I am a smoker of tobacco. Stupid, I know. I walk in to my local Circle K because they offer a discount on buying a pair of American Spirit cigarettes, which are already among the most expensive brands. As soon as I get in the socially-distanced line, the counter person, wearing a mask, says, "You have to wear a mask." Keep in mind that I was just in there a couple days ago without a mask, and got promptly served. Also keep in mind that I live in a red state.
I immediately walked out, went across the street and paid a full dollar more for a single pack. I don't care that the smokes were more expensive--I refuse to give an establishment my business, if they insist that I wear a porous piece of cloth over my face. The amount of stupid people, so easily brainwashed, is astounding. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at this point.
I feel the same way, but unfortunately I'm having my choice made for me now.
The mask regulations are so inane though that they don't affect me that much unless I'm shopping.
We have to wear them when we enter or leave restaurants, but once we're seated, we can remove them.
We have to wear them entering and leaving the gym, but once working out we can remove them.
Everybody knows that once you're eating or working out, you are no longer infectious.
