We just have to say no.
Ive been scared this whole time because i dont want to have services denied to me or have people yell at me. But im over this.
Ive decided that if im confronted, im just gonna say no. If they persist, ill say i feel suffocated and they make me cry. If they continue....im gonna cry....while looking them dead in the eye. I have this ability...it is genuine.
Then, the fantasy is everyone takes them off and we all clap.
I think the trick is to walk in with confidence. Sheep can sense when they are in the presence of lion and usually won't pick a fight. I've only had 1 confrontation since March and she regretted it. I do get nasty looks but I just smile and keep shopping. Put in some ear buds while you shop and you will be oblivious to any comments and when possible use the self check. If anyone asks you about wearing a mask tell them that you prefer that they take their mask off but here you are minding your own business or i forgive you for judging me and walk away. There's no argument after that one!
