I don’t like assholes. I generally won’t make excuses for them.

Not too difficult to get, right?I share that opinion.OP, I am sorry that you have to endure this. People can be awful ^&%@s and about half of the population is miserable and will do anything that they can to cause others pain.The love he receives is the love that is saved0 -
I'm curious about where this store is. (state, city/suburbs/rural...) I go to exactly one grocery store now (Lunds in Highland Park for those who know the Twin Cities; I used to rotate a couple others in). Why? Because the adherence to the mask mandate is 99.99%. On most trips, I don't even see a nose out. It's amazing and as I'm trying to get through the last few months to my vaccination, this is the environment I want to be in. Then I go to Target and I see noses out all over, a customer pulling her mask down to complain at the cashier, and I get a taste of what I would bet is going on at most stores these days.
God people like the OP is talking about piss me off. We're just trying to get through (speaking for myself, anyway) to the point where we've all had the opportunity to be vaccinated and these people are endangering us out of displaced anger and spite. And not an ounce of compassion for the people who spend their full days coming in contact with the public. You want to scream that restaurants should be open and those rights supersede trying to combat this, fine. But to openly risk exposure to provide a point and to be so (willfully, in my opinion) ignorant is just fucked up and these are not good people.1995 Milwaukee 1998 Alpine, Alpine 2003 Albany, Boston, Boston, Boston 2004 Boston, Boston 2006 Hartford, St. Paul (Petty), St. Paul (Petty) 2011 Alpine, Alpine

With all due respect and sympathy to the families and friends of people who have lost loved ones to COVID, to me one of the worst things that has happened during this pandemic, and honestly even before it, is the loss of empathy that people have. Many people just don't care how their actions affect others. No one wants to wear a mask or social distance, but when you realize that you have the potential to infect someone and not even know you are doing it, it should guide how you act. I get that a lot of people don't like wearing masks, but they are really not the burden that people make them out to be. My experience is that most of the people I am around that don't wear them do so because they won't be told what to do.0

The (our?) repercussions of this will be felt in ways and by some we have no clue about.
Common sense seems to be missing from many of these scenarios. Fortunately, compassion still finds its way in there. Kudos to your wife for actually caring and doing something where she can. Not many are so generous with themselves...or can be.0 -
