So sorry Gato. I'm in western Washington state and it sounds the same. I do not wear mask at grocery store or Costco now and usually get away with it. Can you try that there? What happens? Restaurants are the worst. They are usually VERY strict. So weird. We don't go anymore, even it it's not a vax pass place. The vet clinics are also horrible. Worse than the dentist, which is cray-cray strict.
