Well I admit I did wear a mask initially because where I was, you would get thrown out for not wearing one and I refuse to shop online for groceries. That’s just as bad imo, marginalizing people and making them stay out of stores. It should always be my choice to pick out my own produce or whether I prefer to have someone else do it. When the rules became more relaxed and the mandates went away, stores still supposedly required them but by then I also knew enough and had bad enough experiences with masks (high blood pressure spikes for one) to refuse and by then stores were less gung ho about applying the policy. I still got yelled at but it didn’t go any further. My parents were refused service at the only grocery store in their town when they didn’t mask and didn’t have a delivery option. So it’s not always that easy and that’s why I think we need to push lawmakers to codify this, so that businesses cannot require it and health departments won’t have that power either.
