have a point to make, go find somewhere else to make that point, and not around others in an enclosed environment while you are at it, ranting and raving, and spitting all over everyone else.

All our Trader Joe’s in Northern California have signs no mask no admittance. They are limiting the number of people and outside they will give you hand sanitizer if you need it before entered the store. Personally I wear gloves now whenever into a store.

Stupid people are going to kill us.

And her whole unhealthy rationale - why are medical personnel flopping over from an overdose of their own carbon dioxide.

I think that female just wanted her 15 minutes of infamy.

No such rule
Many of the employees don't wear masks

Jesse didn't need to be the point of contact for the store, to the police.

wearing a mask when I’m at checkout, I thank the cashier for wearing his/hers. It makes the point and I think the cashiers appreciate it.

Naive. That's a questionable remark and the answer is not about parading about, acting rude and arrogant as an blatant, public expression of being anti-social and naive at the same time.

Freedom is really reciprocal or there is only tyranny. Freedom, when investigated, starts with understanding that there are responsibilities in having it, promoting it and preserving it.

I take it that the employees and other shoppers were not considered in their right to not be needlessly harassed by an asshole with issues who doesn't at all understand the above? The right to be ignorant is the end of freedom as we knew it.

but the rule in this store is that you wear a mask. Put one on or shop somewhere else." Stores have rules about wearing shoes and shirts, too, and you don't see customers throwing hissy fits about that, even if some customers think they have the right not to wear shoes or shirts (which they do, generally speaking, but not if a store doesn't want them on the premises without those things). But masks have become symbols, and the issue isn't just public health any more. The MAGAts, put simply, think that refusing to wear a mask is a symbol of their loyalty to Trump and Trumpism. Their hero doesn't wear one because he thinks he looks weak, plus, it would acknowledge that the disease is serious and widespread. The members of the Trump cult have adopted that belief: The virus isn't that bad, so if you wear a mask it shows that you're weak and afraid. The libs are weak. Trump isn't weak; I want to be like him and I don't want to seen as weak and afraid like the mask-wearing libs (even though I definitely need an AR-15 to go to Wal-Mart for toilet paper).

And you are "free" to shop elsewhere, Gen, you dummy!

If I see a bunch of people with no masks entering and leaving the store, I don't go in.

Although the place I work doesn't mandate customers wear masks, I know that if they ever do, the workers will be responsible for enforcing it. It's absolute bullshit. Retail workers should not be the ones dealing with this shit. The public is full of dangerous, ignorant fucks.

I am not afraid of the virus. I am afraid of my fellow Americans acting like belligerent assholes.

Then she can leave, put a mask on or steal the groceries...

A scene from Bronx Tale comes to mind, sorry:

I would enjoy hearing news that NON-MASK wearers in public are getting pummeled by mask wearers, and no accurate witness accounts or arrests?
