I really think we are truly silent majority. I am a business owner in CT. I have mandated signs on my windows about masks, but it specifically states if you have a medical condition you are exempt. Our Lt governor just made a new mandate that if you don't wear a mask you need a doctors note or will be fined. She didn't explain who would enforce this new rule, but it's not going to be me. I don't wear a mask, I do have a doctors note in case any mask police ever show up. Today, almost every single customer that came in saw me not wearing a mask and took theirs off. This was exceptional. Usually it's like 1 out of 7. Today it was 5 out of 7. They are all sick of this bullshit. They know it's bullshit. They just don't want to be hassled by anyone. They realize they are in good company when they see me mask free and won't be hassled while they go about their business at my shop.
What I find really interesting is these freshly unmasked customers monitor other customers coming in/out of the store. Initially they will put their mask back on in fear when they see another masked customer coming in, but when the incoming customer realizes it's not being enforced by a mask Nazi they both ease up and stay mask free. They comply in big box stores because they don't want to be cancelled by a savage mob. We need to get organized and united because we outnumber these people.
