(21,303 posts)Local stores require their employees to wear masks now, but not customers. In some stores, customers wear them. In others, almost nobody. Our infection rate in this area is high (7.8%).
I get glares, raised eyebrows, and snickers for wearing a mask, but no verbal comments, yet. In line at checkouts, often a no masker crowds right up to me and I motion them back or ask them to move. They roll their eyes at me, but usually back up.
Our local newspaper website has a few dedicated anti maskers, anti vaxxers that ridicule every pro mask, pro vaccine comment. The nonsense they post is incredible, like they are DeSantis clones, but this is NY
The people who annoy me most are in my apartment complex. Our elevator is SMALL. They try to get on with me, no mask. I take the stairs if necessary, all 5 floors.
