I live in a small town. I NEVER wore a mask to Kroger even though they had a LARGE sign saying it was required by the governor (King Andy Beshear of KY). For several months I was the only person in the store mask-less. The governor’s henchmen were threatening local businesses with all kinds of BS code violations if they did not force customers to wear the diaper.
When I went to stores and was approached on it, I said I had a medical exclusion. Worked everytime. I HATE the mask Nazis.
Me too.
Even during our few months’ mask mandate in Texas, the Brookshire’s where I bought groceries had the required sign on the door, but staff looked the other way. Almost half of us were free-faced at any given time there and nobody ever bothered us. Several restaurants, at least one microbrewery and some shops also ignored us free-breathers and let us be.
I heard about places that had mask Nazis posted at their doors to bark at people about masks, but I never went to any of those places. Most of them were the big national chain stores from what I heard.
