The news was announced yesterday afternoon, to be effective May 1, which is today. I was thrilled when I set out to shop at Publix this morning hoping to see maskless people in the store. Alas, all the staff were still masked and all the shoppers I encountered were masked. I asked the woman packing my groceries why she was still masked and she said they’re still required to mask for now.
What’s with that Publix? Still waiting for someone to give you “permission” to let your employees breathe freely? Glad I haven’t used a shield or mask in months. Y’all need to get a clue! We’re DONE with masking.
I was done with masking before it started.never worn one and never will
Me either, not once!
In GA. I haven’t worn a mask in Publix/Kroger, bar, restaurant, small biz in 10 months. Costco is the only one and I have it half on when I walk in and drop it under my chin for the duration. They fucked around and are about to find out. I will cancel them if they say anything. They know they are in trouble.
Same here. Vote with my wallet if anyone makes an issue. I used to wear earbuds to pretend I didn't hear them, but now I just smile and say no thanks if I'm offered a mask. Walked into FedEx the other day and the soychild behind the counter jumped back a few feet as I approached. Both sad and mildly amusing. Went about my business with a smile.
It's not that hard - stand your ground and inspire others to do the same!
Fuck Kemp.... but I am glad these covid restrictions are releasing
Just now waiting on DeWine in Ohio... seriously
I’ve been waiting on whitmer ? our mask mandate is imposed by the health dept and is set to expire 5/24. We will see.
Quite a few maskless folks in my Publix for the duration ... use the self-checkout for less harassment!
NH here, governor here dropped the mask mandate a couple weeks ago, all the employees at all the stores I have been to since are still fully masked up and many customers too.
Apparently the Massachusetts liberalism infection has spread and taken deep roots.
I work at Publix and I am so fucking fed up with these goddamn face diapers I am ready to pop a gasket...
Our local COUNTY mask order is going to expire soon and I really want to tell Publix to fucking shove it!!!!!! They say that the company is not gonna let us take the masks off when the order expires but I HAVE NO DESIRE TO GIVE MY JOB THAT AMOUNT OF CONTROL OVER ME.
But I also dunno wtf I will do for money if they fire me :s and my girl will surely be pissed.... She also works at Publix... I am considering coordinating a fucking Mask Rebellion. Can we get a .win? Publix.win or just Stores.win???
Find a new job now then walk out if they keep their shit up.
Trying. I gotta find $15+ an hour with 40 hours a week just to replace the income, but I'm gunning for management and I might get 40k+....
