You could collectively make an effort with likeminded co-workers to fight back against tyranny. Get your act together and stop saying and doing things that make you weak NOW while you are still permitted to make mistakes without loss of life or livelihood.
Had a guy escalate shit fast to "you think you are better than us?" And REALLY wouldn't back down, even though he was 5 ft. 100 lb. 70 year old man, and said shit like "look at how weak and stupid you are." I shouted him down (no mask= louder than mask wearer) and it did not end pleasantly. A confrontational mask nazi will sometimes NEVER back down, so always have an exit strategy and pay cash so you can bail at any point without stealing, and without leaving identifiable info behind. These pricks will pick moments when you are stuck and vulnerable, so mitigate that.
Not sure if intentionally idiotic bait or not, but its bait.
