Smoking at entrance doors

Mar 24, 2008

WALMART complaint by Russalbrecht

Write your Review »

Why do you not have a No Smoking policy outside the entrance and exit doors? Every time I visit one of your stores I must walk through a cloud of cigarette smoke. I have a bad case of asthma and carry an emergency oxygen tank. The worst part is many of the offenders are WalMart emoloyees who have an enclosed outdoor smoking room. I have rarely seen anyone using it. Today I asked two of your employees if they had to smoke next to the doors. One of them said "yes". They were not only inconsiderate but also disrespectful to a frequent customer.

I agree about people not smoking at public enterances. If someone chooses to smoke that is absolutely their right. As a non smoker its also my right to choose not to breathe cigarette smoke. Since its impossible for a person not to breathe and smoking is optional then cigarette smokers need to make sure they aren't infringing on non smokers rights.

I'm sure people would have a problem if I stood at the enterance of a store and threw water all over the place getting everyone wet, but smokers can throw smoke all over everyone and no one is supose to mind? Sorry if my breathing is such a hassle for the smoking employees of Wal-Mart.

Thank you for Shopping at your local walmart..but as a employee and smoker. i would like to inform you, that at my store and most stores the policy is very strict. We are allowed a 15 min break..which states in the handbook..that during this time we can not walk the store, can not visit our cars, we can not leave the property, can't go behind the store without a manager--That Yellow zone out side on the ground...is as far as we can go if we are clocked in. so we don't have many places to go...my store is one of few left that has a Indoor smoke room for employees...so i don't have that problem...but i am very sorry you have this problem at your local wal-mart...but please look at the situation in the other person shoes...oh yea...Thank for shopping your local wal-mart...

Smoking is not illegal and although I have never smoked I think you people have gone wayyyy too far in taking away the rights of other free Americans to smoke. Quite frankly I think it's scary. If I don't want to be around smokers I avoid places where they smoke, it's a Walmart for Christ sake, what do you expect?

The non-smokers of the world insisted that smoking be banned inside facilities. It worked. The result is we now smoke outside. If you do not like it, contact your local authorities and tell them your great idea didn't work. We'll gladly go back into an air filtered room at the back of the facility.
