I remember when mask mandates were legally forced upon us in February.
I was disgusted, so on the first day of the lockdown, I went for a walk through my local shopping mall without a mask. People were staring at me like I was a freak. I passed two security guards on patrol (one wearing his mask on his chin) and neither confronted me.
I attempted to walk into a grocery store and was stopped at the entrance and told I wasn't allowed in without a mask... so I left.
I returned the next day and did the same thing, except I saw two other people who weren't wearing masks and when I attempted to enter a different grocery store, I was offered a mask at the entrance and I just politely said, "no thank you" and entered the store and did some shopping without fuss. I visited the other grocery store and was confronted again at the entrance and asked, "do you have a mask?". I answered, "no" on the way in and did some more shopping. The staff were friendly and polite.
Those few people who also refused to wear a mask, gave me strength and resolve.
Within a few days, only half the customers were wearing masks and by the end of the week, the staff at the entrances were gone and only 1/3 of the people were wearing masks.
This is how we win.

Such a little thing can make a huge difference.
