I like this pushback.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

But, But, COVID!

The first time I put on a mask to enter a bank after the mask mandates and hit in 2020 I remember thinking how convenient it would make it for thieves.

Those people who wish to wear masks are free to set up an appointment for a personal shopping experience
or visit our website.”

= = =
They can wear their mask when visiting their website.

Huh...

I believe many of us here pointed out this very same problem 3 years ago...

If you can’t stop them from stealing, how are you going to stop them from wearing a mask? Call the police? The police won’t arrest them for stealing, so do you expect them to arrest anyone for not having a mask?

[sit-rep]

wondered how long befor this happened!! I am actually surprised it took this long!

"The mask mandate may have begun as a health precaution but we believe it is now being used by some people for nefarious purposes.

Gee, ya think?

[conservative98]

Remember the folks about a year ago saying people NEED these masks and banning masks is just as bad as requiring them. "Masks cause no harm." Wrong. You don't need a mask to go into a store and there all sorts of unintended consequences from INCREASING bacteria spread to crime and all the rest.

The wearing of face masks in public has traditionally been a violation of the law in most cities.

[Col Frank Slade]

It’s LA.

They will arrest people for not wearing masks.

Actually a pretty cool store. Have done Christmas shopping there, before.

Good for them.

[Magnum44]

This is irony in, of all places, California...

I had the same thinking in 2020 when I cashed in the first Trump check. My idiot bank Chase STILL doesnt do squat when someone in a mask enters the bank, as of last week..

However, there are apps that make a facial recognition construction of your face like Snow. One of the guys I know who works for a nearby Indian casino uses the same software.

[Jane Long]

I’ve gotten to where I ask (any few) mask wearers (like, a lady at our bank, the other day) if they are ill. I stand back when I ask.

Because....I tell them....the only ones who should even consider wearing the silly things are those who are ill...and, if you’re ill, you should stay at home.

It’s having a good effect, so far. Making a few folks think.

[max americana]

I know that place, and pass it by with my GF when she goes on her “let’s make max americana poor” tour. It’s not really pricey but they had a BLM placard on their store..which is ironic.

This may open the proverbial can of worms. Get ready.

The burka, also known as a chadaree in Afghanistan or a paranja in Central Asia, is an enveloping outer garment which covers the body AND THE FACE that is worn by women in some Islamic traditions. The Arab version of the burqa is called the boshiya, and it is usually black.
