I'm starting to get pissed off, because I have a mask exemption actually! And this "woe is me" is a real pain in the ass, I don't like having to be accomodated. But it's good as I am spending a lot less.

I found that some stores have a carded guard and they're the best to deal with at the moment, just out of experience. Because they have a basic legal understanding and don't want to lose their guard card.

Plus I don't really want to have to get in a physical altercation. I will, but that's definitely a last-resort thing. It REALLY depends on the store. I've basically found the places where I can shop with the least stress, adapted, and have found a "mask" that lets me appar compliant but still enables me to properly breathe.

Once winter comes I'll just be rocking the balclava.
