I posted this elsewhere, but think it deserves another airing:
"Wife and I were in a Utah COSTCO yesterday - Utah went “no mask” April 10. Girl at the door still wearing a mask and handed out two to us. Went around the store with mask over mouth, everyone else bundled up tight, but no one said anything.
We go past one of the sample stations - charcoal grilled chicken strips looked good - no samples on those little paper cups but they are inside a transparent plastic box. ??? I ask for one and the guy says “Until these masks come off, we can’t offer any.” Hmmm, a sample station that can’t give out samples - display only. What's the point? No tastee, no buyee.
On checkout, the clerk sports a face shield, wears plastic gloves and is behind a plastic screen. “Please sir, put your mask over your nose.” GREAT temptation to ask if she is on a power trip or is she THAT afraid. She looked distressed, so I clammed up.
This Covid B/S has really revealed what a bunch of wimps many are - I never would have believed it."
There was no different in the number of people masked up outside today.
I wonder if they were just unaware or that bound up in fear and paranoia.
