I like walking into a Walmart store with a disposable mask on and then take it off right as I greet the greeter.
In some other more strict stores, I walk around with it below my chin...nobody’s ever said a word to me as long as a mask is visible.
Most stores, I don’t wear one at all.
One woman at a liquor store was clearly perturbed I wasn’t wearing a mask as she pulled her mask down and leaned over the counter and got in my face to ask that I not approach the counter while another customer was still there. I laughed in her face, she immediately pulled her mask back up and checked me out.
I just got glasses at costco. As I was being fitted, he kept telling me to cover my nose and, finally, I pulled the mask off and put it in my pocket. I told him I’m getting fitted for glasses and the mask makes it impossible. He started to complain and kinda shrugged, and continued.
If wearing a mask was as simple as wearing a yellow star of David, that would be one thing, but when it physically interferes with what you are trying to do, that is something entirely different.
Many merchants in Texas are as tired of this nonsense as thinking customers are, but are constrained by state and local edicts to at least go through the motions. I’ve noticed employees, including managers going without or at least wearing them Below their breathing holes.
