I know there are loads of you going maskless since the beginning but please let me share a win for me in my neighborhood. I live LA. Since March 2020 I have never seen anyone INSIDE a business without a mask. Unless in a restaurant lately.
Since I heard TJs was allowing people to enter without masks I saw that no one was doing it. The fear of being attacked and videoed and shamed it quite real here. Plus I heard CA won’t be lifting anything until June 15.
That all said...Yesterday I did it.
I grabbed a cart, got a spritz of hand sanitizer (which I never do), and shopped. My heart was pounding out of my chest, but it was my cheeks that were hurting me the most because I was trying to suppress the smile on my face the whole time.
I shopped for 15mins. Leaning across people, chatting with the cashier, smiling at everyone. It was fucking amazing! I was the only one inside the grocery store without a mask, living like a normal person while everyone else still chooses to live in their dystopian sick world.
I can’t wait to do it again!
PS. The best part was this rocker dude in an anarchy shirt that said Fuck the (something) on it was in line with his mask under his nose. The look in his eyes when I smiled at him was perfection.
You a real one OP!!!
And I love how you notes that the dude w a “fuck the system” shirt on was wearing a mask!!! Lmao that’s something that boggles my mind; how all these “anti-system” youths continue to fall in line!
Keep spreading the love man!
My friend claims she is an anarchist punk but wears a mask. Im more anacrchy than she is, only wore them a handful of times in commie CA in the beginning. Never got bothered when I was maskless in CA. Moved out though,thank God, Oi oi.
I was received an internship in LA March 1st 2020. Signed a lease March 3rd. The city was shut down a week later. Made my money doing grocery delivery with an app called Shipt
Got scolded multiple times for not wearing gloves when I was grocery shopping. I remember one time a lady said to me, “you know the CDC requires gloves when shopping. I don’t know why people are wearing masks though. The CDC has said they are not effective”.
Always thought that was funny. Anyways, broke the lease last June and couldn’t be happier I moved away from that liberal shit show of a city
Moving from socal was the best decision my family made!
