According to the science, the pandemic (peril and emergency situation) is over.
Unless you have a valid medical excuse, the masks need to be put away period.

No, has nothing to do with Covid, I contracted my illness in Feb, 2022. I had been housebound for over a year and the very first time I went to shop at my local Publix, I had someone ask me if I thought it was “cute” to wear a mask. Since then I get so many comments and snide remarks directed at my mask wearing that my husband had business cards made up explaining my illness and I hand them out to rude people.
Covid has nothing to do with it.

I see…so you are pre-judging people.
Got it.
Ok. I was only asking because my wife has had Crohn’s disease long before Covid. Not a big deal.

I actually assume if someone is wearing a mask it is because of conditions like yours. I’m sorry that you encounter that. Had it not been forced on people it probably wouldn’t be a hot potato.
But, it does make me snicker in distain when I see a person driving their car alone with a mask on.
I think if you want to wear a mask that’s your business, just like I don’t want to wear one. I don’t think the job should be able to say. Just don’t put that person on the registers if you want the smiles.

That’s not what he said, and you know it.
Why make that dishonest post?

My position too, as I posted earlier.
But I also know that in today’s culture of being offended at the drop of a hat, such a business practice would generate a lawsuit, with a slip-and-fall lawyer leading the charge. And, of course, someone else will say that it will lead to “lookism” if a company is concerned with nice smiles facing customers. (Because, … gotta be offended about things, you know…)
Peer reviewed studies show masks don’t work…
… Yet, the kooks still wear them. They can’t admit being wrong…
Yes, but lots of jobs have uniforms. If you don’t want wear it, don’t take the job.
Except for about a million of us who aren’t.

I agree. When face masks were required by some businesses, I would pull mine out of my purse. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t very clean. 
You have to wonder if people who are wearing them understand all that you do on how to properly wear it and the type they should be wearing if they have health issues.

…and no one or nothing…has been held accountable.
My answer would be simply “so I can see better.”
Prior to the pandemic, lots of places made you take ski masks and such off. Did you boycott those stores?
No, because you understood it was done to deter crime.
The pandemic is over, and the germophobia needs to go away.
NOTE: There are a couple of people who posted valid medical reasons to wear a mask, and I am fully onboard with you doing so. This is to the vast majority of people who have no such medical reason and are still doing it to try and keep down the spread of COVID.
Pandemics happen. Blame nature for creating viruses. And for targeting the stupid:
