My husband went in to get my prescription and pick up a couple of cleaning supplies while I stayed in the car. During that short visit 20 people walked in and out, only one with a mask. These people are morons, led by a mindless twit.

(4,228 posts)We stopped in Rite Aid and another small convenience store. We were both wearing our masks of course but 90% of the people we encountered were not. These dumbass trumphumpers are going to make this go on forever.

(119 posts)I am traveling through Kentucky and just visited a Kroger. About 30% were in masks (all ages). I was in southern Alabama in May for 2 weeks - NO ONE WAS IN ANYTHING, i.e., masks, gloves, etc. C19 just "doesn't exist" down there. Walmart took down the plexiglass!

(12,286 posts)My Walgreens does have a drive thru lane and when this pandemic hit I switched to going through it instead of going inside.
I am avoiding people as much as humanly possible.
I don't trust 'em.

(2,555 posts)to pick up prescriptions and sundries. Everyone was wearing a mask and customers who saw that if someone was in an aisle they needed access to,either went around the other way or waited until the aisle was clear - very much social distancing. There was a Purell dispenser near the entrance - and it had product in it!
I'm in New Jersey.

(9,874 posts)I am now in NC and they do NOT require it but recommend it.

(2,555 posts)Masks in public are recommended.
They are required in parks although I've seen less compliance in parks. I live on a County park where masks are required - posted in several places, yet many ignore that, I guess because people figure they're outdoors. I don't walk there any more, but will walk through the neighborhood in the street instead.

(12,265 posts)People stare at my husband and make comments because he wears a mask and when he is in store he wears gloves. He is a big guy so they are careful he says, but he can tell they think he is a snowflake. Like he says, he will be alive long after they are gone.

(9,460 posts)People there act like their lives depend on wearing a mask. They're an intelligent group who pays attention and is taking this very seriously, as they should.

(9,460 posts)I go to grocery shop at our Fry's/Kroger about once a week. Each week it seemed like fewer and fewer people were wearing masks. It was down to way less than half the employees and customers wearing them.
However, today I noticed probably 65-70% of everybody in the store were masked. At least it shows there are those who are paying attention and taking this more seriously now. It made my day.

(46,166 posts)Our Walgreens advised us that all stores have it as far as they know. So wherever we go we can pickup the sundries and not have to leave the car. Then go through the drive thru to gather our meds.
Btw, the website says that their workers wear masks and they encourage customers to do the same.
Sounds like the management at your store is deliberately feckless.

(9,874 posts)on my last visit to Harris Teeter where we get our groceries ordered online and delivered to the trunk of the car. Observed others going in and out of the store while waiting in the parking lot.
My general observations over the past several times were about the same. I also noticed a much higher percentage of people wearing masks among those over 50 and black people of all ages. Hardly any white people under 40 wore masks.

(28,349 posts)we have a lot of tourists who do not.
Although, a lot of businesses are requiring you to wear a mask, or no service.
I'm in the beautiful state of Northern Michigan.
