Since I work at WM, I know the policy of my very small town store only. We still have “health monitors” who cover the two entrances. They are there to offer masks to those who want one. Occasionally you will get someone that lets the power go to their head and they stop the people and tell them they must wear it.
Last time I was on door duty, I just gave out the masks when they wanted them. Told them to say “health issue” if questioned.
What surprised me the most is how many people are STILL wearing the darn things and how many come in and say OMG, I forgot my mask, do you have one?
We have a long way to go on this one. They are programmed to wear the face diaper. This is a military town.
SMH. Well, I hate to hear that. Talk about programming-junk science prevails it seems. Ha. I guess it seems like a small thing to many, but to me we have to start somewhere, and this is something I can do with no sweat. Take my business elsewhere will be ok with me.
And to find out from Horowitz’s article that it is basically not legal under the public health safety/emergency act to require it, makes me even more determined.
Thanks for the info.
OK, I’m done. I know the flames will start but I won’t see them so don’t waste your time.
I’m as conservative as anybody. I refuse the COVID shots. I hope there is a Q. I hope our President comes back. I know COVID is a bio-virus but it’s still there. It doesn’t take a superbug to put me and a lot of others in the hospital with pneumonia.
But...I can’t take the endless mask shaming any longer. Not everybody that wears one is a “sheep” or a “stinking lib”. I have asthma. I can die from any lung infection. I’m 66. My husband is 82 so I try really hard not to bring anything, including COVID, home to him. FYI, I have been wearing a mask for at least 10 years during flu season to help me avoid any respiratory virus. I know they aren’t perfect but they could be an extra layer between me and some person that is too stupid to stay home when sick. My Pulmonary Specialist AND my primary care have both advised me to wear one during respiratory virus season and stay out of crowds. COVID is no exception.
I’m being selfish here by wishing more people would willingly wear one around other people that they don’t know, like me. I wish stores that post signs that masks are required would take them down if they won’t enforce the rules so that people like me know to stay out. It’s not being a “sheep”. It’s being respectful of others with conditions that might not be able to handle COVID. I don’t and will never support forced mask wearing. I will never shame you for not wearing one. I take responsibility for my health by staying away from crowds. I shop online and have for years during flu season. It’s sad that so many, even conservatives, will make wearing a mask political. Some of you are just as bad, just as mean, and have just as ugly a soul as some of the people you claim to hate, and yes, some of you hate.
