People are boycotting Costco for requiring shoppers to wear masks in stores.

Here, in PA, you are not supposed to be served unless you are wearing a mask. So some are going to boycott Costco for asking people to wear masks. I read the Constitution over again. Ya know, I can't find the clause that says some have the right to deliberately infect others, by ignoring health rules and regulations. Jessh! If you have to wear a mask, what's next- you can't piss in the town's water supply?
 

i'm running around all day at work with my masks on and my glasses don't fog up that much. unless i've been in the walk in cooler or freezer. i use cloth with a thick filter. and i don't need any anti-fog stuff. not sure what kind of environment you're in that they fog that much. sometimes if you don't have the mask on right it will do that.
 
Waaahhh.... Costco is making me wear a mask to shop in their stores to help protect ourselves, other shoppers, and their employees. Waaahhh.

What a bunch of babies. Can you imagine how today's bratty public would have responded to rationing coupons circa WWII? Waaahhh... I want my butter. And my tires. And my gasoline. I'm tired of this war and don't believe the news is telling the truth. Waaahhh...

Gimme, gimme, gimme what I want, want, want, want. And if you won't let me do it legally, I'll figure out a way around it. While sporting a flag bumper sticker on my car and another one on the front of my tee shirt.

Watching the nonsense in this country clearly illustrates why they (WWII generation) were called the Greatest Generation. History will surely never judge us as kindly.

Thanks for the bandana tip, Seabreeze. I'll try that.

Treeguy, if you spray that stuff on glasses before leaving home, does the effect wear off? How long does it last?

Sunny, the first time I used it, I sprayed it on at 8AM, before a tree gig, in 80Āŗ F weather, 80 % humidity. When I was loading up, four hours later, I was taken aback, when I realized that my eye protection hadn't fogged up at all, to the point where I forgot that I had even sprayed the stuff on! I choked up, literally, because I knew I had found THE anti-fog spray, for me. I've been using it for years.

Do use a polyester cloth, as opposed to a cotton one, for wiping it on. I've found poly is superior. These days, I spray the cloth, and then wipe the lenses. Works amazingly well.

I DO wear an N95 respirator, OTJ. No fogging problem.
 
So, consensus is wearing a mask protects the wearer, or wearing a mask protects the supposed carrier. Using that logic, you only need one mask between two people, because, If your wearing a mask, I'm safe from you and you're safe from me. If I'm not wearing a mask, it's not your problem, it's mine, and mine alone, correct?
Pile on.

Depends on the type the other person is wearing if you're not wearing one and whether or not you're an asymptomatic carrier.

I may be wrong, but I doubt anyone can sue a particular individual. How would they prove that was the person who they caught it from? What if an asymptomatic carrier spread the virus to them?

I have no ideal but you can always sue, doesnā€™t mean you always win and it costs money if you donā€™t have a lawyer through your work, which we do. Itā€™s 2 bucks a month

I could not careless who wears a mask and who doesnā€™t, or who shops at Costco or who doesnā€™t. When I saw my doctor yesterday, he said he had go to the hardware store and was shocked at how many people were not wearing masks.

He made the same comment as the doctor I saw at the hospital, at least we will be weeding out the idiots. šŸ¤£. Do what you want.

I am one of those people who have a medical condition which prevents me from wearing a mask. There are NO stores I am allowed to go into anymore because of this. Luckily my best friend is obliging and does my grocery shopping, but I absolutely hate this. It's getting hot here and sitting in the car waiting is unpleasant.

Legally, stores do not have the right to deny food or medicine to shoppers who cannot wear a mask. They cannot require a note from the doctor either, but you would have to make a scene upon entering the store and they would have to get your medicine or groceries for you and bring them to your car which sounds more complicated and time consuming for everyone.

I haven't yet reached the point of openly arguing, but I'm sure it's in my future as time as drags on and this continues or intensifies unless I travel to another state to buy groceries which I am considering.

To make it all worse our governor has passed legislation forcing everyone to wear a mask outside period. Except for those of us with medical conditions. There is no place left I can go except the cemetery which is becoming a playground filled with people jogging, riding bikes, skateboarding, and sitting in lounge chairs all maskless.

This rule is overkill IMO. I will continue to go out maskless because it's either that or stay in for a couple of years or until November which would hurt my health. I have no intention of allowing this law to destroy me or make me sick.

That's all. I've had my say.

Chic--could you possibly wear a bandana or scarf to cover your nose/mouth? Maybe not as effective but at least you'd have something.

I'm confused. Could you 'splain that again. :unsure:

No. If it's comfortable it's loose, and slides off. If tight, I can't breathe with it. I will try shopping in another state, it's not too far. Eventually I'll have to discuss this with management of every store I used to go to because I simply can't live anymore with this law in place and legally, they cannot deny me food etc. Which is why governors are so careful about the wearing masks everywhere orders.

Thanks for your concern!! :giggle:

Went to Sam's store and they are asking people to wear masks. But I did see some old people without them and young people also.

At this stage of the game, whether I shop at Costco or Sam's Club in the near future, which I may have to do, they don't need to "ask" me. I use my own common sense to do what is wise in any situation, right now, wearing a mask is the considerate thing to do, for others and in a lesser degree, for myself. If it helps stop the spread, why not? Don't know what the big deal is all about. :rolleyes:

I think if you have such severe health issues that you can't wear a mask safely, then there is always delivery or curbside pickup. You're right, nobody can deny you food, but they aren't doing that.
