The employees got to only experience about a month without the masks and now they have to put them back on again. In my area when they got to free their face I saw only 1 employee still wearing a mask, and I saw so many huge smiles I was compelled to tell an employee congratulations for finally getting to have a free face and she was full of glee when she thanked me for that. I can only imagine how many of those employees have decided it's time to quit. I bet a bunch of them are. At my store at least. Also, they'll never get my business again. I'm currently filling my online cart from a local ranch where I can get some meat to fill my freezer. Screw costco. I only went there for the cheep prices on grassfed meats and cheese. I don't buy "normal" groceries anyway.
