    We’ve partially reopened. Bus ridership is down 75%. A lot of single occupant cars in a photo isn’t your best argument.

    I support enslaving people who think there are more than 2 genders.

    I don’t see them being that valuable as slaves. Probably a net loss.

    I alternate between Whole Foods and a Safeway derivative. The customer mask difference is staggering. Yet nobody seems to be dying 🤷🏻‍♂️

    The mask ratio at my store is about 8 out of 10 wearing them. Sometimes more, sometimes less. My company mandated staff all wear masks all the time, even when we are closed to the public or we could tale an unpaid medical leave of absence. It sucks, it’s like working for 8 hours under a blanket but if it will get Inslee to open the state back up then I’ll do it. He won’t though. Not King, Pierce or Snohomish counties. Whatever. I don’t have to fake smile at people now.

    Props to you for working in grocery in the first place. That is a tough business. Spent some time in the trenches back in the 80's. There were some real jackwads in management at a few of the chains.

    With regard to masks: I'll wear it as a condition of entering a business - just to play the game and get what I need/want. Otherwise, fuck no. No masks for The Throbber. Either as part of the group think or the intentional breakdown of our immune systems

    I’m in Bozeman, MT. No masks. No sick people. Living the best life and slaying brown trout on The World-Famous Madison River slide tomorrow. Stay in your basements, liberals. Wore a mask into Costco because they asked nicely and I got hot deals on ribs and corn for a BBQ tomorrow night. Catch and release, yo.

    I’d say the ratio has dropped to 7-10. More and more people seem done. Some seem pissed that more aren’t wearing them and that not enough mask coverage is the reason the big three counties are staying closed. Population and more testing have nothing to do with it. It’s gotta be masks! I guess people in soon to open Skagit county are all masked up and on board with our Governor. That sounds right.

    In Anacortes tensions were sharp as I moved about.

    Glares were like lasers. Priuses were locked and loaded.

    About 50/50 citywide, anecdotally.

    Only the cashiers in West Marine were wearing masks. No customers were. Marina restrooms are closed and my card key didn’t work so, that was a Major Government Violation of my right to pee
