We are all subject to restrictions in our life. Many stores have signs on the door, No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service. I can only guess the reason, but I assume some customers walked in without shoes or shirts. It seems to be reasonable to assume that if you had a restaurant or business on the beach it might be acceptable to enter without shoes or shirts, but not in other locations.
I have never seen anyone complain or argue with the business about this restriction. Why? Because it’s a reasonable. Yet in these times people are getting ugly about wearing a mask even though some stores require it. The irate customer will claim they have the right to shop without wearing a face mask. These same people will wear shoes and shirts but not a mask.
This logic escapes me. What harm is there if you where a mask? None. Will it benefit someone else? Yes, very likely. People working in the stores and businesses that cater to customers see many people over the course of the day. A customer walks in to buy a product and encounters only a few people. The more people you deal with daily, the higher risk you have, so you can help protect others. That seems like a good reason to wear a mask. Even if you don’t agree with my analogy, wearing a mask can at the minimum eliminate conflict with the store and their employees.
What I’ve learned in my 71 years on this earth is that some people will argue about anything and with anyone. They are never satisfied, never happy and never reasonable. I doubt this post will change anyone that falls in that category, but I hope it makes others think about when it’s appropriate to take a stand. It’s simple, wear the mask and make life easier. It’s not that hard. “Just Saying . . . “
