My Adventures in Florida today. Several stores, one elderly lady with mask.
Thank you for your push back.
A few months ago, some flack had suggested that in England the mask mandates should be made permanent as “people are used to them now”. So, if you decide to be polite and compliant, it is taken as support for the imposition.
So, I try every sign, see if I get push back, and walk out if I am told they are required, in many cases to never go back again. I am in a large city (Phoenix), so I can get away with taht. But any push back, anywhere, is worth doing.
Do you live in Alberta?
So I assume this happened in Canada? Shouldn’t you be careful? Can’t they arrest you for failure to obey?
I’ve been reading where they just arrested a pastor for holding church services in violation of their laws.
No masks here in Delco PA. except my doctors offices.
I agree absolutely. The mask insanity just keeps going on and on.
Walked into Walmart when the mask mandated just started. I had it below my nose. The Lady at the door told me to put it over my nose. I just said no thanks and kept walking
In the last year, I got challenged four times for not wearing a mask. The first three times I told them no, but thank you for your concern and that was it. The last time however, about two months ago, I walked into a Goodwill resale shop. This guy comes running toward me like his hair was on fire pointing to his face saying sir sir sir sir like I was some sort of leper. Screw him, kept looking around.
We live in a secluded part of Berlin because it is a peninsula at the river Spree. So we had to travel to food shop. This area was a swampy industrial waste zone but really beautiful otherwise. In recent years they have done the most impressive land and water clean-up and development I ever thought possible. Now a lot of our neighbors are rich.
Part of the development is a long tall building that includes a supermarket food store that is only two blocks from us. Yesterday was opening day so my wife and I went at 7am. We only spent about 10 euros on breakfast stuff because we wanted to go again when our daughter woke-up.
When we entered the supermarket opening day they offered a glass of orange juice or champagne. There is a bakery and an escalator going up to the supermarket.
So, we were the first ones in, the first ones up the escalator, the first ones paying (I think) and then there were the options of being the first ones down the escalator, down the stairs or down the elevator. I told my wife let’s be the first ones down the elevator.
The elevator went down but the door failed to open and it would not move so we were stuck for almost an hour. When they got the door to open I stepped out with no mask on and got another glass of orange juice. Then a worker walk by and signaled to me to wear a mask so I took some steps outside.
That’s it. That’s what I got. Take it or leave it.
Later when we went back with our daughter the escalator was broke too. But it’s a great supermarket and we are very happy. The bakery is awesome too.
I went to Kroger today - big sign on the door, everyone must wear a mask. So I pulled up my bandana, when I got inside, no one was wearing a mask, not even the employees.
I would have told the manager that “I am tire(d) of this crap”. I’ll shop elsewhere”.
For those who may not be aware of what Canadian Tire.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We call it China Tire......I bet if you go through the store aisle by aisle, it will will be a serious challenge to find anything made in China there.
I went to crappy tire on Sunday.
Crowd control employee allowed me to walk into store with mask in pocket
Millenial chirped at me to put my mask on.
I told him he knows less than nothing and I would take direction from a store employee.
Store employee popped up and ask me to put on my mask
The left is very crafty. They knew that it would be difficult to beat all Americans into total submission. (Not Canadians. They would not show any resistance.) So they came up with a plan. The plan would have many benefits, but the big one would be forcing the folks into unquestioned compliance, and carrying around a very visible sign of their subjugation.
Voila the mask!
The mask, which slowly suffocates you and does not protect from any infection, would be commanded, and the penalties would be huge - way out of proportion.
The major effect of the mask on me was to harden my total distrust of government.
I believe face masks at this point have become nothing more than a political statement. Especially for peoples of color.
From my observations, they continue to wear masks when I see them, regardless of where they are. I mean even outside while walking down the street or driving a car with no passengers. Go figure.
People quit wearing them here about 2 months ago. Even the hippy store finally gave up. They are reduced to a sign that says “We are wearing a mask and hope you will too”
Buncha antivaxxers.
"I think I will let a Canadian Tire employee tell me that."
He didn't tell you anything. He asked you a question.
