Stopped shopping at Costco back in May when they started their silly mask rules out of protest since they demanded masks back when the CDC was saying masks do nothing. Kept the credit card and spent on it for the rewards through 12/31/2020. I've cut it up. Keeping my membership until March when I can cash out the rewards. Yeah I'll have to go to the store to do it and wear a mask, but i'll wear the silly ski mask into the store for 5 minutes to walk out with hundreds in cash from the credit card reward.
Was just at Sam's club. Been shopping there and telling their little mask nazi at the door that I have a medical condition since they instituted masks in July. That's been fine, but the manager stopped me at the register today and informed me they have a new policy, if you don't wear a mask you have to wear a face shield in the store. I just told her that I'd cancel my membership over the phone and they'd never get another cent of my money.
Side note, after I walked into Sam's today some agitated black man was behind me obviously trying to get a reaction from me yellin' and hollerin about "This [bleep]*cka think it OK to walk up in heruh wit no mask! That mothaf*cka ain't got no mask!" etc. etc. I didn't bother to acknowledge his existence and he didn't bother to follow me around the store.
So answer me this, if masks work why is the black death 19 still spreading?
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

Been saying this for months. Maybe people tugging at masks is the cause of the spread.

I've been saying since they mandated masks that doing so would cause people to touch their face a whole lot more and spread it, since respiratory viruses are most commonly spread by touching your face. As Fauci said, masks give a false sense of security. That's going to cause people to wash/sanitize their hands less and cover their cough less. Hell, the WI dept. of health said for the 2020-2021 flu season you should do three things to prevent the spread of the flu: 1) Wash hands often 2) Cover cough with your elbow 3) Stay home if feeling ill No mention of masks to prevent the spread of the respiratory virus (flu). I'm not saying it's a conspiracy, but it's a conspiracy.

Even if masks did work, the way they're used is nonsense. Also, a handkerchief or Home Depot dust mask is a joke when it comes to diseases.

A "face covering" Folks are wearing those neck gaiters even, then they can just pull them up when entering a place requiring them. At times, I just tie a bandana around my neck and go all "bank robber" on them.

Bigfish,
any reason you don't just shop online?
I mean, Costco, Sam's, etc are not the only ones requiring a mask. Perhaps in your area they enforce it more strongly, but even here in one of the reddest parts of our State (72% Trump) where we don't have those stores, our local companies/stores/businesses are posting signs to wear a mask as required.
We do have a local business that is NOT requiring their employees to wear masks, and not requiring the customers to wear them either.
If you enjoy the benefits you get from your card, and can get the items online, why not do so?
