I know exactly what you mean. I live on the eastern side of Washington and it's pretty rural and the polar opposite of Seattle. Yet this side of the state is getting fucked over by the coasties. Infuriating.

As soon as I saw the title, I knew exactly the video you were talking about. I watched this a couple weeks ago on YouTube, not sure if it's still up there. Saw that it was 5 hours long and thought I'd just watch a little bit. Ended up watching the entire thing.

If you're a Christian, it's not really all that shocking. We know there is evil in this world and Satan is behind it all. I never knew much about Freemasons until watching this video but it would make a whole lot of sense. Not 100% sure I believe everything this guy says, but the whole video in its entirety is absolutely eye opening.

In my personal opinion, you have got to draw a line somewhere and HOLD IT. Otherwise it's just moving the goalposts further and further down the line. It will NEVER END. How do you think they've gotten away with all this bullshit in the first place? Remember "14 days to flatten the curve"?

Under absolutely no circumstances will I never wear a mask because the government says so. Never have and I never will. It's as simple as that. Those who want to wear a mask are free to do so. As long as they keep their fucking noses out of my business, I do not give a shit. Free country and all.

I full expect them to try everything they can to cheat and get out of this. They don't play by the rules, they've made sure to make everyone aware of that.

I'm not comfortable talking about my medical condition, sorry.

This warms my heart.

One more update, for those interested.

I went to the store in question today. None of the employees said a thing to me. I was trying my best to just mind my business and get the hell out. Did not see the store manager but I imagine I will the next time I go back. I am fairly certain they had a big meeting and were told about my incident. Got a couple interested looks from employees. I don't know, maybe I was just paranoid lol. Honestly, don't give a shit.

No mask, not now not ever. God bless America.

Hey this is the verse of the day on my Bible app. Awesome.

I hope so. And I hope sooner rather than later.

When all this started last year, the door guy at Walmart gave me some shit about masks. I was nice to him and just told him that he'd have to get used to me coming to the store without a mask. I told him covid wasn't magically gonna disappear and that we'd all better just go on with our lives. We can't wear masks forever so I was just skipping to the part where I won't wear a mask lol.

I see him almost every single time I go to Walmart and he hasn't said a word since. He actually kinda nods his head and say hi now.

Haha the funny thing is that my blood was pumping and I wanted to throw some shit around. It's just my brain doesn't quite work right when I'm stressed like that and I completely shut down.

Yet it all totally worked in my favor. Just glad that's over. Thanks, and I'll definitely be holding the line.

Yeah I was going into Costco with no mask up until their new policy where they would not honor medical exemptions. Still don't understand how they can get away with that but whatevs.

There's gotta be something in purple hair dye that makes them fucking nuts.

Thanks for the kind words, brother. Much appreciated!

The crazy thing is that those first few months were the worst but I got through it. I'd been shopping without a mask for months without a single issue until that day. Kinda shocked me, tbh. Guess I knew the day was coming sooner or later.

So yeah, I knew this wouldn't be easy. But like you said, it's a matter of principal. I feel like I HAVE to do this no matter how uncomfortable it makes me. Stay strong bro.

That is awesome to hear. Sometimes I feel like I'm all alone in this but I remember my frens here are all in as well. Such a great feeling to know we've got each other. Thanks for sharing!

No, of course I don't lie.

You simply say this:

"I am medically exempt".

That's it. No explanation, no medical cards, no paperwork. The way it's supposed to work is that the employee leaves you alone after that. They are not legally allowed to ask what your condition is or anything else.

What this manager did to me could have been extremely bad for her and the store if I really wanted to pursue it.

Yup.

Haha, it is so tempting. I honestly just wanna be left alone but I will definitely not be hiding if I see that manager again. Might even walk past and say "HI" lol.

Thanks so much, really appreciate you saying that.

Haha, I'm happy someone gets me. Kind of a huge deal for me. Feels fucking great.

Yup, I probably will never need it but I think I'll print out the email and keep it in my wallet or something just in case. Thanks!

I have put up with all the eyerolls, the purple-haired ladies screeching for me to "mask up", and the occasional employee asking me to wear a mask. I have ALWAYS ignored it all and when it came to it, just said "MEDICAL" and walked away. Never ever had a problem until this place. This was the very first time I was actually told I couldn't shop without a mask, medical or not. Wish I were like you LOL. But my brain just goes into overdrive and wont let me function when it comes to confrontation. I hate it. This was at WinCo.
