   The guy at the firearms counter at Bass Pro Shop was giving me this dirty look staring at me, I'm thinking cuz I was wearing a mask, so I stared that bitch man down until he got uncomfortable and looked down at the computer.

     @alipunk From a rideshare driver I got a "You sick?" "No, I like to wear a mask when using public transportation." "Oh."

     Another, wearing a mask, said, "Good. You're wearing a mask!"

     Overall, the experience has been mixed, but those wearing masks (not many) seem to like spotting a kindred soul, lol. I just don't want COVID again, I don't care how mild it may appear to be now.

     I'm also a guy, so I don't get the added misogyny.

     @steter I've been wearing them in stores for years now, cuz I don't want to get sick either. I don't have time for that lol. I think the macho men in that store aren't used to masks and i probably confuse him.
