I used to shop at Albertsons. A little over a year ago, I walked in without a mask. A huge, lumpy woman who could barely catch her breath was sitting near the shopping carts with a walkie talkie. She sheepishly waved hello at me and welcomed me.

A few minutes later, while I was shopping, aanother woman approached me with a walkie talkie in hand. She claimed to be the manager, and asked if I had a mask. I said "no." She proceeded to tell me I needed a mask to shop there. I put down the basket I was holding and told her that I'd take my business elsewhere.

As I was leaving the store, I passed the fat woman on the way out. She was still looking terminal, struggling to sit in a small chair by the door. In the most annoying, smug tone I've ever heard, she said "Have a nice day." I wanted to cut that shit-eating grin off of her face.
