Was there a rule in this store requiring a mask? [/quote] NO! I shop there.[/quote] What store was it?[/quote] 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.[/quote] 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. [/quote] 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. [/quote] Who goes to multiple Aldis in a day? [/quote] 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?[/quote] 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?[/quote] 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. :D [/quote] Sorry you need the quarter. [/quote] 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. [/quote] 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. [/quote] You just keep revealing who you are more and more…[/quote] Yeah, you don't wear a mask in a grocery store you don't deserve the nice me. I have stated clearly what I think of you as a person. Yes, I don't like you. [/quote] Are you sure there is a nice version of you?[/quote] Wear a mask and find out. [/quote] The funny thing is you’re judging me based on whether or not I follow the made up rules in your head. I’m judging you based on your words and conduct throughout this thread. I’d bet the rent that my assessment is much more accurate than yours![/quote] I'm not judging you based on rules, I have said repeatedly I am judging you on what is a simple courtesy. There are other behaviors that you could exhibit in public that I would draw the same conclusion from, many of those things I've stated already. I have not accused anyone of breaking any rules. When I see you without a mask on I just assume that you are likely to do any number of things on the list of things that selfish jerks do. You know, things like not flushing a public toilet, leaving paper towels on the ground, leaving your Starbucks cup in the parking lot, leaving your car in front of the gas pump at a busy station while you go in the store to buy something because you think the gas pump is a parking space, believing the Handicapped parking space is also your personal 5 minute loading zone, and walking into a store 5 minutes before closing not knowing what you even want. You know any or all of these things is what I think you are more than likely to do because they are things jerks do. [/quote] NP. See this is where you lose me. You just ASSUME these other behaviors so you can use your baseless assumptions to justify something that is at best a courtesy at this point. If there was a mandate, statewide or business specific, and the poster refused to wear one, then I’d say, yeah, that’s a crappy move. But without a mandate, without a specific requirement, you don’t get to just set the parameters for what is acceptable based on your own rules because they make YOU feel better. Mask away all you want. I still do at times based on where I am and what I feel comfortable with, but I don’t demand everyone else wear one or call others names for not wearing one because of my own rule book. You’ve just made up a bunch of crap in your head to justify your own assumption (that is not based on science or fact) and expect people to go along with it. [/quote] Nothing in my list, other than illegally parking in a handicapped spot, is against any "rule" or "mandate" either. It is simply a courtesy that people do in polite society. When we reach ENDEMIC numbers I'm cool with whatever, but we are not there yet. The point is you are not being a considerate person if the only way you will do the smart or proper thing is only if there is a mandate to do so. Considerate people will continue to mask up while we still have high numbers because they are thinking of other people above their own temporary convenience. Good/considerate people do the right or good thing without being compelled to do so. There is no rule that you can't leave your car parked in front of gas pump while you go in and order your coffee or whatever either, even if the pumps are all taken, but good and considerate people do that all the time. There is no rule that requires you to flush a friggin toilet either but lots of good and considerate people seem to not flush them. There is no rule that requires you to return the shopping cart and yet good and considerate people leave them rolling around banging into peoples cars all the time. They'll return it for a quarter though. Why should we expect good and considerate people to wear masks for 30 minutes either? [/quote]
