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.
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.
