About 50% masked, 50% unmasked. I hadnt been to the grocery store in weeks due to a foot injury. I was shocked, for some reason. (Guess I expect sensible behavior).
So this man probably in his 70s is on the other side of the tomato display, no mask, and his wife is standing further away but can hear me. I said to him, You should be wearing a mask. He said, Why? And Im trying to think of a quick answer that would maybe get him to think. So I said, To protect the children. I could see that they didnt know what to say from the looks on their unmasked faces. Is there any chance I made a dent?
