5. If you are talking about the cashier in Georgia?

I agree.

I commented a few minutes ago in another DU discussion on the Georgia murder.

It’s obvious that it’s time to relieve store cashiers from trying to enforce a mask mandate. The CDC has said it’s safe for vaccinated individuals. Period. Why are stores still heavily enforcing a mask mandate?

Remember the heartbreaking stories years ago when cashiers were under pressure to fight the robbers and not hand over the cash? I recall so many shootings. Well this is the new fight.

Don’t bother. Remind the customer of the mandate. But why do we have mandates in stores now? New York has been a very restrictive state since the beginning, but we are all on the honor system now, in NY. If you are vaccinated, you can go without a mask. Period. There is a sign in the window stating that fact.

Even a good guy (security guard) with a gun couldn’t stop a bad guy (idiot maskhole) with a gun.
