We need to proactively reach out to these companies that are allowing this behavior and tell them it is NOT acceptable. I just left a message for the CFO of Costco and I highly recommend you all do the same.
The forcing of masks on us like we're sheep is completely unacceptable and if we don't step to the plate and push back on this they won't stop.
You've just reminded me that one of the DUMBEST things I've seen is people driving with their windows up - while wearing a mask - and they're the only one in the car.
The second dumbest thing I've seen was someone standing outside a grocery store smoking a cigarette while wearing a mask. They'd pull the mask down, take a drag off their cigarette, exhale, then put the mask back up. Unbelievable.
They also have the right to gripe at them.
Im not much into virtue-signaling and thats about all this policy is accomplishing.
So youre right, I am taking my business elsewhere.
It is virtue signalling. I noticed early on Costco does seem to attract the crazies in this panic. They’ve all convinced themselves they are “high risk.”
I’ve not waited in line once to shop since the Chicom flu started. Walmart and Aldi are pretty much back to normal in my area. After 30+ years as a Costco member I find no longer find the need for my family to support the leftists who run Costco.
They are doing this for liability purposes and protection of their employees. It is the smart thing for COSTCO to do in the short term. Give it a rest. The ban will be lifted in time.
I avoid the place until lifted.
Go ahead and defend the police state.
If masks work why were they not required at the beginning? This is social control and corporate virtue signalling. I won’t be a cosplay sheep for corporations and am taking my dollars elsewhere.
Who has said they don't? Where?
Exactly, mask for only items I cannot find anywhere else.
The Chinese must be laughing their asses off...
If youre concealed how are they going to know youre carrying?
Whats the worst they can do, ask you to leave?
Does your state have a posted exception for private property?
-
Exactly. Ive been carrying at Costco for years. Will continue to.........
Costco ia doing it because the company is run by leftists and they want to virtue signal. Costco has a long history of leftism. Go look at their twitter. The last tweets were regarding a Costco ad “accidentally” on Breitbart.
Thankyou.
Whats the worst they can do, ask you to leave?
Does your state have a posted exception for private property?
Yes, if it's concealed, nobody knows, and no, Michigan does not give posted signs the weight of law beyond trespass if you do not leave if asked.
For the dozen or so times we went, that's exactly what I did, but I still refuse to support businesses that have signs that say I am not welcome. So when it came time for membership renewal, I said "no thanks."
Who said they didn't? Where?
You knew it was just a matter of time.
Are you saying Costco doesn’t the right and/or the obligation to protect its employees and customers?
I am a flubro/Covid skeptic who has no problem wearing a mask in stores. Where I live you must wear one to enter retail establishments. I am not sure if this is by law or the stores mandating it.
So I end up wearing me trusty N95 mask maybe 60 minutes per week. No skin off my nose! Plus the workers in the store are all wearing masks, so I am making them feel better since they are spending 40-50 hours a week in an iffy situation.
“...I will cancel my membership if they allow ignorant dumbasses into Costco...”. Stop right there. Cancel your membership.
I've seen those surveys and how they rate 'freedom.'
