We still have mask mandates in Ohio but I never wear one unless I am expressly asked by someone whose Job requires them to ask. Went to Home Depot today and it was packed and everyone was masked up...except me. No one said a word to me about the mask!
Q - What’s the worst that can happen if you don’t wear a mask? A - someone may ask you to put one on. That’s it! Unless you are deathly afraid of Covid, stop being afraid to stand up for yourself a little. If you can’t stand up for yourself about a little mask, when will you?
So they ask you to put a mask on. Simply decline.
Nothing happens.
The worst that will happen is they will ask you to leave.
You can either stay and deal with the cops if they are called (typically nothing will happen) or you can just leave and take your business elsewhere.
I recently went to an auto parts store. They told me to wear a mask, I declined. They said it was their policy, I explained that's not law nor does it override US law.
They offered to help me if I stood outside. I told them no and left.
Went to my neighbor and bought the stuff I needed for an insanely more reasonable price. I think I saved $30 from that ordeal, plus I was able to help a small and local business instead of a bigger chain store.
