My alter ego, the Masked Menace, came out at the grocery store today.

[Cousin Dupree]

About 50% masked, 50% unmasked. I hadn’t been to the grocery store in weeks due to a foot injury. I was shocked, for some reason. (Guess I expect sensible behavior).
So this man probably in his 70’s is on the other side of the tomato display, no mask, and his wife is standing further away but can hear me. I said to him, “You should be wearing a mask”. He said, “Why?” And I’m trying to think of a quick answer that would maybe get him to think. So I said, “ To protect the children”. I could see that they didn’t know what to say from the looks on their unmasked faces. Is there any chance I made a dent?

1. I kinda doubt it.

They most likely haven't given any real thought to the pandemic in a while.

But props to you for trying!

2. Subtly below the belt. Literally.

3. Most likely they couldn't hear you.

4. That's perfect! Good job!!

Tho no likely to change their behavior.

I’m shocked to see grocery store employees completely unmasked- from the deli guy to the check out lady to the manager- It’s crazy!

5. From your headline I was expecting something more like this...
