I'm visiting a small town, a generally red area, but with some very blue parts due to a local university.
I went into a gaming store today for some Christmas shopping. The door said "Masks Required" but I assumed it had just been left up. I enter and the proprietor says, "Masks are in the box." I say, "Oh, masks are still required?" Answer, yes.
I turn to my kid and say, "Ok, we'll go back out."
As I turn to leave, the owner immediately gets upset and yells "Well EXCUSE ME for not wanting to die. I'm immunocompromised, I want to stay healthy, THANKS FOR CARING."
It's worth noting that the owner appeared to be some non-binary blobfish of a human. Honestly no idea if he or she. If s/he REALLY wanted to be healthy, xer would lose about 75 lbs.
That's pretty much the craziest covid interaction I've ever had.
In faux concern say "oh my god why aren't you wearing an n95?! you're immunocompromised for god's sake!" If they're wearing an n95, why aren't they wearing an n100? "I'm not patronizing this store if you can't even take your own health seriously."
Shame them into having to wear an actually uncomfortable mask every day so others can see what a psycho they are.
If "xer" wore a n95 he would be like a hundred times more protected than all customers wearing a surgeon mask, but that would be taking personal responsibility for their own self.
Anything without a static pressure fan pushing air through a hepa filter is pointless really. "If xe really cared about xer health it's a PAPR or nothing."
