It feels like such defeat. I got kicked out of one grocery store yesterday and two this morning. We can't just eat out every meal.
I've been shopping mask free since February. But now all the grocery stores went obnoxious. Likely some bored local government bureaucrat decided to write some fines.
I thought my area would get out of covid soon, but really sometimes you just have to move.
OK... you tried the ALL or NONE approach.
Now do the 1/2 way approach to get what you want and redpill people. Take a mask, cut around the edges so it's nothing but a fabric border. Insert and sew fabric loose-woven mesh for that middle.
Now, you're walking around with a loose-woven mesh mask. They can't say anything, because you ARE wearing a mask, but you can still breathe normally too.

? I bought one of these for $5. Wore it when out with hubby cause he doesn’t want problems. He always wears one. Went into Walmart, no mask on to get glasses. 2 85yr old women behind the “rope” in optical Dept. told me “You have to put on a mask to come in here”. Pulled out my fishnet mask and put it on. They said “That’s not an effective mask you can breathe through it!” I said “Looks like you are breathing thru yours so what’s the difference ?” A lady already in the optical Dept with her mask looked at me and said “You’re right. If they can breathe so can you. Your mask is ok” Old ladies were ready to call security cause another lady took her mask off! They were so bewildered and scared I just said “Don’t faint! I’ll come back when you’re not working “! The lack of brains in some people but 2 other people woke up so it made my day! Walmart’s Optical Dept. is privately owned. Not a art of Walmart.
I have a mask with semi see-thru fabric, so I can breath. I just hate getting it out.
