I live a town over from Fairhope, just a few minutes away. In our County people genreally don't get upset if you don't wear a mask, I don't.
However, I just drove about 45 minutes across town to another County (city area, people from around here will know where I'm talking about) for a specialty doctors apt. to see if I have Meniere's Disease.
Walked in without a mask, and at check in the young lady asked nicely if I had a mask, I said I prefer not to wear one, the bitch next to her said you Have to put one on, didn't you see the 5 signs on your way in here? I said yeah I did, but I can't breathe with it on and you know it doesn't help stop anything right? She said I can't breathe in them either but you have to put one on. So, I put on one over my mouth only (Only because I would have like to see this doctor to find out for sure if I had Meniere's. she may have been able to help me) and continued to speak to the young lady who was suppose to be checking me in, the bitch interrupted us speaking Again to say .. "over your nose". I said no and she said you have to, I said no I don't, looked back at the nice young lady who was checking me in and said "well I guess I have to cancel my apt then". She seemed surprised and looked at the bitch next to her who shook her head yes, and canceled my apt. I took my mask off in front of them and walked out. Pissed me off!!
When I walked out my husband who drove me was walking in (drove me because I don't know that area well and I never know when I may have vertigo (which this morning my head felt like it was coming on), when I told him what happened he was pissed with me, probably that I didn't just pull my damn mask up until I saw the doctor, he didn't say actually say that but I knew that was what he was thinking. This has been a long year of no one knew for sure if I have Meniere's or not but every doctor says it, but are not qualified to actually diagnose me with it, even though I'm pretty sure I have it. The thing is I also have Vestibular Migraines (basically migraines w/vertigo), and it is possible to have both, but they are similar. I've had Vestibular Migraines for over 15 yrs, but in the last year I've all of a sudden had one ear that feels "full" even though nothing is wrong with it, and lose hearing in it when it's like that & slowly losing little bit of hearing in it I think each time it happens. The fullness feeling eventually goes away but I will end up with some horrible vertigo before it goes away. And that's why about 3 or 4 docs have mentioned Meniere's.
In hind sight I should have ignored the bitch and asked the young lady to ask the doctor if she wanted to cancel my apt if I didn't wear the mask, and wait outside for a response. But if you had seen that bitch in there talking down to me like I was some teenage kid who broke the law. I had to bite my tongue not to tell her to kiss my ass and shock them all. That woman was young enough to be my child, and for her to be such a bitch, sorry just not taking it by anyone anymore. And it was not so much what she said but How she said it, is what pissed me off the most!
I will look for a doctor in my County and if not maybe I'll go to Pensacola. All the docs I've seen in my County say take it off when I get into the office, in the waiting room normally just wear it under my nose or chin, no issues, until I went to the other County (more city area, enough said, brainwashed idiots).
