Although some states are rescinding their mask mandates, many stores are NOT. FRUSTRATING! But recent stories on OSHA medical waste disposal rules (not being followed!) and buildups of mask waste in oceans gave me an idea. The stores don't care that they inconvenience us/risk our health with mask rules. They are virtue signaling. What can we do?
We can make life more difficult for them BECAUSE of the masks. I wear the disposable medical kind. I have a ton of used ones. (I do re-use them, but I still have dozens, seems like all over my car and house)
How about each time we go to the store we are sure to LEAVE BEHIND a mask. On the floor. On a grocery shelf. On the produce in the vegetable aisle. (ewwww!) In other words, make it so that the store managers want the masks gone as badly as WE do. Because suddenly it's inconveniencing THEM.
We can later escalate to leaving them hanging off things. All over the place. Used ones!
They want masks? We give them MASKS. Used ones. In all the spots they don't want to see them.
Let's take back our stores!
My husband did the same at a Firehouse Subs in Eugene. The little soy bois whined at him to put the mask over his nose. He said NO. They looked terrified of him (he is 6’ 5” and a big guy. Nobody messes with him.) Seriously—the men are going to have to take the lead on this and bad asses to break this.
I’m merely 6’2”. But I’m pretty sure I could have taken the whole gaggle of faggles at either store.
And sorry about Eugene. I’ve lived in San Francisco and Seattle, but Eugene is probably more than I could handle. ?
