I am in a mask mandated state, in a suburban area that is very compliant.
I have been having some work done on my house for a month. Every time a worker comes in they have a mask, and every time I tell them they don't need to wear it unless they want to at my house. Some immediately take it off and smile, others keep it on. Today I am happy to say there are 5 guys from 3 different companies in my house, 3 of whom kept the mask on in previous visits, Not one guy is wearing a mask today, all in the same room. It is a glorious site to see.
My wife thought I was annoying people by saying something every time. I thought I might be annoying them too, but kept doing it. And now I have seen these great results.
My unfortunate experience with this came with the guy who delivers Schwan's products to my home. He's been wearing a mask for months and I've told him before he doesn't have to at my home, especially as I live way out in the country and you can't see the front of my house from the nearest road. This past Monday he showed up once again with his mask and I told him he doesn't have to wear it here. He said a lot of people tell him that, but that the corporate office sends guys out to spy on the drivers to make sure they wear masks and that he's been followed several times by guys with binoculars. He then committed the 'unpardonable sin' of telling me he wears the mask for me. Maybe he was joking, but who can tell with the stupid mask and it hit me wrong because I hate the virtue signaling. My response was 'you're not wearing it on my account'. Fortunately by that time I had my groceries, so I thanked him and he left.
I've been buying from Schwan's for over 30 years and there are so many quality things I get from them that I can't get anywhere else. I'm trying to convince myself to boycott them, but I'm not making much progress on that score.
it sucks that these companies are doing this to their employees. There is one guy on the crew that stopped wearing his mask a while back, but when his boss the owner is there, he has it on.
I guess the owners are worried about getting sued. Even just telling people helps, the more people that do this the more uncomfortable the mask becomes
Thanks for saying that telling people helps because it makes the mask feel more uncomfortable. I agree and hadn't thought of that. I have made it a practice to tell parents how glad I am to see that neither they nor their kids are wearing masks.
Damn I loved the Schwans man I didn’t know they were still around
For some reason they have the best frozen corn.yes corn
Just go to Aldi. Better quality, similar selection, and you save a boatload of money. Don't forget a couple empty bags and a quarter for the cart.
I live way out in the country and no Aldi here, but thanks for the tip.
