No, he should abide by the property owners rules.

Was there a rule in this store requiring a mask?

NO! I shop there.

What store was it?

People need to stop claiming, into their own echo chamber, that Youngkin was deliberately not wearing a mask in defiance of a mask requirement at Safeway. This is the Safeway at the Bermuda Triangle of Quaker/King/Braddock next to Bradlee Shopping Center. It looks like a space ship or something out of Star Wars. If you are familiar with Alexandria you know exactly where tis is.

There is NO mask requirement for this grocery store. None. There used to be a sign that asked you to wear a mask if you hadn't been vaccinated, but I don't know if that has been taken down. Regardless, Youngkin has already publicly stated he is vaccinated. He didn't have to wear a mask there. People need to unclench and let go.

I was at two Aldis today, the one on Monroe in Del Ray and the one on Duke near Foxchase. Both had small signs you could barely see inside that said masks were encouraged if you weren't vaccinated. There is no mask mandate in Alexandria. Businesses I believe can require masks, but most are NOT doing it. Please stop the insanity with just assuming there are mask requirements or that all Alexandrians wear masks. Screaming at each other, shaming people, it's pitiful.

Well, I mean if there is no mask required in the store I'm certain that Covid will abide by that and politely stay outside so that the good shoppers of Alexandria are safe.

DP. It certainly was safe enough for all the masked people to take off their masks and eat lunch together - laughing and talking while sitting right next to one another. I guess Covid knows when the masks are on and when they’re off. So curious.

that wasn't the issue and it isn't the issue. People claiming that the Bradless Center Safeway has a mask requirement and that the Governor wasn't abiding by it. Not whether there was covid in Safeway (FYI in 2022 you should just assume there will be covid anywhere and everywhere). You twist yourself in knots to find something wrong. I'm sorry you want everyone to be wearing masks in Safeway. Safeway doesn't require it. So you are free to not shop there and go somewhere else that does require shoppers to mask up. You will be hard pressed to find a grocery store in Alexandria that actually does require masks. I know of none.

A little bit of trivia: Albertsons owns Safeway, and it also owns Balduccis. I was at the OT Balduccis a week ago (against my better judgment, their prices are insane), and several of their employees weren't wearing masks, in addition to all the elderly people who shop there.

And as for the 2 Aldis I went to today, I saw several instacart shoppers shopping at both locations, none were wearing masks. Breathing all over your groceries I guess.

Again, masks are about simple curtesy and concern for others during a pandemic, store requirement or not. I don't think people who are pointing out his not wearing a mask are really splitting hairs over the store requirement, they are calling him out for not giving a crap about his constituents.

That’s how you CHOOSE to interpret his not wearing a mask. That is not how everyone views it. I for one would appreciate the “courtesy and concern” from your side of being left alone to make the choices I want to make.

No, those who will not wear a mask for the 30 minutes or so that they are in a store are selfish people. Do you honestly believe Youngkin became a rich man because he cares about anyone but himself? He is just as self centered as the rest of MAGA folks the only difference being he has accomplished something with his life but that didn't make a better person.

But it was all good theater for his supporters.

Nope, I disagree with you. But I understand why it’s very important for you to think that.

I wish you types who angrily pass judgement, condemn, and make up stories about folks you don’t know would understand something. You claim to “care for people”, yet your words and, at times, your actions don’t say that at all.

Sure but it makes him a giant douche not to when everyone around him is. Sociopath.

There was at least one other person unmasked in the video, and -- based on what I've seen in grocery stores in NoVa -- likely more outside of the video's frame. But go on ahead with your mature name calling.

Every grocery store I’ve been to in the Alexandria area has a sign on the doors asking patrons to wear masks. Remember all the “supply chain issues” this winter? They were actually labor supply issues. Too many people out sick. He is a tool. Now go clutch your pearls because I called him a mean name.

That's right. Asking. Not requiring.

Correct. And ignoring the request make you a douche. You’re finally understanding.

DP. You’re making a fool of yourself by lobbing insults at normal, rational people. You are clearly anything but. I’m sitting in a salon - in Alexandria - right now and some people are masked, some aren’t. No one is yelling at anyone and everyone is fine. I wonder how you manage in polite society. Must be exhausting to be around you.

I don't approach people in a store about not wearing a mask I'm just letting you know what people generally think of you. If you are ok with folks believing that you are a selfish tool that is fine by me but nothing you have said in defense of it has made change my mind about the type of person you likely are. It is actually kinda nice seeing a person in public and knowing right away that I have absolutely nothing in common with them at all. I don't need to pretend and be polite to you, I won't let you go first, I don't feel compelled to show you the slightest bit of respect or courtesy at all because you feel that you are entitled to it.

So strange, because I treat people with respect no matter how they’re dressed. Don’t worry about me-I think I’ll manage just fine in spite of your strong disapproval!

Same with Stacey Abrams, right? A women in her risk category should not be unmasked. Really ever.

Prepare for your comment to be deleted. Stacey Abrams is off limits and can do no wrong.

Yup, that always seemed silly to me too but it is still best to mitigate when it is pretty easy to do so. I mean, certainly there is some middle ground to be had otherwise restaurants would be closed for good more than have already closed, but that doesn't mean you don't wear a mask indoors when it otherwise makes sense to do so.

There is hypocrisy all over the place. How many MAGA types post memes about playing in dirt as a kid "building their natural immunity" but somehow because a mask you wear in the store is just "too filthy" to build natural immunity?

People are not good at assessing their actual level of risk if they were good at it we wouldn't need seatbelt laws and even more frightening we wouldn't need laws for car seats for children. People honestly argued that it would be safer to be thrown clear from the car than wear a seatbelt. How many times did someone have to call an ambulance moments after some well adjusted adult who knew the risk and properly assessed their own ability said "hold my beer"?

Me. Since you're so nosy (and sounds snobby) I needed to buy a bunch of gatorade for several sports teams. You can get an 8 pack for $5 which is almost half the price anywhere else and they have the flavors the kids requested. What's wrong with Aldi? You're too good for it?

I have nothing against Aldi but I'm sure you left shopping carts all over their parking lot though.

When you take up two parking spaces is it because you suck at backing in or is it because you just don't care?

There is no mask mandate in Alexandria. Businesses I believe can require masks, but most are NOT doing it. Please stop the insanity with just assuming there are mask requirements or that all Alexandrians wear masks. Screaming at each other, shaming people, it's pitiful.

Well, I mean if there is no mask required in the store I'm certain that Covid will abide by that and politely stay outside so that the good shoppers of Alexandria are safe.

that wasn't the issue and it isn't the issue. People claiming that the Bradless Center Safeway has a mask requirement and that the Governor wasn't abiding by it. Not whether there was covid in Safeway (FYI in 2022 you should just assume there will be covid anywhere and everywhere). You twist yourself in knots to find something wrong. I'm sorry you want everyone to be wearing masks in Safeway. Safeway doesn't require it. So you are free to not shop there and go somewhere else that does require shoppers to mask up. You will be hard pressed to find a grocery store in Alexandria that actually does require masks. I know of none.

A little bit of trivia: Albertsons owns Safeway, and it also owns Balduccis. I was at the OT Balduccis a week ago (against my better judgment, their prices are insane), and several of their employees weren't wearing masks, in addition to all the elderly people who shop there.

And as for the 2 Aldis I went to today, I saw several instacart shoppers shopping at both locations, none were wearing masks. Breathing all over your groceries I guess.

Again, masks are about simple curtesy and concern for others during a pandemic, store requirement or not. I don't think people who are pointing out his not wearing a mask are really splitting hairs over the store requirement, they are calling him out for not giving a crap about his constituents.

That’s how you CHOOSE to interpret his not wearing a mask. That is not how everyone views it. I for one would appreciate the “courtesy and concern” from your side of being left alone to make the choices I want to make.

I don't approach people in a store about not wearing a mask I'm just letting you know what people generally think of you. If you are ok with folks believing that you are a selfish tool that is fine by me but nothing you have said in defense of it has made change my mind about the type of person you likely are. It is actually kinda nice seeing a person in public and knowing right away that I have absolutely nothing in common with them at all. I don't need to pretend and be polite to you, I won't let you go first, I don't feel compelled to show you the slightest bit of respect or courtesy at all because you feel that you are entitled to it.

So strange, because I treat people with respect no matter how they’re dressed. Don’t worry about me-I think I’ll manage just fine in spite of your strong disapproval!

When you can't be bothered to wear a mask inside during a pandemic you are not showing any respect to anyone.

Sure but it makes him a giant douche not to when everyone around him is. Sociopath.

There was at least one other person unmasked in the video, and -- based on what I've seen in grocery stores in NoVa -- likely more outside of the video's frame. But go on ahead with your mature name calling.

Every grocery store I’ve been to in the Alexandria area has a sign on the doors asking patrons to wear masks. Remember all the “supply chain issues” this winter? They were actually labor supply issues. Too many people out sick. He is a tool. Now go clutch your pearls because I called him a mean name.

That's right. Asking. Not requiring.

Correct. And ignoring the request make you a douche. You’re finally understanding.

DP. You’re making a fool of yourself by lobbing insults at normal, rational people. You are clearly anything but. I’m sitting in a salon - in Alexandria - right now and some people are masked, some aren’t. No one is yelling at anyone and everyone is fine. I wonder how you manage in polite society. Must be exhausting to be around you.

Does the salon request patrons wear masks? If not I don’t see the problem—if so, YTA. Sorry!

Quite the day for the oppressed person. Picking up lots of gatorade for the teams and going to the beauty salon. I'm sure Chad will get an earful about how hectic your day was when he gets home from the office.

Is he also free to ignore no shirt/no shoes/no service signs?

No, he should abide by the property owners rules.

Was there a rule in this store requiring a mask?

NO! I shop there.

What store was it?

People need to stop claiming, into their own echo chamber, that Youngkin was deliberately not wearing a mask in defiance of a mask requirement at Safeway. This is the Safeway at the Bermuda Triangle of Quaker/King/Braddock next to Bradlee Shopping Center. It looks like a space ship or something out of Star Wars. If you are familiar with Alexandria you know exactly where tis is.

There is NO mask requirement for this grocery store. None. There used to be a sign that asked you to wear a mask if you hadn't been vaccinated, but I don't know if that has been taken down. Regardless, Youngkin has already publicly stated he is vaccinated. He didn't have to wear a mask there. People need to unclench and let go.

Who goes to multiple Aldis in a day?

Me. Since you're so nosy (and sounds snobby) I needed to buy a bunch of gatorade for several sports teams. You can get an 8 pack for $5 which is almost half the price anywhere else and they have the flavors the kids requested. What's wrong with Aldi? You're too good for it?

I have nothing against Aldi but I'm sure you left shopping carts all over their parking lot though.

When you take up two parking spaces is it because you suck at backing in or is it because you just don't care?

Ahh the fiction writer has returned! She knows more about you than apparently you do!

I also think your Aldi shopping cart comment is hilarious because everyone knows you put the cart back so you can get your quarter back.

No, those who will not wear a mask for the 30 minutes or so that they are in a store are selfish people. Do you honestly believe Youngkin became a rich man because he cares about anyone but himself? He is just as self centered as the rest of MAGA folks the only difference being he has accomplished something with his life but that didn't make a better person.

But it was all good theater for his supporters.

Nope, I disagree with you. But I understand why it’s very important for you to think that.

I wish you types who angrily pass judgement, condemn, and make up stories about folks you don’t know would understand something. You claim to “care for people”, yet your words and, at times, your actions don’t say that at all.

+100
And “theater for his supporters”? So bizarre. Normal people don’t call that theater. The PP needs therapy.

It wasn't theater? Can anyone claim that Youngkin has been a regular at that store?

What are you talking about? Politicians make appearances all over the place. This was no different. Masks are not mandated there. Not sure why you can’t grasp this fact. The more you make of this nothingburger, the more idiotic you appear.
