you’re being.
