I did my weekly grocery shopping today at a large chain store, that has the usual mask signs in front. I have been going there pretty much every week, and starting a couple months ago, just wore my mask over my mouth. Nobody said anything about that. Today, since I'm reading about others doing it, I went maskless! I didn't receive any flack, and didn't notice any looks on people's faces (but I was just shopping as usual, and didn't make an effort to observe the response). It was great and I encourage ANYONE who is not afraid of the virus to do it. (now I do have gray hair and a gray beard, so maybe they assumed I got the shot :) )

Welcome to the club.
If you CAN remove your mask... then do it.
If you CAN'T... then use your mask to awaken people. Print easily readable messages on your mask like "Covid vaccines are KILLING PEOPLE." or "Masks Cause Sinus Infections".
good for you, especially in a state like NY?. and after you do it the first time, it gets easier. however, I also find it kind of scary, to be the only one without a mask...why can't they see what we see?
why are they SO different?
like the twilight zone...
This is why I carry some printed articles with me about the dangers of wearing face masks. I've never handed any out because no one says anything. If you are still wearing a mask, you are enabling this to go forward. Yes, I must wear one at times for work, but when you're on your own time, take it off. All anyone will do is tell you to put one on. And just maybe others will take theirs off.
I have gone maskless as well. I have not been harassed and nobody really pays much attention. I am seeing more and more people without theirs. Of course I still see the double maskers and the masked drivers, but it seems I am seeing less of them and more people without masks. I have even seen one other person look at me in the store and pull theirs off! It feels to me that I need to set an example to others. If I can have a positive influence over just 1 person I will feel successful. Together we can make a difference.
Way to go!
Anyone know how much it costs the grocery stores to bring the groceries to your car and load them in? Do they lose money offing this service? How can we use this to help them to drop mandatory masks.
