I know, it drives me crazy as well. It is so obvious. I fathom that they must truly be hypnotized. Me and my girl test people all the time on this idea that most are hypnotized... We give them vocal suggestions in smooth subtle tones and they comply. I tell checkout clerks "Those are free" about things with no barcode, and they just say "Ok" and throw it in the bag. My Girl likes to get strangers talking, I will walk up to see what they are talking about and these people she just met are spewing out their private medical information, things about their families, things about where they work. It is crazy, I'd say over 90% of the people we interact with are in a constant state of suggestive, mind numbed, hypnosis. We are still searching for the trigger phrases to snap them out of it. Some of our friends are now drones, ever since this damndemic started.
