The fascists at the stores are annoying as heck, but if there were 30 of us at once, they wouldn't know what to do. What would they do, call SWAT? Ha, no.
So, let's pick a day and time. I say: next Friday at 6PM. We stand outside, mask free, and when there's enough, we walk in and we stroll about, make some token purchases.
I do this every time I go in the store and always have, most of the time i'm the only one without a mask. Just take the stupid things off and forget about them.
I do it too, but I want to do a show of numbers. They chase after me and harass me because they can, because there's enough employees with nothing better to do. There's not enough employees to harass thirty customers.
No one says anything anymore. Just walk in and go amongst your business. You'll get one or two assholes, but 90% of them just don't have it in them anymore.

Ugh, at my stores it's getting worse, not better. At my restaurants nobody cares anymore. But at the stores they chase and chase me. It's all sir sir sir sir, and I want to do an impression of IT'S MAAM just for the fun of it, but still, they're so annoying.
I had one douch bag come up to me at Safeway and tell me "put on your mask." I laughed at him. Loudly. Then continued my conversation with the butcher. Two minutes later, the store manger walks up with a mask and tells me I'm coughing "quite the uproar" in the store. He asked me to put on a mask and I said no. I told him he'd be violating HIPPA laws by asking me again and legally I dont have to. He said, "please?" I again said no and told him I wouldn't be coming back to hi store anyway for harassing me.
As I was walking up to check out, we passed each other and I had a shit eating grin on my face. Mind you, I stand 5'1 and my husband wasn't with me.
Stand your ground. Even the bar we like to go to who makes everyone wear them stopped fighting us. We can't, and won't wear them. Period.
I don't want to tell them I'm exempt, that I've a doctor's note/excuse/whatever. I've a wonderful mesh mask that feels like you're not even wearing a mask, but I almost never wear it. I don't want to play their games, I won't pretend to wear a mask (mesh) or not cover my nose, I just say no. When handed a mask I take it and thank them, but still don't wear it.
None of that is the point. The point is these little fucks are super annoying and I want to annoy them back. I want to do an Ants movie like thing where we show them we're not going to comply and we're not afraid, but in a way where there's nothing they can do and they can't even chase us down their aisles. I want to schedule a mask non-compliance event.
