Face masks

[Ninjasquirrel]

The only place that "made" me wear my mask was meijer. Wish I videoed it but heres how it went:
Walked in the door and grabbed my cart and went to wipe it off with a lysol wipe when a masked employee approached me.
"Miss you need to put on a mask"
"Um...i have on a mask."
"No it needs to be on your face"
"Its on my face"
...silence as I start walking away from him
..."it needs to be over your nose and mouth"
"Oh? Why? The sign just said I needed a mask"
I walked away but I ended up putting it on anyway as he muttered behind me "you know d*** well what we mean"
When I walked out he was still standing there.
"I wore it. Aren't you happy?"
"Have a nice day mamm...b****"
"Neo nazi p****"

In case anyone is wondering why the argument against wearing them...THIS. This interaction right here. Clear disrespect. Needless to say I will not be shopping there again.

Pinch A Penny was a pain. Such a long line. Only one person at a time and you had to have a mask.
ugh

Is that like a dollar store? We only have dollar general and dollar tree where we are located.

There is a night and day difference depending where you are. I live in the suburbs and almost everyone is wearing and a few people feel the need to police others with their fear. Drive 40 miles west and about half wear masks and less are concerned. Drive further away and nobody cares.
My whole point is why do you get to police me with your fear but you wont submit to my fear. I'm afraid of other drivers so every other car should stay home.
If you're sick stay home, if you're high risk stay home, if you're afraid stay home. When those people are out of the way we healthy people can return to normal life.

Actually it's a pool store. It would make sense to be a dollar store though lol. I have no idea why it's called that

Why wear a mask if you aren't going to cover your nose and mouth?

Everyone seems to think they are SJW but those people are just Karens and Dylans. Tbh, I think most people are honest, decent and all around good. I think everyone wants to be safe and no one wants to get sick. Heck, I was a big lover of this whole thing when it started: no one was standing too close to me, people were covering their nasal passages and there was way less traffic. But dont you think this has gone on too long? It's not going anywhere and they didn't do this when Spanish flu happened. Sure most people would say or argue that the infrastructure wasnt there for us to do what we've done thus far back then; but it wasnt really there for us now. We've had to adapt and change all the while being told that we are noble. We're all in this together....

...and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Exactly. What is the point? I saw several people including employees today that were not wearing them properly. Plus the mask doesnt protect you...according to the news outlets...it protects other people. Thats kinda a backwards statement. If it doesnt protect me how in God's name does it protect you? I also heard on the news that if you dont cover your nose you remove 80 percent of its protection rating. Almost makes it pointless.

you wear a mask to keep your own germs contained. When everyone wears a mask, it helps keep the spread down
