The other day, I stopped in at a Cumberland Farms, one of our local convenience stores. They have Smart Water, buy 2 one-liter bottles for $3, which is a steal. Because of Covid 19, at the time at least, everyone was encouraged (now required) to wear facial masks of some kind.
When I pulled up, this woman, looked to be in her 40's, pulled up next to me, got out of her car, no mask, and rushed to beat me to the entrance. I just let her pass and did what I could to maintain my six feet from her. I went to the water, she went to the beer cooler, and again, rushed out to beat me to the counter.
A man was at the counter already, with his mask on, while he and the cashier, also with a mask on, were separated by a plexiglass sneeze guard. On the floor, as it is now in most stores, are large dots every six feet at the check out counter so customers know about maintaining a six foot distance between themselves and the customer in front of them.
Beer Lady decided to ignore this, and instead, she went right up next to the customer who was paying for his items, plunked her six pack of beer on the counter, and stood there to the right side of him. The guy turned his face to look at her for maybe five long seconds, like he wanted to drill holes into her, but it didn't phase her one bit. He left, she then paid for her beer while I stayed six feet from her, then she left without a care in the world, except to drink her beer later.
Now, Cumberland Farms has signs outside that tell you that you cannot enter the store unless you are wearing a face mask, and it's probably for people like Beer Lady.
