I know a lot of people feel like this does nothing, or even incites problems, but hear me out.

Most people follow the leader. I literally got multiple people to take their masks off (people who were wearing them under their noses)

Use self check-out and give people their space. But holy fucking shit guys. I know Trump won. I know my county is conservative. Why do most people bother wearing it under their nose at all?

It's the anticipated social anxiety attached to it. It's manufactured consent. Be smarter.
