I'm sitting in a Menards parking lot in Princeton, IN

[AwakeAtLast]

My husband went in for some tools he needs for his job. Yes, he is still working outside our home.

Beautiful day, windows on the car are partially down to catch a nice breeze.

Remember, this is the middle of bright Red Trumpster town.

Menards only has one entrance open. People are stomping away from the others like children because they aren't being allowed in to their chosen door

Menards is requiring masks to he let in. Some people have them, some people don't, and then go to their car an miraculously find one. Others stomp off like children because they aren't being let in without one

If right wing Toadies Menards is turning away customers without masks, this virus is serious.

All of a sudden I see Snowflakes...

1. They should sell masks at the door.

[stillcool]

4. they have masks to sell?

we gave up looking, and make them instead.

[blueinredohio]

14. We also went to Menards today.

One way in and one way out but people were all over the place. No social distancing. No safeguards for cashiers besides masks. They were selling masks if you didn't have one for a dollar. Paper masks.

5. Lump has had the Fed steal them all so they can

sell them at a profit for the Lump clan.

[AwakeAtLast]

7. My husband said they were

That's why I heard someone say something about "Highway robbery".

[sheshe2]

2. I think we need to make a tweek of the sign...

No Shirt. No Shoes. No service.

No Shirt. No Shoes. No Mask. No service.

3. Interesting knowing Menard.

Funny he does not have a Kiosk at the front selling Masks knowing him.

[AwakeAtLast]

8. My husband just told me they were.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Okay,Johnny did not surprise.

[Chellee]

21. No kidding.

John Menard's desire to sell you a mask for a $1 is greater than his concern for your health and well being.

[Wellstone ruled]

22. He is a heartless person in real life.

Nut said.

[BigmanPigman]

6. I feel like Joan Rivers these days, OH GROW UP !!!!!

[safeinOhio]

10. Freedom of choice,

yet they resent your freedom of having a choice. Go figure.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. Good for Menard's!

[AwakeAtLast]

12. Yes! Quite frankly, I was shocked. n/t

[warmfeet]

13. Behave like an adult, I know, asshole wingers don't know what that means.

Practice social distancing, wear a mask, do not go out unless absolutely necessary.

This may be the better part of two years, living this way. Please try to adjust. Save some lives. The life you save may be your own - it might also be your offspring, your parents, your grandparents, your siblings, your friends, your coworkers, and every acquaintance. Stay safe.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

16. Yes, but me me Me Me ME ME!

It’s always been a winning formula if you want to get ahead in this country, exploiting others.

Cooperation? Pfft!

[cwydro]

15. I keep reading these posts from supposed blue states.

Is New Jersey red? I lose count.

But I live in a red county in NC, and pretty much everyone is wearing masks. Many without, but much more than I expected are wearing them.

My own personal demographic observation. Older lone white men and young white men - no mask. Some on the older men of any race, but only when accompanied by a woman lol. Older AA men and women - masks. Young AA men - no masks at all. Young AA women - some wearing some not. Same for young white women.

I really can’t see this as just as political party thing unless every AA person I see without a mask is a Repub. Same for the white folks.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

18. Interesting.

If my area had textile companies making masks, then MAYBE more right-wingers would be wearing them around here? I could see them acting “patriotic” about it in that circumstance, maybe.

[AwakeAtLast]

19. Agreed about the OWGs

My husband even complains about them!

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. Red NC county here too. Highly variable

We went to Publix yesterday, vast majority of people masked... didn't pay enough attention to assess ratios vs age/race Employees were masked.

The Ingles closest to my house has about 75% of customers masked, but as of last week NO employees.

I am selling veggie plants from my yard, all customers masked despite being outdoors and leaving lots of distance.

[Pepsidog]

17. I live in South Jersey and never heard of Menards.

[AwakeAtLast]

20. It's a pseudo Lowe's run by Wingnut

Started in Indiana.

[Chellee]

25. Yes to the wing nut.

No to Indiana. It started in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

[Pepsidog]

37. Ugh!

[Chicagogrl1]

24. It's like a Home Depot

Except it’s more geared towards rehabbing/decorating. They even carry some food. It’s a weird mish mash.

[cstanleytech]

26. I am going to have problems personally if more places start requiring

masks as every time I have ever had anything over my face it triggers a severe asthma attack

[Lars39]

27. I wonder if a neck gaiter pulled up would be a little easier for you?

[cstanleytech]

28. It's the heat and humidity I think that might be causing it.

I start feeling like I am suffocating and then start gasping for breath.

[Lars39]

29. Humidity can just be awful.

From what I understand, there are cooling gaiters. I don’t do well in humidity and heat either, so I’m always on the lookout for something to make summer bearable.

[cstanleytech]

30. Unfortunately I live in Augusta Georgia area and this area has some horrible things

Number one of course is way too many Republicans and Trump enablers but also it has a ton of heat and humidity during the summer so it's like a sauna outside.

[Lars39]

31. Not to mention the ticks! lol

I guess every place has its own charm, but I could do without all that you mentioned, too, here in TN.

[LeftInTX]

32. It isn't a good idea to wear masks outside, unless it's crowded

We have an N95 at home..I put it one for like a minute and I could not breath. They will cut your O2 consumption up to 20%.
Use the lighter weight mask and only wear it in stores etc.

[Luciferous]

33. Our Menards wasn't requiring masks last time I was there but they have banned anyone under 16

and the employees had barriers up at the help desk and the registers.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

35. Not like Texas! "We don't need no stinking masks"...Lowes

Parking lot? Hundred people. Masks seen 1. I did not even go in.

People here are 100% stupid. But no leader guiding them toward science. It is so sickening.

[LeftInTX]

38. Lowes does curbside and they will usually have your order ready the same day

Of course if you like to look, (or go the the garden center) then that's a problem

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. Ya thanks. It wasn't that it's just the overwhelming

Sadness that people have such disregard for health/virus precautions. So selfish. This is really making me determined to get out of here. I have hated it since day 1, tried to appreciate it for a long time. The only place I half way like is Galveston. Where are you?

[LeftInTX]

40. San Antonio

I'm not going anyway. Been married for 35 years. Grown kids etc. We dream about it, but we're tethered. Hubby still works.

[LeftInTX]

41. I do curbside whenever I can

Grocery store curbside is a pain, but I've been doing it. (2 day wait) But places like Office Depot, Academy, Lowes etc. are easy if you know what you want. I figure the less exposure the better the off everyone is.

Office Depot has my order ready in 9 minutes after I ordered! Kohl's took only 20 minutes.

[madaboutharry]

36. I don't like Menard's.

In fact, I can’t stand Menard’s. To me it is a store that got stuck in a time warp and hasn’t made it into the 21st century. If Mike and Karen Pence were a store, they would be Menard’s
