Walmart Pandemic Guidelines

According to Walmart’s website, masks are still required of associates working in areas of substantial or high-risk transmission. Customers are urged to wear masks, too. The website noted:

Regarding other pandemic measures, the website also noted:

For the foreseeable future, we will continue with most of the measures currently in place – such as enhanced cleaning routines, including spraying carts after use and keeping plastic shields at our registers.

Walmart also noted on August 31 that vaccinations have been expanded to include third doses for immunocompromised individuals, and they’ll be ready to give out booster shots once the CDC and FDA recommend them.

Walmart had the Xbox Series X in stock yesterday, but just like the one earlier this week, it was exclusive to Walmart+ subscribers. We could see a restock from other major retailers, but none have confirmed stock specifically for today. Walmart's latest restock follows restocks at Amazon and Crossfit workouts at home earlier this week. Best Buy teased the Series X in its Black Friday ad, but we've yet to see the retailer restock the hard-to-find console this weekend. We've yet to what time does walmart pickup close any retailer confirm a restock for Cyber Monday.

It will be a challenge to get an Xbox Series X or Series S to put under the tree this year. However, we are here to give you the best chance you can possibly have, whether it's for you or a loved one. Ever since launching roughly a year ago, both the Series X and Series S have been quite difficult to find. Retailers don't have them readily available on shelves and online restocks tend to sell out in minutes. It probably won't get much easier to buy a Series X or Series S in the coming months due to increased demand during the holiday season. That said, it's not uncommon to see multiple Xbox Series X and Series S restocks each week at retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, and the Microsoft Store.

We've rounded up retailer listings for the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S below. We'll update this article every time a new restock is available, so you may want to bookmark this page and check back frequently. Keep in mind that it's easier to find the Series S than the Series X. The Series X and Series S are sometimes available via Xbox All Access, a purchasing agreement that lets you pay off the console and a Game Pass subscription in monthly installments ($35 for Series X, $25 for Series S).
