Fuck small business. Seriously, fuck em. The next time you walk into some small business with the intention to support them and they go "SIR! MASK!" and they do that little swipe across the face gesture, tell them you're exempt and if they still deny you, walk out and never support them again.
This has happened to me several times now. I told them I will never come back and my only intention was to spend some money to help them. 2 of those businesses are declaring bankruptcy now.
Fuck em. They're dying, won't open up en mass and resist tyranny, have to jack their pricing up to survive and still wanna play by the rules rigged against them.
I say fuck every one that doesn't want to resist. Let em rot.
If the little guy doesn't understand it's the big guys and government stepping on their necks and refuse to resist it, then they deserve to perish.
Unfortunately, for small business's that do this to people, I have to say, good luck in the bankrupt division, explaining why you have no business. Because I too, would just turn around and leave, don't say nothing, they feel superior when you argue with them. They feel like shit when you just quietly leave, cause then they realize, the purpose, is financially unstabling them. Arguing with them makes them feel they are correct.
