I have never put on a mask since all this started. Ever. I live in a pretty conservative town in a blue state. Not a single store in town has ever hassled me much about masks. So yeah, getting told I wasn't welcome at a store over a mask was a bit of a shock. First time I've been "kicked out" ever.
Not gonna lie, it bothered way more than I thought it would. Haven't been able to stop replaying the incident in my head since. I had just been able to build up enough confidence knowing I could walk into any store without fear of being humiliated. That's gone now. How do you all manage this kinda stuff? I've written corporate a message, but I'm pretty sure I'll just get a canned response. This thing has got me BUMMED out, man. Like.. bad. Makes me want to never leave the house again.
Anyway, sorry for the weird post but I don't really have many friends or family to talk to about this stuff. Thanks for reading.
I understand completely. I had an "incident" at a local store and I was very upset afterwards. What really made me the most upset was how sad it is to me that out of a hundred people in the Costco, I was the only one who wasn't "compliant". What we need is for everyone to become non-compliant, but for that to happen, people need to understand how big a fraud the whole mask thing is.
Yeah, this is exactly how I feel. I have family that are against masks but still wear them because of the hassle. I don't get that.. at all.
