I walked in FRONT of a police car, then in Front of an officer into a gas station without a mask on. Officers said nothing. I bought a coffee and left.

I was the only person not wearing a mask and the line was long.

I had my inhaler in my pocket in case someone wanted to harass me. My doctor says I cannot wear a mask because of my chronic bronchitis and I need quick access to my inhaler. I've pierced my lung in several spots and have chronic bronchitis from years of construction and demolition. That's my story. Some of it is true. I did pierce my lung in an accident. I did work construction and demolition for a few years. Come up with your own legitimate, confidently explanation if you ever have to tell it. Or research some credible studies that justify you not wearing it. Have a fucking print out. Or print out the law and find the loophole and have it in your pocket. Know the ADA laws. Be ready and more prepared for confrontation than they are.

Just resist. There's loopholes. Find out what they are and use them.

They cannot legally force you to wear a mask on your face. It actually has documented negative health effects. They can't force you to harm yourself. And they don't want to get sued.

If a business makes a big fuss, I will usually leave because whatever I came to the business for is not important enough for me to argue and make a standoff, especially when I am armed.

I've learned which businesses don't care about the masks. I've even engaged in friendly discussions with clerks. Usually it is something like "I hope you get to choose to wear your mask and are not forced to by your employer if you prefer not" which usually gets a response such as "yeah i hate this thing but my boss makes me wear it." Then I know who I'm dealing with. Someone ultimately against wearing mask if given a choice. Those are our allies. If someone says "I wear it because it keeps me safe" then I know I'm dealing with a brainwashed person.

A pawn shop employee asked me to put a mask on loud in front of everyone. I didn't respond or yell or argue. I just made a straight walk to the door. I had only seen a couple things I was potentially interested in buying, but didn't really care enough.

I go to home repair stores and no one bothers me.

I go to bars and no one bothers me. Although there is one bar that is cucked with the masks so I haven't gone there in about a year and probably won't return.
