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.

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.

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.

Sorry you need the quarter.

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.

Again, not everyone ascribes the same importance to the mask as you do.

I'm aware. You don't ascribe any importance to other people, that is what I have conveyed and you have not really disputed.

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.

Sorry you need the quarter.

LOL Nothing says “I’m a decent person” like insulting someone based on where they shop! Im also confused-are you upset I return the cart? I thought you really hated people who leave them in the parking lot.

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.

Can you imagine the earful her stylist gets?

Wait a minute; I'm the poster that shops at Aldi to get gatorade. I still don't understand what is wrong with shopping at Aldi? Why would I leave my shopping carts in the parking lot; that makes zero sense, especially since you need to get the quarter back. Heck yeah I want my quarter. So let me get this straight: it's ok and perfectly acceptable to make fun of people who are trying to save money as well as jeer and yell at people who are not wearing masks in grocery stores even though masks aren't required. Um, ok.

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.

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.

+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.

DP.

And he looked like a major DB to show up there without a mask.

Known thy constituents.

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.

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.

Again, not everyone ascribes the same importance to the mask as you do.

I'm aware. You don't ascribe any importance to other people, that is what I have conveyed and you have not really disputed.

You’re free to interpret what I’ve said in any way you’d like, so there’s really nothing to dispute! All I’ve been telling you is not everyone thinks like you. Is this news to you?

Where have I argued that? I simply have said that it is my belief that people who can't be bothered to wear a mask for 30 minutes in a grocery store are self centered and selfish.

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.

Sorry you need the quarter.

LOL Nothing says “I’m a decent person” like insulting someone based on where they shop! Im also confused-are you upset I return the cart? I thought you really hated people who leave them in the parking lot.

Wait a minute; I'm the poster that shops at Aldi to get gatorade. I still don't understand what is wrong with shopping at Aldi? Why would I leave my shopping carts in the parking lot; that makes zero sense, especially since you need to get the quarter back. Heck yeah I want my quarter. So let me get this straight: it's ok and perfectly acceptable to make fun of people who are trying to save money as well as jeer and yell at people who are not wearing masks in grocery stores even though masks aren't required. Um, ok.

I’m the immediate PP and I’m Team Aldi for life!

I think there are a lot of not very nice people out there who think slapping on a mask automatically makes them a “good person.” The true colors always come out though. The same folks were probably nasty about other things before Covid even started.

Now, now hold on, I have gone on record for saying I have no concern for the well being or feelings of people who can't be bothered to wear their masks when they go into a store for a brief period of time.

Right, sorry, you went to multiple Aldi's today so yeah you're gonna want your .75 cents back.

Did you ever ask yourself why Aldi charges for the cart and promises your money back for its return in the first place? I hope you enjoy your "Because of all the Selfish Twats Tax" they charge you because inconsiderate people leave their carts all over parking lots.

Slapping a mask on for a brief period of time is a small ask and one that a self centered person is incapable of fulfilling. I don't know the heart and soul of mask wearers but those who simply can't be bothered speak loud and clear.

No-it’s not my “actions” plural. It’s apparently one action that you’ve decided is important above all others. People are multifaceted, but you seem to only understand black and white. Lots of people do amazing things every day, yet you reduce them down to whether or not they’re wearing a mask. It’s such a small minded and parochial mindset.

And as much time as you’ve spent trying to point out my “awfulness”, to the extent that you’ve invented stories about me, I really think a lot of people here have learned a bit about you too.
