An abrupt relaxation of mask policies has left workers at supermarkets and other stores reeling as they try to sort out what the new environment means for their own safety and relationship with customers.
Kroger, the country's largest grocery chain, became one of the latest to announce that, starting Thursday, workers and customers can stop wearing masks in states where mandates are no longer in effect. Other companies that have adopted similar changes include Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Macy's, Costco, Home Depot, Trader Joe's and Target, following updated guidance from the Centers for Disease Control.

A great many have been either living in fear or living in "inconvenience" -- the policies given by leadership have not mitigated the fears -- my 2 cents

You are so right. It's all about politics from the leadership here...with Pelosi insisting on masks in the House, it's no wonder some people are still afraid.

Lt Col Charlie Brown I think House members are more afraid of Pelosi and fines than they are of the disease.

Here in SE Florida (where we still experienced lockdowns and mask mandates at the County level) we were able to shop at Costco and Wal-Mart mask free. Seems about 1/2 of the staff at each store were also maskless. We have gone from 95% mask free to 99.9% mask free.
While the counties (Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm) put mask mandates in place, the Governor made it illegal state-wide to ticket anyone for not wearing a mask some 6-8 months ago. That just left the companies who could legally demand you wear a mask. And just like that most of the signs came down this week!
