I live in a dictator state and I’ve found a few stores that I can comfortably go into without a mask. Please add the businesses you know of too!
- Homegoods/TJ maxx/Marshall’s - simply say you have a medical condition
- Home Depot - safe, employees don’t say anything
- Target - safe, employees don’t say anything
To be clear, I have not worn one since the beginning. The gas station said "you need a mask" When I said I couldn't he said "It is store policy " and refused to sell me my stuff. I left it and walked out. Have not been back. No money from me.
I stopped at a gas station in Ohio on a road trip last year and they were straight up assholes about it. Didn't expect that in rural ohio.
