yeah personally my wife puts up better with that mask shit so if she's willing to do things like shopping, great. Means I don't have to put a face diaper on to go. I don't know any businesses that aren't requiring it, most places I've thought to go have signs on the front door making it required. Personally, I don't like confrontation and don't want to find out the store I pick to go to they wig out if you walk in without a mask (because they're terrified of being shut down if they're caught letting someone in maskless). If someone comes up to me and tells me "I need a mask", not only will I promptly leave and not come back, I'll probably say something to them I really don't want to have to and it'll be all I can do not to slap a bitch. It would piss me off that much. If you "make a scene, rest assured the mask-sheep will all gather around while you argue with the managers, and record it to shame you later, then cheer like they won some goddamn victory when the manager kicks you out.
I'm sure if enough people call Murphy's "Karen Hotline" he'll sic the health department on the establishment and "Atilis Gym" them. He's determined not to listen to reality and doesn't want to give up his power right now.
What we have to do is basically absolve the business from any wrongdoing if someone is "contact traced" to have "contracted COIVD" from that business. Basically they can't be sued or have any licenses taken away as long as they followed cleanliness guidelines - they wiped down/disinfected things on a schedule, they kept things neat and clean, etc (masks on the staff is not part of the plan) Absolve them from any liability, maybe then they wouldn't be so paranoid about adhering to forcing people to wear masks in-store.
The Governor basically made everyone the "mask police". The Karen Hotlines where people who love to ruin everyone else's day will call just to fuck you over, the tattle on your neighbor for having a party website, the stores themselves threatened with shutdown for letting ONE person in maskless, etc. it's gotta stop. Just refusing to wear the mask only works in places that don't care. If they're paranoid about losing their business license, their health certificate or whatever they're still going to be very aggressive about masks.
Hell, officially you're supposed to be able to go to parks maskless as long as you can distance or you go hiking on back trails and aren't constantly mingling with groups. Can't do that in Essex County though, all the county parks have big signs at the entrances "Masks and Social Distancing Required". So I haven't basically done much of anything outside of a few family/friends parties, visiting my parents and my wife's family since lockdowns started. I still work from home, and outside of once we went to a chain restaurant and ate outside for my nephew's birthday only picked up/ordered in or made our own food. I'm just not going to voluntarily give in to wearing a mask just so I can "get out of the house".
You've described my life for the past few months. If I want something from a restaurant, I order delivery or carry out. Shopping is done by delivery too. Less impulse buys.
Every once in a while I will go out to a store. Bought some headlights at a small, local shop. The guy running the store said he wouldn't bother if it wasn't for the Karens, and a few of his employees weren't wearing them either. It was a relief to see.
That's surprising for NJ. Here in Texas, people are wearing them like status symbols or something. I went to the grocery store and I see practically everyone in the parking lot wearing them. It's bizarre what we're seeing in this state. I feel like I'm living in CA. I'm hoping that Abbott's executive orders get struck down by a high court or he comes to the realization that he's a hated cuck and starts to follow the direction of states like FL, Georgia and SD.

Depends where you're going obviously. If you go to a big chain for grocery shopping (Target, Whole Foods etc), then yeah you'll see everyone wear masks just like here in NJ.
With the exception of the "Karens", everyone knows that the business requires the mask, because the State or Local government requires the businesses to enforce the masks.
We were one of the first days to lock down, and the Governor just kept extending the timeline indefinitely. The Governor chose to ignore the people's wishes to lift restrictions in a timely matter, so the people responded by just ignoring the Governor.
We the people have declared the virus to be over, just like in Florida.
Even in my Blue State of New Jersey, nobody's wearing masks anymore except if the business requires it.
Even the non-chain restaurants aren't really following the 25% indoor capacity limit anymore.
It's pretty much common knowledge that this virus was 100% political.
