For my job, I come in contact with many people from states where masking is maybe not "mandatory" but heavily and socially encouraged.
The people ask me if they have to wear a mask, and I say no, this is Texas, and I would say the vast majority basically say, thank God.
Mods you can pull, I know this issue has been discussed ad nauseum.
No, but if they do they’ll regret it.
I’m also in Texas.
NOT wearing a mask is the norm here. Nobody cares if you don’t wear a face diaper.
I’m in southern California. No one has confronted me about not wearing a mask. I suppose it’s coming, though. We’ll see.
I’m in southern Indiana. Over 90% here don’t wear a mask.
No. I realized yesterday that I had not been off the farm for four weeks though.
I finally went yesterday and again this morning for my sin of having forgotten something yesterday. Neither trip to town inspired me to go again anytime soon.
No one is telling me to put on a mask. But watching the actions of those wearing masks in stores around me is quite humorous. They see you coming down an aisle, and they are trying very hard to hug a side of the aisle to make room. Heck, they weren’t socially distancing that hard back in March 2020. COVID paranoia has truly set in, and the DEMs bank on that.
Don’t go out much but we have had contractors work on house. They often have masks on until we mention that its fine not to wear them at our house. So far in every case they have happily taken them off.
In office today, getting bolder about not wearing out of MY office.
I know those who would complain.
I’m in Maryland, outside of DC, and I wear a mask if a business requires it. But I occasionally see people in stores without masks, and I haven’t seen anybody bother them.
In Orange county CA roughly half the customers in several national chain stores ignored signs to wear masks and nobody said a word.
I suspect they are still nutty in downtown Atlanta.
I have had the same experience.
In north Mississippi & you wear one or don’t.....no one gets hassled. That’s the way it should be.
I was on a Carnival Cruise ship last week. They had signs up on where you were supposed to be masked. The only place it was even occasionally enforced was inside elevators.
No. Florida.
Wore the mask for a brief period in the spring of 2020. Haven’t done so since. We live on the Gulf Coast.
In a town east of Portland Oregon I’ve started NOT wearing mask in grocery stores...small biz I feel sorry for I will mask up..but have mask under my nose...even as signs say “mask over nose and mouth” required.
Yes. Yesterday in CA, at BevMo I forgot. Employee noticed in the first minute or two.
I don’t mind the mask wearing inside facilities with lotta people and especially winter season. Outdoors no freaking way. I see people walking in the park with masks on. Really?
