These are really hard times for some older people.

67. I went to my beauty shop, today. It was my second trip in over 4 months only because they promised

everyone would be wearing masks and they cleansed everything after each customer. Since they only have two operators, I took a chance, mainly because my hair had grown so long, I hardly recognized myself.

Anyway, my beautician knew how I felt about the virus. Her mother and I are around the same age and her mother is scared of contracting it. She moved a chair into the kitchen area at the back of the shop just for her older customers because the owner and her customers were not wearing masks. I didn't bring that fact up until today when I questioned what the regulations were for beauty shops. She said it was "suggested" they wear masks, but they didn't have to. I registered a complaint and told her that if one of their customers came down with the virus, the word would spread quickly and that would be the end of their business. She is trying to make things safe, but the owner really pisses me off with her arrogance about wearing masks. We'll see what the situation is if and when I go back. I have been a customer for over 20 years, so I hope they change their ways on this pandemic. It isn't worth it to be so reluctant to do such a simple thing as wearing a mask. Grow up!
