So I live here in Texas, I went today to a mechanic shop to get a routine vehicle inspection. I came in without a mask after leaving my car with them to get inspected to get an ETA on when it would be finished.
As soon as I walk in the bitch at the counter (and yes, it is ALWAYS a woman on purpose to enforce these rules) starts going "mask, mask! sir, you can't be in here without a mask"
I tell her I'm just asking about my car that I see they are inspecting in the garage. She then continues "I can give you a mask, everyone must wear a mask in here"
I tell her I don't care and that I will not wear the mask. She tells me to wait outside until it is done. I wait 10 minutes, they take my card from the bench outside. I call the girl behind the counter and ask for an apology as soon as I get home. She doubles down and says she won't apologize for "doing her job" I let her know that you'll never worry about seeing me again and have lost my business forever and hang up on her as she stammers and attempts to fake apologize.
I just want to say that I can't stand seeing people wearing these masks anymore. It's about to be 2021.Trump won my county here in Texas and yet I'll be one of about 3 people (if I'm lucky) at the store not wearing a mask and basically the only person anywhere else not wearing the mask. If 74 million people or more voted for Trump why are we continuing to comply everywhere with these rules?? I should see people everywhere in theory without the mask.
I'm so frustrated because I know people just want peace but the mask alone (fuck all the other shit) is ruining society. I've never felt more cut off from society than now. I'm a sociable and kind person and have experienced this behavior at least 4 or 5 times now. I've switched gyms, switched restaurants and now mechanics.
We are losing the battle of the mask. Sorry to sound like a doomer, someone give me a hope about this. Are we really going to go to civil war if we are afraid of the consequences of not wearing a mask in public? I'm not so sure...
Thanks for hearing me out. 8 more years of Trump please God!!
You have made very good points . I have completely stopped going places that enforce masks.
My local chain of stores. They accept "can't wear one" same with my local Dollar General.
Dollar General here in NC will make you sit your shopping basket down and they walk you out of the store and threaten next time they will call cops for them to trespass you.
It's so wild
that's scary.
I’ve got like 4 of those near my new house, they try that nonsense I’ll go to the next one and wish them well with closing down the store.
I have been given the impression that it's vastly different depending on your area. Places like Wal Mart won't even bat an eye if you're not in a "mask enforced" area, even if they put up the signs. But if you're in a mask enforced state? Nobody wants anything to do with you.,
I take advantage of Vons online delivery. Every time you make a new account, you get $20 off and free delivery. I get %70 off all food and its delivered.
Getting certain meat from the meat counter is difficult because they always selling out of certain things day by day. You gotta make sure to select "no substitutes" for all items. That way, if they don't have something, they will just not charge you and still take $20 off.
If you have to buy food, buy food. But don't go anywhere else that makes you wear a face diaper. Shop the competition.
