just came from whole foods here in north austin. masks aren't required by customers.

I was so fucking pissed. I made a scene. they told me to was store policy now. I said, in a loud voice, "what the fuck? then what the fuck is the point? I'm never coming back here again, I don't want to catch anything!"

I'm so fucking pissed right now. The employees are all wearing masks but allowing the customers not to? fucking idiots.

I just wrote their corporate headquarters. I got a response that prime shoppers and WH employees are required to wear masks, but no where did he respond to my question regarding the general public requiring masks. So I emailed a follow up. I give it a 50/50 chance he writes back.

You need N95 to protect yourself. And goggles or face shield.
