Could be worse. He could have an attitude like yours. You do realize you’re parroting the logic used by anti-maskers, right?

I would assume that the OP would theoretically be helping to pay for the Big City U.

A bit of an odd attitude.  I’m guessing our 19-year-old still lives with his parents and has no means for paying for his own college.  You’re right, if he wants to strike off on his own and pay his own way in life, more power to him.  If he’s living with his parents and depending on them, is it so unreasonable to you…

The bar told everybody to wear them, so they only need to be three feet.

I don’t work at Best Buy, but a different department store, and while also in a mask mandated state, were told by corporate that we weren’t to actually turn anyone away or ask that somebody wear one.  It sucks.

I work in a store, I wear my mask properly all day long. It sucks, but I do it. The majority of cashiers I’ve dealt with at other stores though? Firmly under their nose. It’s really frustrating. I get it, wearing a mask for 8 hours a day (or more) is uncomfortable, but I do what needs to be done.  I’m in contact with…

Unless you’re being tested daily then you have no way of knowing whether you’re sick. People who contract the virus can be contagious for five to fourteen days without ever exhibiting any symptoms, and some people never exhibit any symptoms (and are nonetheless contagious). Choosing not to wear a mask is choosing to…

IF you’re not sick. We just spent a week with our daughter home from college. She wasn’t sick. And the weekend prior she spent with 6 of her friends. None of them was sick. As of today 5 of the girls are sick and have tested positive for COVID, yes, including our little darling. While she was home and wasn’t sick, she…

It’s not just unwilling employees. I work in a grocery store in southern WI, a largely retired cottage industry community, and while unwilling employees are a part of the problem we get a lot of customers who simply don’t wear masks, don’t respect any kind of social distancing stand idle in the same spot to chit chat…

Wearing your mask under your nose is like wearing your underwear under your junk. Defeats the purpose.

I knew that women weren’t allowed in bars historically and that some bars had booths with doors so women could have a drink with their male companions without being seen, but I had no idea TGI Friday’s was the first bar to welcome single women.  I have a whole new respect for them now.

I stopped using the apps around the beginning of all of this, and started ordering direct from the restaurant and picking it up myself. Beyond the financial benefit for the restaurant I figured:

At the beginning of this I used either UberEats or DoorDash almost daily because I wanted to support my local restaurants and most weren’t set up with online ordering and/or delivery. Now that we’re 18 months into this (feels that way), I see that most have now added online ordering and delivery capability so I’ve…

Amazingly, when you are dealing with a brand new virus that has never been on earth before there is a learning process. Also, it had to do with hoarding.

As someone who has delivered for them in the past, I can guarantee they wasted nobody’s time.

Are you sure?

You know what, I have to agree. I want to make it clear that I am doing what is expected of me in our society and I wear a mask when I leave the house. However, I am frustrated at the messaging surrounding masks. I remember vividly in March when the Surgeon General made a full announcement saying not to wear masks. So…

The problem is that the lack of guidance has absolutely nothing to do with those shouting FREEDOM from the rooftops. It is because of the FREEDOM that specific stores and other places have to put signage requiring masks if you want to be there. They are taking it a step further because they have to. It’s not about…

I know the messaging has been at times chaotic, but...
