We have a mask mandate in our building, I sort of usually wear one in the lobby or on an elevator with someone else.

Kroger asks for one.  Restaurants don't seem to care with few exceptions.

I mean, we've all been saying the exact same things, and reiterating our positions, for months now.

There's really no purpose to this thread.  In the USA at least, the problem has been solved, for those that actually care to find a solution.

Ferris Bueller would tell us to go home, it's all over.

Yeah, Kroger (Ralph's locally) has a sign up that masks are required regardless of vaccination status. So I wear it when I go. I don't avoid Ralph's because of the mask rule, but I don't exactly go there more than 1-2 times a month, so it's not like it's a big deal anyway. 

That said, I'm meeting my good friend from Chicago this weekend for lunch (he's out here for Phish shows) and he's staying up in LA County with another Phish fan. I'm planning our meeting to be in Orange County rather than LA County, because LA County requires masks and requires to show proof of vax to enter businesses. Everyone age 12+ in my family is vaccinated and we could show our cards, but I'm not going to LA County because I disagree with their mandate. 

Of course I also don't want to drive to LA County, so there's that.

That is complete BS right there. Terrible policy that only hurts the businesses.

We had to show our card to get into the symphony here, that has been the only occasion for me.  I don't think businesses should be in that business.

For a while, businesses in my more rural suburb, didn't have mask requirements, while businesses within Austin proper, did.  I certainly avoided the businesses in Austin proper for that reason.  

But now, not even Austin businesses are requiring masks, so I go to whichever is more convenient at the time.  It's been that way for months.  Folks around here are done.  There's a vaccine available, why should they NOT be done?

Yep. I don't know if businesses are complying. The LA County Sheriff basically said they're not going use any resources to enforce it.

if a business has a sign on the door requiring masks, I don't put mine on until asked by an employee

no one seems to say a word

the sign is only there to appease the mayor or other government official

this was in the city of Lincoln

I read that an In-and-Out in SF was shut down for not enforcing it, I guess the po po in SF don't have much crime otherwise.

Yeah, our theater is doing it voluntarily as well. The first show we're scheduled to attend isn't until January, so depending on what the numbers look like by then it's possible that they'll change their tune before the new season of shows starts.

I'll be at Circuit of the Americas this weekend with 300,000 other people.  I'll let you know how many masks I count. ;)

My dad is 89. He had a good professional career before his retirement.
He has been working high school kid jobs in his retirement. But in March 2020 he took a leave of absence. He said he would die if he didn't work theretofore. He wants to return to sacking groceries at Safeway, but working at Safeway isn't safe, right now. It would be if we all were vaccinated, and wore masks. Right now, Safeway is not safe to work in if you are elderly. Please have compassion. We should be rowing the boat together, but we are not. Our country is losing its way.
Lack of common sense amongst the unvaccinated 40% hurts business, and the national economy.
