It is mandatory in Los Angeles County (my residence) but I have not worn a mask in stores since last June. No one has said a word to me, certainly no employees have. There have been a few dirty looks but I smile and greet them warmly. It always defuses the situation.

If nothing else it sends a signal that some of us refuse to live in fear and will go about our lives despite the hysteria.

A smile and a warm greeting always fucks up the Karens. They have no idea what to do. Are they really going to yell at somebody who just said good afternoon?
