Total Wine store Tucson Park Place Mall, Friday, 1530. This store, has mostly not done stupid things in the past year. On Friday I had already made my selections and was headed to the checkout, when I had a mask-ken manager began to follow me, telling me to put on a mask. I told him no thank you. I told him the governor lifted the mask mandate. I asked him if he wanted me to leave. I told him to stop being an asshole.
As I was checking out, still mask free, he confronted me again and said I would no longer be allowed to come into the store if I didn't put on a mask. I completed my purchase and left. You see, Total Wine has a toll-free corporate complaint line and they answer the phone quickly. The phone guy was very receptive and said they were receiving a bunch of complaints. Their mask communism is a nation wide corporate policy. I suggested that they fix it and they are placing their managers in a dangerous place, trying to enforce a rule that isn't based on current statistics or any science. I also asked him what numbers or time frame would be needed to stop this foolishness, or if they intended to continue this forever. I also pointed out that telling me what useless face covering I needed is no different than telling me what hat to wear, or what color shirt would be allowed in the store, and that the policy was purely discriminatory. If people don't complain and make these people uncomfortable, this will never end.  ETA: Costco, also had not played stupid games like this, until the week the governor lifted the mandate. I made it the length of the store before a manager came running over to tell me to put on a mask. |

Why did you even waste your breath on calling? They can do whatever they please. And no it’s not discriminatory.
You know how you effect change? Stop shopping there. |

I bitched about them only having wine coupons. They now have coupons and member discounts for other things. Apparently they listen. Yes, it is discriminatory.

Shoulda stocked up yer cart and left it in the checkout line since they really don't want your money. But, good job showing them by calling a customer complaint line that doesn't care about your opinion.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only time Costco ever fucked with me was the week the gov ended the restrictions. It was probably a virtuously dedicated liberal manager that sucked Huckleballs, wanting to keep the doom and control machine ramped up. In previous months, there were always a good amount of people without masks. At the end of all this, the sheep are very well conditioned and maskholes are everywhere. It is only the liberal areas that care about masks, like Pima County and Tucson. Where I live, all the stores are maskless to include employees. No plexiglass or anything. What really sucks, is that I want to take the kids to the desert museum, zoo, aquarium in Phoenix, and other places, but I refuse to put a mask on my kids, or myself. Wife feels the same as I do |

Went to two Home Depots maskless to observe lumber inventory and search for fence pickets. I walked mask free in both stores with no issues at all. The cages their employees work in are ridiculous.
Successfully acquired fence pickets:  I went to a Total Wine on Oracle, same parking lot as the Home D, walked maskless by at least 5 uniformed employees, and checked out without a peep. Peeps need to get the ball rolling or the Fauci parishioners will try to keep us masked forever. |

I asked the zoo and desert museum if they discriminate against those who cannot wear one for medical reasons. The aquarium said they don’t discriminate against anyone and will allow us to go as normal humans. ERP, I’d you are ever in the Sonoita area, hit me up |

I was wearing one at Safeway in CG because they asked - I stopped two trips ago and not one person has said squat. Went to a Dollar General with HUGE "Mask Required" sign - the only people NOT masked in the store were the employees. No more face panties for me.

I went to two shops yesterday. At one shop they asked us if we would feel more comfortable if they wore masks. We donned masks before entering. Conditioning.
I said, Fuck no. The guy laughed. We pulled the snot rags off. This shit is getting old. |

I went to Walmart and Ace today. They took down all their signs, all their changes in the flow of traffic. The vast majority of employees were not wearing masks. There are people with two year olds, masks on their faces, standing next to Walmart employee not wearing a mask. The amount of people who wear masks outside here baffles me. Outside, by themselves, or in their car, by themselves wearing a mask

There is no more mask mandate. The Governor got rid of it over a month ago. Then, the CDC, who everyone bases their policies on, said no more masks.

If people are fully vaccinated then why do they care if non-vaccinated people don't wear masks? It is not about a virus, it is about control, and the great division continues.

I just reply " No thanks I want to live". When they answer back mask is for that. I just say not according to my doctor for me. That normally stops them. If they if push it past that I say that I have been recovering from pneumonia and that mask promotes concentration of things that will kill me. By that point they normally have decided that I know more than them and run away.

Went to the Office Max last week to get shipping supplies to mail an AR upper. Typical “masks required” signs out front. Ignored them and went inside (maskless of course) and found the supplies I needed. As I was walking towards the cashier an elderly couple walked in maskless as well. An employee immediately intercepted them with a box of masks in her hand. She asked them to mask up and they politely refused. She then asked for them to leave. I’m feet away and cashing out and the cashier said nothing to me. Paid and as I was walking out I heard them conversing about kicking the old couple out. Sad really.

Selective enforcement like this just further shows how much BS it all is. The likelihood of a "mask enforcer" to engage someone into compliance seems to correlate directly with how little resistance they expect to encounter. Ends up being a product of perceived disparity in situational dominance/authority between the enforcer and the "offender". The greater the "fuck around and find out" vibe that one effectively projects, the less likely they are to challenged. It's a dynamic that plays out continuously in all areas of social interaction, not just with respect to mask-nazis. |

No more masks at the county range. Went on Sunday, a lighter than normal crowd was present with no wait times. Only two shooters in the place had a mask on. They did have a sign that said "no mask required for the fully vaccinated" but nobody asked or checked anything.
Went to a couple grocers over the weekend and Serial Grillers. It appears their management is forcing employees to continue to mask, no requirement for customers. |

I was just in the El-Costco off I10 in Tucson. Greeter had no mask, none on employees, about 1/3 of the patrons had them on. Progress. Motherfuckers no longer carry Grey Poupon, so it is truly a store of the poors.
 
Went to a Great Clips on Valencia and Nexus last night and they would not let me in without a mask, even though their corporate said the shit was over. Just the in store Karens trying to keep it going. I told them that it was no longer necessary and I left. Went to my usual Sport Clips today, no masks on employees, none required. Almost back to normal. As I mentioned, if you don't complain and give bad reviews, these assholes will keep this up forever, and won't be afraid to do it again at the next plandemic. |

Something interesting I noticed here in Casa Grande. There are more and more people going mask free, but what is REALLY interesting is about 10% of those with freedom face are also carrying openly. MUCh higher percentage than I used to see since we went CCW in 1994 and Constitutional Carry in 2010. It's almost like they are making a statement, you think?
