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!
Maybe also ask for a mask each time you walk into the store so that it cost them to keep a supply. Make them supply them even if you don’t wear it.
