Encountered my second maskhole today, this time at the grocery store
This maskhole starts SCREAMING, and I do mean all caps SCREAMING that he didn't want to wear a mask and that he didn't have to wear a mask because he had a MEDICAL CAAAAARD.
Oh hell no...this front line lady wasn't having *ANY* of it. "Security" (which was the big stock boys in the back.) Oh no, no one, no body, no THING was messing with the little old lady at the front counting people and masking sure masks were being worn.
This man was not given the chance to put on a mask. He was told to leave and not to come back that day. He wanted a manager.
Manager comes out and says not to come back that day, and if he gave Ms Little Old Lady any more grief, he'd bar him from the store forever.
The whole thing took only like five minutes, but it was really heartening to see that folk around here (I am in a very red section of the blue state of Maryland) care whether or not masks are being worn.
Sounds like a democrat.

1. If it wasn't for Baltimore, Montgomery County, and PG County, Maryland would be a red state
I live in Damascus, in Montgomery County, but barely. It is a red area of the county

That sounds pretty damned Slavic to me. Perhaps not actually Russian, but definitely from that part of the world.

It wasn't always this way

10. I had my own encounter with one today
I was at a supermarket where masks are mandatory for entry. Some people remove their masks after entering the store, however; I believe workers have been instructed not to tell anyone to put on their masks after they’re already in the store. I was scouring the picked-over shelves for an over-the-counter medication in the pharmacy when a middle-aged white woman, not wearing a mask, came into the aisle and got really close. Her daughter and toddler, both without masks, stayed at the end of the aisle with a shopping cart. She persisted in getting up in my space while I tried to keep distance between us.
She finally called to her daughter, “is there anything else you can think of that we need?”
Impulsively, I replied, “how about face masks?”
As she was inflating her lungs with the air to tell me off, I pulled out my phone, held it up and said, “action! You’re gonna be the next big star on YouTube!” She deflated her sails, turned on her heels, and immediately departed the aisle.
What an asshole.

22. Good report from northern WI.
My county (Lincoln) is one of a handful of WI counties whose Sheriff announced that they would not be enforcing Governor Evers (Dem) mask policy.
Well, I'm glad to report that the stores in my town ALL have notices on the doors that say masks MUST be worn. Most of the eateries too, and also the Library.
It's a big 'go **** yourself' message to Bunker Boy and the Sheriff.
Mark my words, we'll remember that Sheriff's name on election day, too - that's for sure.

26. If you actually have a medical condition that keeps you from wearing a mask
then stay the **** home.

I thought they were going to ask me to leave Kroger yesterday. One of their workers followed me around with a box of masks and when I stopped to grab some bread he asked me if I had a mask. I told him, no. He raised one up to me and said here. He was cheerful and friendly. I politely declined by simply telling him I was ok.
He told me it was required in the store so I asked "are you asking me to leave the store?" He said "I didn't say that, but a mask is required in the store." I asked again if he was asking me to leave the store and he replied again that he was not. After a third round like that I said "Ok, well I have to finish my shopping so I can get back to work", and I did. I got all the stuff I needed and checked out without another person saying anything to me.
I did stay socially distanced the whole time I was shopping, I don't mind doing that even when people aren't freaked out.

That sounds pretty damned Slavic ghetto to me. Perhaps not actually Russian Compton, but definitely from that part of the hood.
You see DUmmies, this is what happens when you make an assumption about a person based on merely hearing their name.

I would call these Maskies, not Bouncies... but I think this shit is really happening.

WTF? Where does this idiot live, Venezuela? I haven't seen any empty shelves in quite awhile except for the ammo shelves at Rural King.

Yeah, as lies go, it's a pretty stupid one. About the only thing unavailable that I've noticed is the disinfecting wipes. And that's because demand has sextupled and the things are made from the same material as many masks and gowns, the demand for which has also multiplied.

I am pretty sure I would have replied to that "how about you go f*** yourself and mind your own business?"

Or the Hispanic food aisle with Goya products recently. My local store was wiped out. Fighting back by buying.

And a maskhole jumped out of the bushes....
