14. A lot of people seem to be wearing masks begrudgingly.

That's the word I came up with. At Kroger today, employees wear them on their chin, with their nose sticking out-that's what I see mostly. Noses sticking out. The employees, I say something like "wearing your mask like that doesn't do your customers any good." Usually they just laugh and don't adjust the mask. Today, the security guard at the entrance, who is in charge of making sure people are wearing a mask, had his mask on his chin. I pointed, he put it back in place. I imagine he could get in trouble if I called the manager. Customers, I leave alone. Too many MAGATS with guns around here.

By the way, 75,000 new infections today. 75 fucking thousand.
