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.
