Today I walked into the mega grocery store where I’ve been maskless shopping for 10 years. They hunted me down an aisle and told me to leave. I wanted to buy just one thing and my friend put on her mask and tried to check out. The “Karen” told us bc we didn’t put on the mask in the aisle when she told us to we couldn’t buy anything. Ok, we should’ve just left but I lost my shit. I raised my voice, swore, and attracted attention. I yelled Fuck You Mega Grocery Mart on my way out. This was woman to woman bad behavior so I don’t think I scared anyone.
Not my proudest moment. I called corporate and announced my permanent boycott politely but Let’s be real; they don’t care. I’m losing everywhere I shop to mask requirements. No one sees it my way. I have a very small niche of places I can go now.
If there is a mark of the beast that literally restricts you. This is what it will be like. In summer, I am able to grow much food and don’t need the mega mart but this time of year I need those a holes. Thank God Aldi still lets me in.
Thanks for listening.
I would have acted the same way. Being a human capable of independent, critical thought is nothing to be ashamed of Ma'am. It is frustrating beyond all belief that people can just go along with things, not educate themselves with objective, scientific study. As soon as all this nonsense started here in March, the first thing I did was went outside, hooked up my tillage equipment and tilled. Things were going well until I lost quite a bit to fungus and salt burn from a tropical storm. It's alright though as I found out there was a HUGE glass shortage. Couldn't get pallets of half gallons anywhere until October, too late. So I did what I could and still have plenty. Most of the time I honestly just think about making a mockery of the stupidity. Throw on my spray suit, booties and rebreather and walk around. I think even today it will draw a few looks. Nothing short of a positive pressure suit can stem the transmission, doesn't work out for immunology however. Stay safe out there.
I would love to show their stupidity by wearing a brown paper bag that says Remained Terrified.
People who are convinced that masks are effective and clamor for the compliance of others should further exert their authority by wearing a white paper hat rolled up into a cone.
Great moniker. LOL.
Went to bestbuy and was told I could shop maskless but they couldn't provide service for me...wtf?! Lol, boycott. Continue to go maskless, never give in. Stay strong!
Tell them you suffer from claustrophobia and that by putting on a mask makes you manic and that you can't wear a mask for health and safety reasons.
Another approach is that you have a "disability" and that by denying you service they are violating your Civil Rights. Then breakout into a chorus of "We Shall Overcome".
Those arguements don't work. Even Nevada removed the exemption my gym threw me out. Businesses need to stand up or when this is over they should be made to continue with the rules for 2 years. While companies thT start up steal Ll their clients by offering maskless Accommodations. So far I was denied service at smith's, home depot and one fSt food joint. Soon it will end.
You are not alone.
What state are you in? Sometimes it's just the employees being asinine and not the chain. Sometimes you can go to another store and get by just fine. At any rate, support small businesses as much as possible. Farmer's markets, local butcher shops, etc. They will likely be more lenient.
I’m in Wisconsin. I do go to stores that put up with it but every week there are less of them.
Try that body paint, paint a mask on your face. That stuff looks pretty realistic.
As much as liveth in you live peaceably with all men. This will end.
I've lost nearly a dozen friends and relatives to this virus - wear a fucking mask for god's sake.
Sorry for your loss but a mask doesn't afford any significant protection. That's why people working in the Wuhan lab don't wear ordinary masks. Think about it.
Be angry at those who are blocking the use of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine for early use, not those who want to avoid the risk of pneumonia by not wearing a crappy mask.
Back in January, I contracted the C-virus and spent a fairly unpleasant week feeling achy and feverish. I couldn't taste anything. At the time (and still) I was already taking daily zinc, D3, K2 and magnesium. I had no significant breathing problems and I didn't die, although I'm close to 70.
People who are susceptible should protect themselves. Don't expect everyone else to wear masks, because it won't help.
By the way, I made my own mask to avoid confrontations. It consists of a piece of fly-screen mesh covering a piece of thin, black, open-cell foam of the type they use to cover the front of loudspeaker cabinets. It looks realistic and doesn't restrict my breathing at all.

You are either a fucking bold faced liar or proof making are useless. Have a nice day Karen.
