Our county, Ventura California, just this week FINALLY removed the mask mandate. FREE AT LAST! (Except they are still making the kids mask, and restaurant workers, etc... I feel for them.) Tonight I picked up some food at Chipotle. They have removed their “you must wear a mask to enter” signs. Some people were maskless, but I saw two different people who... were wearing a mask over their mouth but their noses were fully exposed! I found this more bizarre than anything. The mask mandate is over, clearly they want to breathe so pulled their mask under their noses... what is this??? Are we going to see people sort of afraid to remove masks because they have become so used to them? Yet another example of the psychological damage this pay-op has done.

I'm in San Diego , I'll be honest I'm not sure if the mandate was dropped ,, I've never wore one, however, everyone is still muzzled here , I actually checked going into grocery store tonight and the mask mandate sign is still on door! They stopped asking me if I wanted one over a year ago ! The baggers used to run down the isles ready to give me one and when they realized it was me they would say oh sorry and turn around with the mask of shame in their hand ! I have seen a few people without a mask lately and I always say " it's great to see your face , stay strong ! I say all this because I thought it was supposed to be dropped ?? I'll tell you as a woman it disgust me to see these men double strapped and muzzled up In Home Depot because the depot has definitely stopped enforcing but the men shopping still wear them ! It's awful to see !
My adult son got in a fight last week with a grocery store manager, where they were slapping his hand away from the payment portal, just like some of the video clips we saw from 2020. He eventually got to buy his stuff, but they told him not to come back. Went back the next day.
They get tired of enforcing eventually, if you keep pushing. Here in LA county it's still not lifted. But some stores don't care.
So worried about germs from his mouth but happily making physical contact to his hands… what a deadly pandemic
Omg where are you ?. March or April 2020 when I knew what was going down , I made a mask exempt badge with codes and laws printed on it, it is official looking , I laminated it and wore it on a lanyard . The really hard places Trader Joe’s for one ; I would pretend I couldn’t speak and point to the badge , they would then treat me really well, they would text me as if I couldn’t hear ? And ask if I need anything , I’d text back and ask them what isle are their candles on . Local left owners of Ace hardware wouldn’t accept the badge so I said fine and made the trip to home depot for two years , they accepted it . Once early on at the depot I was in the lumber section buying pine for shelves , I asked the guy if he could help they were 12 feet long and had chains on the rows :: he said no mask I’m not helping , I said no problem and purposely started swinging the boards out with no control , other shoppers were near by , that fat F ran over fast . But for two years I went every where but cosco they told me I had to wear a shield if I couldn’t wear a mask and wouldn’t serve me if I didn’t put it on , they had them , I walked out . But in my town everyone knew I was the one who couldn’t or wouldn’t wear a mask so it was ok .. a few people are going without masks in the stores so I think it’s lifted in Cali or more people are rebelling .. I can’t believe you still have to go through that your state. Wish u had my badge , I posted the pdf on here in 2020 many on here used it,
Totally understand you have to shop , if my badge didn’t work I’d have no choice either . San Diego is not that bad compared to what you’re saying ..God I’m sorry because I know how bad it is here, I know SF and LA or nasty and Oregon and Washington I know are bad ..two of the most beautiful states are destroyed ..Orange County is so much better than San Diego their are a lot of based folks there ...Sally beauty ha ha ..been to that place in the past glad they closed
I’m in bed right now , but I’ll send from my desk top tomorrow. I can probably search my posts and find it .. I’ll look , either way I’ll send to you .. I took to local ups to have them laminate it ..and they all asked for one . I made about 100 and gave away
Damn , I’m sorry I just flashed on the mask deal ..I’ll make a mental note and pull it up and send , I posted pdf on here long ago .. I’ll find it or send another to u
Btw if you pretend you can’t speak and point to it ..it always works ..once I went into an optical place to get a vision test , for contacts because I didn’t want to go to hell hole kaiser ,,some fat blue hair tried to stop me , I pulled the I can’t speak , she got flustered and some dude came up and was cool , he told me no worries to wait for the exam In the waiting area in back .. 10 minutes later he came over to me kind of embarrassed and said ..I just realized , our dr is on video and you would need to speak to him to tell him the letters that you can read. I looked at him and said no problem I can do that ..he was shocked , he kind of smiled and said ok come on in .. totally cool , I gave him some cash when I left and said go enjoy a nice lunch !
