But I go along with it out of respect for the businesses I patronize.
If I don't want to wear a mask I won't enter. Otherwise, I suck it up, put on the mask and go along.
The alternative is for me to be the jerk and cause trouble for some poor, unfortunate 19 year old. Jeez.
Yep! Don’t like it but I’m sure as heck not going to take it out on some kid working somewhere! And sadly, very sadly, I didn’t need to see the picture to guess something about what her attackers looked like.
The real reason a part of our population is poor - including some white trash in my own extended family? No self-control. You cannot build a decent future if you never think more than 5 minutes ahead and control yourself.
I said the same thing at my local Irish Pub this afternoon: I have no idea whether masks are stopping the spread, but I am willing to wear one if only because I don't want the Cuomo Covid Police shutting the place down.
Your approach mirrors mine exactly. I keep the mask in my pocket. 99% of the places I enter totally ignore the mask requirements. If one tells me I have to put it on to stay I either do it or leave.
