I stopped wearing masks at Publix months ago. No one says anything to me- Publix employees are taught to be pleasant. However, many times when I'm checking out, I hear a covid announcement over the PA, urging masks and social distancing. I figure it's aimed at me but I just pretend I don't hear it. The air is so fresh and clean now in stores. (Remember how it was when Carter was Pres and store had to turn their thermostats up and the air smelled musty all of the time?) Once, a lady stopped me and was so excited to see me without a mask that she took hers off! We talked in the aisle for probably 30 minutes! I rarely see anyone else without a mask but I hope that maybe they'll see me and won't wear theirs the next time.
