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.

Where I live it's a polar opposite situation. I went to the local grocery store and I would estimate 90% of these idiots were wearing a mask. The door says please wear a mask and of course I say please go fuck off to that but these sheep willfully comply with out question. If you put a sign on the door that says "due to covid-19 we request that you not wear pants while in the store" I would say without even joking you would get people who would comply.
You're dead on. People are following direction WAY too blindly without even questioning it. It's crazy. Where I'm at and the store I was shopping in, there's a sign at the door that says, "due to local mandate masks are required" and similarly 90+% of the people are wearing them. Slowly though I can see more and more people ignoring it.
I remember when the door sticker showed the store hours, now it's so covered in bullshit propaganda I completely ignore anything doors say.
No joke!
