She said that it was policy for customers to wear masks
I looked her in the eye and said: I guess I'm not your customer. And walked out.
The look of disappointment on the salesman's face as he saw his commission check being shooed away by the "receptionist" was hilarious! I found a based small business nearby and now I already have the tile picked out.
Refuse to do business with ANY business that shows Mask NAZI policies.
Unfortunately, so many conservatives just don't get it. Despite my protests, many conservative family members refuse to stop ordering from Amazon.
I know many conservatives who have ALL cancelled Prime or will let their own subscription expire. Most have severely dialed back purchases. However, let's be honest, there are some items nearly impossible to find unless you go big box and they are all fucking Commie central. So what do you really do? I'm in PA and I refuse to buy booze from the state run liquor stores. I go to local distilleries directly. I know many who have payed extra to shop at local appliance stores and markets of the kind. I think there is a very good population doing their part, or as much as reasonable.
People are undoubtedly doing what they can. I am not perfect either. The list of woke corporations is nearly endless at this point. Still, the amount of people who cannot break at least some of their buying habits is disappointing, especially when viable alternatives exist.
I went cold turkey on Amazon and haven't ordered anything since 2020 now, I have used amazon so far this year to find a product, and then ordered it from the seller company direct instead of through amazon, and then sometime's I'll use Amazon to get a price match for stuff in stores
Last point is important, I bought safety glasses from the company that makes them, and Amazon had them for half off, company that makes them met the price after an email with pics and links
I've done exactly this as well. Unfortunately, Amazon is the storefront for allot of small companies. Seems a little short sighted to be honest. Id be setting up my own site ASAP if I was selling goods online. Even if I need to buy big box store in items, I at least go to the store locally since people in my community are employed there. I've also made efforts to change many brands. GOYA all the way. Funny thing is after he came out supporting Trump the GOYA shelves and were much less full ever since.
Teamsters deliver goya too.nice middle class folk.
a 90pct cut in revenue is HUGE. Life isn't always black and white.
I used some rewards points to buy from Amazon, in fact I got an extra $2 thing I didn't even need so it would qualify for free shipping.
Then they took four days for it to even move. It did come when they said it would but dang eBay would throw me off if I did that all the time.
In Oregon, that would mean go hungery or feed Bezos or China money, sadly.
If I lived in down town berlin in the 1930s, I would move.
Working on it actually lol
This.
Good for you! Keep fighting the good fight. Millions need to stand up and do this nationwide. Our family dropped over $60 a couple days ago on a local restaurant that allows mask freedom. We only go to businesses that let us in without a mask. I keep a list of hundreds of businesses for our community to support.
I give 25% tips to servers acting normal.
My wife and I went to a restaurant yesterday where none of the staff or customers were muzzled. It was so incredibly refreshing. I haven't seen that many smiling faces in over a year.
We left a 100 percent tip with a big thanks for being normal note written on it.
We do too. If they let us in without a mask with no problem, they get a great tip.
We recently told a waitress that if she came to our table maskless it would greatly improve her tip. We were rewarded with a big smile and great service.
I do the same and I make sure they know exactly why the tip is what it is. Initiated some really good conversation like this and realized way more people think like us than we imagined.
I went to our local Amish store on Friday to pick up some chicken broth and other things. No one was wearing a mask. Everyone was smiling! I got home and noticed my broth was accidentally marked for $8.56 (supposed to be $1.99) and I just shrugged it off like meh, so the Amish got a little extra that day. If it was Kroger, I'd probably head back with the receipt in tow.
Cause Amish already beat the Rona. Making everyone else look the fool.

Thank you for doing that! My daughter is a server in Ames, Iowa & a woman (kindergarten teacher) took a swing at my daughter, who stood up for her coworker. The server pulled her mask down, when she went to the computer to put in the food order. The customer freaked & called her the "C" word & made her cry. My daughter stood up to this lady & pointed her to the manager. The manager told her to get out & the other customers clapped as she left the restaurant. Crazy. My daughter couldn't believe it.
A kindergarten teacher!
palm on forehead
Sounds like she's not mature enough to be a Kindergarten student
California here, $60 is appetizers alone.
Oh my gosh 😳
Gas is $4.00+ too!
I'm a tile setter for several upscale builders in my area of NJ. I've been dealing with the same store and salesman for almost 10 years. I have never worn a mask into their store and nobody says a word. I know half the staff thinks covid is bullshit. I also know the entire staff won't say a word bc my accounts anually spend $250k-$500k there. They know when we walk in the door, they're making money.
You might be right. Don't know, don't care.
I always try a small business first. But they are getting hard to find.
It's no accident that Walmart, Amazon, etc are all very pro lockdown.
And why leftists are fighting for mask mandates so hard. They don't WANT us to be able to reward anti-muzzle businesses and punish the communists.
It's no accident that the latest relief bill knocks back the reporting requirement for online sellers from $20,000 to $600.
Our closest big box store is >20 miles away in a very blue city, but sometimes I just have to go there for certain things. I much prefer the old hardware/feed & seed/liquor store that's in the small town nearby. They not only don't require masks, but you can smoke in the store. There's not a lot of variety when you're looking for something, but they almost always have something that'll work and it's not overpriced. The owner also has a bunch of parrots that live in the store, which is interesting.
Where do you live? 1987?
Your name and this post... really? I would shop there
Closer to 1977. The town it's in never had a mask mandate. We went to sunrise service yesterday morning and the place was packed, only one mask and it was on an elderly person recovering from cancer surgery.
That makes me sad
Warm up the choppers 🚁
Pinochet rules
As a Latino that I am, if you are not Latino and you are American and you admire Pinochet, I admire you, because you admire a Chilean General who killed the Commies in the best possible way.
Do you have an Ace Hardware nearby? I haven't had anyone in any of them I've been into lately saying anything about a face diaper.
I went to an Ace last Saturday, and it's in a town with a mask mandate. I didn't wear a mask and they didn't say a word. Some customers were wearing masks, but most weren't. Nobody was hassling anybody. I live in the deep South, where we tend to be polite and not fuck around to find out.
You can get around this by purchasing from third parties on Amazon. Also try eBay
If you're going to use Amazon, at least use Amazon Smile and pick Judicial Watch or some other charity to receive a portion of Bezos's profits.
Project Veritas took my JW money. Tom is great but has yielded ZERO real results.
I have noticed as of late with mask Nazis that it is a receptionist or hostess that gives the moral superiority request AND is exclusively female.
I even had a doctor's office refuse me because I wouldn't wear a mask. Receptionist said doctor wouldn't see me. I replied, "He must have failed basic microbiology and I have no confidence in him now." I left. Keep in mind there is no mask mandate in this area.
As someone here has suggested, try "I'm not allowed to wear a mask as a condition of my parole . . . "
kek
This is great.
This is how we must be
People that will never understand biz and finances work these greeter level front door positions for much of their life. It literally never crosses their minds that $ which would have boosted location profits just walked out the door forever. In their minds they hyper focus and tell everybody they know that they won a battle and then bitch for years about never getting raises.
Good! I did that to a local company here too. Standing at the counter with item in hand with my wallet out count comes around the corner and tells me I need a mask. She would gladly get the iPad and take me out the front door though. 40 bucks of merch got left on the counter and I went 2 blocks down where the guy was so happy to have me. I left two Google reviews that day to let others know who is sane.
Sucks to suck. Glad you found a based place. Any store who tries the Nazi tactics ill never goto again
This is how I am living in Los Angeles. I just don't do anything anymore if it requires a mask. I blame businesses for not pushing back against covid insanity. Businesses that require a mask don't get my business.
Great job. If the owner of that first place had any brains that receptionist would be looking for a new job
^^^THIS^^^
Is the way.
I went to a pizza place last night. They had a sign on the door that said, "Please comply with whatever the local mask laws are this week so we can stay open." Once inside, no one was wearing a mask. It's just CYA so the health department doesn't grief them.
THIS IS THE WAY
Happened to me several times here in Texas. Apparently they don't need my money. I'm fine with that.
This is the way
this is the way
Awesome. I was turned away from a cafe this morning for coffee because no mask. Not 10 feet away were people sitting at a table without masks on
What are you? A science denier? Don't you know covid doesn't infect people when they are sitting down eating?
This is the way.
Nicely done. Supporting small businesses is extra based.
This is the way
The only placed that has asked me to wear a mask the past year was Harbor Freight. I walked out, don't need that Chinese trash anyways.
They told me the same thing AFTER I paid for my small purchase. I told them I wouldn't be coming back.
We dont need that junk, I used to buy from them for those "one time use" type of tools but now I will rent or borrow or even buy brand name, fuck the commies.
I understand why they have these polices. Fear and intimidation, with the fact that the state will destroy their business.
With that said, if I owned a brick and mortar store, I'd do the right thing. Fight against tyranny.
I'm in Texas. Shouldn't have to wear a mask anywhere.
America* ftfy
The world.
You made that small businesses day. Bravo!
This is the way
Walked into a restuarant. They said i needed a mask. Turned around and walked rt back out.
This is the way.
This is the way.
Good for,you!
Would like to support my local bookstore but they make you make an appointment ahead of time, wear a mask and put on hand sanitizer before entering. I don't think so. These are ordinary trade paperbacks, not first editions for heaven's sake.
Thank you for doing your part. This is the way.
Good for you!! This is what we are all going to have to do. We are stronger together.
This is the way.
This is the way
Great!
Nice work pede!
Nicely done.
it might be worth playing along, until halfway through say, you know what I tried this whole mask thing out just for you guys and I don't like it, so I'm not going to wear one; and then see if they want to continue; if they do then let them get a taste of their whole commission; and THEN change your mind about doing business with people that would required people to go through what you just experienced for 15 min...
Have done this. Saying I can’t wear a mask for more than a few minutes and leave. I don’t care what state my purchase is in, not my problem.
Good on you. I hope that lady was fired. Happy Easter.
Nice, well done.
Are you putting the tile in yourself?
My neighbor's cousin is a tile guy.
Send him over to my house when you’re done.
That's discrimination. If they have to bake gay wedding cakes, they can't bar people for being maskless

Walked into a surf shop and noticed the qr scan code, turned around n left.
Went to a takeaway shop, two of em, same chain, must scan qr code, walked out.
Remind me: why are you hating on QR codes?
You must scan a QR code before entering a premises so they can track you like a jew in a concentration camp all the while right next door hundreds of people flow through a grocery store every minute and no one bats an eye.
Seems stores are leaving them up like those 20 year old cardboard cut out pepsi adds in a shops window.
I was the only person not wearing a mask at the grocery store! And a little girl about 3! People stare and avoid walking past! I haven't had to say a word, but if someone says something I'll say my body, my choice. It's not a law, it's a mandate! So far I've gotten no pushback! Of course when i buy my medical cannabis I have to wear it! I wish more people would grow some balls!
this is The Way
Based
fuck those businesses
I spend my money on businesses that do not support that mask mandate, and it's not very difficult to find them here in my state.
