In reply to the discussion: MASK REQUIRED FOR SERVICE. --- this 👍😆 [View all]Hortensis
(58,785 posts)49. My experience in rural GA and FL also suggests a lot of complaints are overstated.
A majority on average have been wearing masks here for some time, most just know they aren't buying groceries without them, but going without does become more common in smaller, nonchain stores that don't specifically require them.
The only places we've seen without masks for a very long time were outstanding examples. A couple of upscale coastal vacation/retirement communities. The only people we saw wearing masks were some unfortunate service workers who had no choice but let customers spread disease at will. I presumed pretty solidly conservative overall, though the Trump boat parade going on at one didn't seem to spark any special enthusiasm in those strolling around.

A great sign, and one that should have never been required, if all wore their mask. ...

This is wonderful. What gets my goat is that the major chains are too afraid of losing
