Walking around the Kroger today...

[Mr. Scorpio]

I happen upon an older, maskless, white feller, who was sporting an NRA camo cap.

I didn’t have the heart to tell him what his ensemble portrayed there.

I just did my best to avoid him altogether.

1. I only ever seem to find these people..

at Kroger.

2. You must not have a Food Lion nearby.

The ones in my town have been Covidiot Central all along, way worse than the Kroger.

4. Nope, no Food Lion.

In Columbus, Kroger is the armpit of grocery stores. Even Walmart is doing a better job.

3. The HEB here have at least 95% of customer's in masks. About two months ago .....

I saw an unmasked guy with a tee shirt that said "You cannot live in fear." And my thought was that a lot of the fearless die stupidly.

6. A few months ago I saw a guy in a grocery with no mask and a holstered pistol.

Walking by I said "You know you can't kill the virus with a gun right?"
Then Jeannie pulled me away.

9. I've got a wife "Jeannie" and a sister "Jeannie", both have saved from getting in too deep ...

The world needs more "Jeannies".

7. Yet I think there's a strong fear component to many covid-deniers

I think a lot of them are operating under the mind-over-body folk belief that if you don't "believe" in the virus it can't harm you.

[marble falls]

10. They are truly whistling past the graveyard, not knowing theres a potential space for them waiting.

8. That t-shirt says everything we need to know about right winger mentality.

I do not fear the virus at all. I wear a mask and follow precautions out of consideration for others and a sense of duty to my family and community. I don't want to get the virus and die or get sick, but it does not permeate my every waking thought either. If we all do our part and act responsibly, we can move forward and return to a situation where there aren't so many restrictions.

Right wingers cannot seem to understand things except for in binary terms. Either this, or that. Black or white. Simplistic thinking.

5. Fry's (Kroger in AZ) has been the worst I've seen

Always more maskholes there than any other store. Even with mandates lifted in Arizona I rarely see unmasked people at other grocery stores.
ALthough the ones I do see always have some OathKeeper or 3% clothes or tattoos.

11. Smith's is a Kroger store and I avoid it

Albertsons is good.

[AZSkiffyGeek]

12. I saw one group of maskholes at Albertson's a year ago

They were pulling the "muh rights/Hippa" bullshit and I left. Everytime since then there haven't been any issues.

[Vinca]

13. Should have asked him if he'd bought Wayne LaPierre any suits lately.

[lunatica]

14. Repulsion tactics

It’s good you avoided him since that’s what everyone should do. He was dressed for rejection.
