Loading ...I go to COSTCO monthly. Last month when I tried to walk in without a mask I was not allowed through the door without one, so I left and shopped elsewhere.
Yesterday I went to COSTCO again. They display a large sign at the entrance which says something like… “Masks Mandatory in this store, no exceptions!” Every person entering was dutifully wearing their masks…except me. I showed my card, looked the security in the eye and walked on in. My estimate is that there were at least a thousand shoppers in that huge warehouse store, 18 checkouts running full tilt with at least 10 shoppers lined up waiting their turn to pay at each one. The store was JAMMED with shoppers and every person in that store, shopper or employee, was wearing a mask, so I decided to put it to the test. I began asking employees where this and that was located, getting directions to various items, and nobody said a word about me not wearing a mask. Then about 30 minutes into my shopping ONE other shopper came in sight not wearing a mask, so I said “nice to see another face”, to which he said, “yeah, another smiling face” and of course we were both smiling.
That was it! Never saw another un-masked person in the 1 1/2 hours I was in that store. Nobody, not security, not anybody even at checkout said anything….although there were a few frightened “sheep” shoppers who kinda gave me a wide birth with fear in their eyes as we passed….and at checkout I had to flash my card…but I paid in cash…and left with a huge cart of food!
Point is, I have NEVER seen such a bunch of compliant sheep anywhere in my life. I probably asked employees and security directions at least 20 times and not one of them said anything about me with no mask. Come on people…wake up if you’re not!!
IT’S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE THING!!
