I just got back from a grocery trip to H-E-B. Since I live in Austin, it's the only place that I can still go to shop without a mask. I used to do all of my shopping at Sprouts, since it's closest to my house, but then they started having employees chase me down to give me a mask to wear, else I be kicked from the store.
If the salty faggots on the Austin subreddit are to be believed, then the reason that H-E-B doesn't enforce their stated mask policy is because they had some incidents of customers becoming violent when confronted to put on a mask. So it became store policy to ignore maskless individuals as a matter of team safety or something.
I have never once been forced to defend or justify my choice to not wear a mask inside H-E-B. Some of the employees are even still quite helpful. And so I say, THANK YOU to the warriors of freedom who came before me, for allowing me to live my life in peace.
Mask free in Washington State everywhere I go. Told a store attendant why the other day and she removed hers. She now always sports it under her chin.
I also live in WA state. Everyone still requires a mask. Just shopped at Fred Meyer (Kroger) today, no mask. Nobody said a thing. From there went to Big 5 Sports, refused to wear a mask. Told the lady I had CS (common sense), but she didn't ask so I didn't tell her what it meant. She then did my shopping for me while I waited outside. I thought that was awesome!
Great to hear! In all of my shopping trips only one rude comment. Everyone else smiles, says Hi, shakes my hand etc. I think most people are craving to see people stand up against this and wish they were brave enough. WWG1WGA!
