This one hurt me a bit, but these leftists need to learn.

Went to my local hardware store. They've been forcing the masks because only boomers work there. I've complied for a year because 1) I support small business and 2) I respect private property rights. But no more.

Walked in this morning, no mask. As soon as one of the owners spotted me:

Owner: "you still have to wear a mask in here".

Me: "you know me. You know how often I stop in here. I've complied with your mask rule for over a year. PA lifts the mask mandate in less than a month. Are you sure you want to proceed with this conversation?"

Owner: "we are still going to require masks after the mandate is lifted".

Me: "again, you know me and know how often I come in here. You've had to shorten your hours due to loss of business and now close at 5pm daily before people get off work. I can get to Lowe's in 8 minutes and they no longer require masks".

Owner: "if you want to drive to Lowe's and have a poor customer experience, that's your choice".

Me: "if you want to earn my business back let me know when you decide to stop being illogical. Or maybe you can be closed on weekends now too in order to make payroll".

Fuck 'em.
