I've seen some great posts about people's experiences going into a big box store without a mask and defying mask mandates. This is excellent and exactly what we need.
I personally stopped wearing a mask anywhere here in Ohio about 3 or 4 months ago. I have never wanted to make the store clerk or restaurant workers' job more difficult and awkward than it already is. But I decided I was done and would be a good example.
I keep one in my pocket in case some worker verbally asks me to wear one and I need something bad enough I can't walk out.
Thing is ... I have yet to be asked.
Workers just treat me normal. Other customers are inspired or emboldened.
Last week a woman approached me asking how I deal with people harassing me for not wearing a mask in the store bc she really wants to stop wearing it. I told her the above and she seemed so relieved.
Just be a free, clear thinking person. Hold your head high. Others will follow.
In chicago I never wore a mask. Chicago is libtard central. You can imagine the looks and arguments I get in. But I still fight for all our freedoms in this corrupt shithole. Know I'm out there.
I certainly get tired of it and vote with my dollar going to stores that hassle me the least. I haven't been kicked out since the first month or so and have established my regular stores that earned my business where usually it's another shopper or an errant employee playing policeman. Usuatim able to refuse the situation but it is annoying.
I still don't though. Still the only one although I went to pick up a pizza this weekend and another guy in there waiting wasn't wearing a mask for the first time since March 2020. I almost gave him a hug.
