San Diego is breeding ground for this ...I have stood my ground here in SD against the mask mandate, I’ve never wore one ... honestly I never see anyone here in San Diego where I live without one. I actually wear a little badge that I made up my self it looks official it’s a medical exempt little badge card that I wear on a lanyard! however, it’s been getting even harder with that! shamelessly I now pretend when I’m attacked and confronted at the door or once I enter.. that I can’t speak and I mouth the words “I have a medical exempt” and point to my badge ! I’m usually treated quiet kindly after that ..shameful I know but whatever it takes . I refuse to bow!,,, however this new “no shot no service” some who commented on here are correct , many elite and yuppies are pro proud of their poison shot and want to be protected from us .. and would prefer not having to ever dine etc with us commoners ! they wanted to live in “ their world “ without us before ....this gives them somewhat of a legal right .. it’s happening , Many will say it can’t hippa etc ..but we never thought the mask or vaxx situation would happen either, so if something doesn’t turn around soon it will happen, the masses here are demanding it. It’s against the law to enforce a mask in CA but stores do , they get away with it by saying that we can order our groceries online and have them delivered they’ll say that going to a restaurant and eating is a luxury, we can have the food delivered it’s horrifying!
I was stationed at Pendleton so I have a fondness for San Diego. Some of the best restaurants. I feel like in a short time, we will know the answer whether or not the vax is harmful or just a placebo. Till then, if I were you-I’d not give them my business. It seems stressful. I don’t blame you for wearing an exempt badge. That’s a good idea for many anywhere struggling with mandates, actually. But-if they’re going to be such flaming a$$holes about this, then they deserve to go out of business. I’m sure you’re not the only one who thinks it’s all BS and are offended by the overreach.
You could also ask these businesses this-if the CDC says you’re still contagious even after having the vax (and they’re for sure saying this; you still have to wear a mask after vax, still have to social distance, still can spread the disease) then what good is the vax? That’s my current question.
And over my dead body will I ever submit to the vax.
Also, I look at it like this. It’s wartime. We’re at war. I’m not sure our sacrifices of not going out to restaurants and finding unique ways of socializing is really that bad. I’m not saying this to patronize. I’m just saying-they don’t deserve our business and we can use our creativity to figure out new ways of coping. Supper clubs is one way. Meal delivery services are cool. I get one that I really like 3 days a week for two people. I can cook a good meal for someone else and enjoy a bottle of wine or whatever for a lot less money and stress than going out to eat and getting enraged. Because that’s the first thing that happens to me when I go anywhere requiring a mask. I always say loudly “ok I’ll put on my worthless commie mask” and I remain agitated the whole time. Ugh sorry this is long. I’m with you, though.
Agreed. It’s enraging we are pulling back on expenditures in general. Wish we could make it known publicly why we aren’t going to certain stores/restaurants/etc.
