I live in a red state but a very blue area. Just got some snacks and stuff and as I'm standing in line, this guy is just grilling me from the other line parallel to me.

He starts speaking loudly to the person behind him who was not with him that "he should be a mask. Why do they let them in here? Someone should make him wear it". The person shrugged and didn't respond. I didn't say anything.

He kept staring at me and speaking louder and louder and we both got the our respective registers at the same time. At this point, he begins grilling the cashier, a young girl, about their lack of mask enforcement. She says there's nothing she can do about it and ignores the rest of his ramblings.

This faggot decides to get my attention and directly yells "where's you're fucking mask?". I decided not to respond as it was obvious the crowd was not going to back him up as I suspect he might have thought.

He ran his mouth some more and left. He was just ahead of me on the way out. The managers were called in and they stood at the exit of the registers thinking something was gonna pop off but I smiled at them and walked out.

As I left, he said something under his breath about me which I couldn't understand but I snapped.

I don't know why I snapped but this little prick just needed to be put in his place.

So I walked over to his car and told him if he's got something to say, say it now. Of course, he pussed out immediately and began bargaining with me about safety.

I calmly told him that if he ever sees me and runs his mouth again that his jaw would be hanging loose from his face.

I used to get into it with people publicly who tried to Karen me but too many phones and faggots out there who will make you look like the Asshole.

I think it's time to deal with these types on a one on one manner where you calmly let them know how real things can get.
