Too bad there's nothing you or anyone else can do about me, a random person who doesn't feel like wearing a mask. (I too am triple vaxxed but don't wear a sandwich board either).

Yup, I'm the PP who said that I've found the stores that don't care

I live upcounty, so I can only comment on the stores up there. But Weiss & Safeway in Damascus have NEVER said a word to me.

I've been in the Home Depot in Germantown multiple times w/o a mask.

Same with the target at Milestone, though a few times an employee did ask me. But more often than not, its just a few sideways glances.

You're making life more difficult for retail employees, but I guess your desire to not wear a mask is more important.

No. I'm not. The county council is.

No, you are. You could wear a mask like everybody else, but you don't wanna.

And, btw, I'm triple vaxxed. So me not wearing mask is not just an act of civil disobedience in the face of unnecessary government outreach, it's also a visual statement in support of vaccines (AKA the real reason we have low numbers)

No, it's not. Not unless you're out wearing a sandwich board that says "I am not wearing a mask because I have received three shots, and my non-mask-wearing is intended to demonstrate support for vaccination." Otherwise you're just another random person who doesn't feel like wearing a mask.

No, it's not a thing. There is no way the police will enforce mask policies when they've been told not to enforce low-level crime in general due to the racial disparities they generate in arrest rates.

Not only that, but I'm 6'3" POC. The Karens of Bethesda are way too terrified to say anything to me about not wearing a mask.

Here's the real problem: you get extremely frustrated because you can't control my behavior. You may want me to wear a mask, but you simply cannot force me to do it.

As a MoCo resident, over the past few months, I've found the store that don't care if I wear a mask. And I do my shopping there.

You'll be a much happier person once you accept the fact that you cannot control my behavior, and I cannot control yours.

DP. Do you ignore all other laws and regulations when you feel like it, or just this particular one?
