So this is a side note from my previous post.
The decision to not wear a mask is 2 fold:
1. Refusing to participate in the fear mongering that our Tyrant is doing in order to keep power.
2. Knowing that wearing a mask is useless right now.
Now, our decision to not go to our favorite store comes from the fact that the store is private property. They get to set the rules for their property. If they require a mask, we will respect that decision and feel no animosity toward them. We will return when they lift the stupid rule that was forced on them.
We will not comply with the mask edict from our Tyrant, but we will respect the business, so we simply will not go.
The funny thing is that other stores have been requiring a mask for a while now, but no one has said "boo" about us not wearing one. But should that happen:
1. If it's another customer, they will be told in no uncertain terms were to stick it and I will not be polite about it.
2. If it's a store employee, we will be polite, refuse and continue on our way through the store.
3. If the store director asks us to leave, we will do so respectfully, and quietly. We may never be back or we might come back the next day.
But we will never comply with arbitrary, baseless, useless demands from Tyrants.
