Just saw a barefaced MAGA in camo coveralls brush by the Asian greeter who politely asked him to mask up at the MHK Walmart. Don’t shame me for going into the MHK Walmart.
Brave soul.. only reason I go to mhk wally world is if a vehicle needs a battery or tires.

Unless you have a coupon, tires are almost always cheaper at a tire shop. I bought tires three years ago, checked out five different places, and only one of them was more expensive than Wal-Mart.

Discount Tire da GoAT.  I was in and out on 2 new fronts in 45 minutes the other day

It is weird how instantly recognizable that Walmart smell is.  I guess that's why they do it though.  Were they the first large scale retailer to use scent marketing I wonder?
Target is probably the most recognizable scent to me.

Two local school districts are ditching their mask mandates. Going to "optional" masks. Probably won't make a huge difference in 4-5 weeks of school remaining but on the other hand why stop this late in the game?

Just to make it harder to bring them back

I associate the smell of popcorn with Target (and movie theaters)

When I worked in hotels we would get a new scent cartridge every month to change out for the lobby.  They were overpowering when you opened the package.

costco kicks ass on tire prices (but forget getting them to rotate the fuckers unless you've got a rough ridin' afternoon to kill).

Think people will continue to wear masks in doctor waiting rooms now?
Doesn't seem like a bad idea!

The Walmart smell (tm) originates from the bakery. Unless you are talking about the sporting goods area smell, which originates from the tire center

Center for Medicare Services is requiring physician offices and hospitals that work with them to continue masks. You will probably continue to wear masks in medical settings for a while.

What is it that makes hardware stores smell so good? I was in Ace the other day and it smelled so good.

Sunday was the first time I saw someone try to enter a Bay Area store without a mask. It was at the grocery store and it was a young dude who looked like he was on drugs and forgot and he just took a free one when he was told he needed a mask and that was that.

I was in the KC area last weekend, and the lack of masks in stores was pretty unsettling at first. I’m vaxed and all, so Trim 3:16 and whatnot, but it felt weird.

Soon you will get to the sweet spot of knowing you can fight with the maskless and not get sick from them because you’re chip’d.

Depends where you go in the city. In the 'burbs its been as close to 100% as you can get until the last week or 2 when the mandate expired in Johnson County.

Pretty much same here, but I hadn’t been into a store without a mask in more than a year before Friday.

@tbt I was in Southern JoCo

I’ll throw on a cloth mask 90% of the time I go indoors and immediately take it off when I’m outside. Only exception is I’ll wear a KN-95 when I’m going to interact with strangers inside for a while like meetings (rare) or Dr. appointments.

i was in mcpherson the other week and it was super random. signs on everything saying masks required but less than 50% of employees and customers wearing them. but man oh man wait until to you try to go to a restaurant there. the goods ones (there are like 2 or maybe 3) were still doing take out only. like wth you guys.

If you're not union or contractual employee(executive), you work at the pleasure of the employer.  So they do get their way or it's out the door for you.

Well then if the owner made that sign they should require employees to wear masks and if a staff member made it they should have lied and said masks were required for staff

That is an issue with large employee bases.  Sometimes rules are made by bullshit leaders that overstep their authority.
