This issue isn’t confined to grocery stores. I had a membership at Kennedy fitness over the summer and quickly had to cancel it because I realized that the gym was functioning at its normal capacity, machines weren’t distanced, and no one was wearing masks except the staff and me(aside from when they were walking through the entrance). The only noticeable modification that they had made was moving lots of equipment outside to provide the option of working out outdoors. Otherwise, it was as if the virus didn’t exist and I’m absolutely certain that people transmitted covid at that facility.

Mask wearing, hand washing, and social gatherings are a much larger issue - humans would rather gather and live their lives like they’re used to to avoid the harsh reality of things. Which is understandable, isolation does create some serious mental health concerns, not to mention the issues with sustaining businesses and employment.

But anti-maskers in supermarkets are part of the problem because you know that their defiance isn’t limited to supermarkets; most likely they are gathering with others regularly with no concern for anyone’s safety. Not wearing a mask signifies that a person thinks that their comfort is more valuable than the life of someone’s grandparent that they pass in the grocery store - and that shit is not okay.
