Some workers don’t trust customers — or their co-workers — to be truthful about their vaccination status since most companies are not requiring proof. Others fear they will be judged if they leave their own masks on, even though their reasons for doing so are varied.

William Stratford, 29, won’t be fully vaccinated until next month, but shoppers and co-workers at the home improvement store where he works had been coming in without a mask even before the CDC put out its latest guidance.
He has complained to management and eats lunch in his car to avoid mask-less people in the breakroom. He gets stares from shoppers and co-workers.
“I know for a fact people have a negative opinion of me,” said Stratford of Valley Center, California, who asked that the store where he works not be named out of fear of reprisal. “It’s become a divisive issue in the workplace.”

Some workers worry they have been left to bear the fallout of a confusing jumble of policies. John Bartlett, a meat manager at a Safeway in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, said he is personally relieved that, for now, his store is still requiring masks for everyone but he worries that the policy will make dealing with anti-mask customers even more difficult.
“We have customers who literally cuss at us,” said Bartlett, recalling an incident where a man stormed out of the store shouting obscenities after Bartlett pleaded with him to wear a mask. “The country should just have one policy. It would make it easier because we wouldn’t have deal with customers who are so rude and awful to us.”

Yes, one policy: Masks optional.
That way, those who like to diaper their faces can do so and those of us who like to breathe regular air and not our own exhaust can do so.
I don’t care if you’re wearing a muzzle, but don’t bother me for not doing so.
I’m a transvaxxer.
I have been ignoring the “mask required” signs for over a year.
If the vaxx works, why would you care if others are or aren’t . You should be protected.
So I noticed this very morning!
Not one more crack outta you, buster!
That’s my point. If you and the at-risk people are vaccinated, why should you care that I am not?
Did you miss this in the short excerpt?

I didn’t give a crap what anyone thought of me not wearing a mask before all of these stupid “mandates” and I couldn’t care even less now.
