Yeah, the whole mask thing is irritating. I don't care for it being "mandated" by a city or county. You have to wear one in Tuscaloosa, thankfully, you don't in Northport (as of now and I think it'll stay that way). Now, I have zero problems with businesses who require it. Their property, their rules. I don't think Publix requires it, but I normally wear one when I'm in there anyway because I know it puts the old folks at ease. Honestly though, I'm of the opinion that these folks who are scared to death of it just need to stay at the house. I know people have to get out and get groceries and essentials, but if you're walking around in a bookstore for 30 minutes trying to find the latest Danielle Steel release or standing in line at CoCo's Shake Emporium getting yourself a caramel latte and getting your kids milkshakes before you take them to ball practice, then don't pretend that I need to be masked up 24/7 for your well-being.
