Pretty fun exchange at Safeway after shopping tonight! I walk out with a full cart and a guy walking toward the store is looking at me kinda funny, like I’m confusing him. He walks up and awkwardly says, "are we allowed to not wear masks in there now?" I go, "we never had to. It's been up to you this whole time. I don't wear one while I'm shopping and haven't for months now. I saw a few others without a mask to. Totally up to you I guess." He says, "awesome, thanks!" I watched him walk in and tuck his mask into his back pocket. As an aside, I saw more people while shopping without a mask today than I have this entire time. Still more masked than non but more non by a long shot! Anyhow, it was neat seeing someone take a red pill and immediately get excited and I wanted to share.

Is it 1997 again?
😂 there’s like 500 of them in Oregon, Washington and DC/Baltimore area. Almost 2000 total under various other banners (Albertsons, carrs, randals, jewel-osco, etc).
Haha. It's an Australian thing. Victoria used to have Safeway until they were all rebranded as Woolworths about 20 years ago.
You have Woolworths in Australia? We had them here in Michigan about 40 years ago, they disappeared. They were more of a department store here, cloths, shoes, kitchen items, toys, toiletries.
Lol they must have swapped. They are the biggest supermarket chain here next to Coles.
Oh, no kidding!
