Checking out at Ollie’s, maskless, chatting with the bandana wearing clerk. She was cool. Old man sidles within 2 feet of me, wearing a mask. I was checking out with my new tap debit card, talking about how cool this modern tech is. Clerk says, “Yeah, I heard they were talking about implanting a chip in our finger.” I cringed. Old man asks clerk if she is vaxxed and she says, “yes, sir.” Then he asks me if I am. I say, “I don’t talk about my personal medical information with strangers.” He says, “Well, you know, the vax has a chip in it, and I got vaxxed, so there’s a chip in me and I am glad for it. They can track me and that’s fine because I know the Big Guy is looking out for me!” I said, “Who? Bill Gates?” And I grabbed my bags and sauntered out.
