Only a handful had masks to take off.

I wear one at all the stores I go into (except maybe Kwik Mart) as a courtesy to others. This weekend we went to a 8th grader basketball tourney. There was 200 people there Id say only about 20 with masks. In that situation, I just followed the herd. I carry hand sanitizer in my pocket and use it pretty regular. I've seen so many kids over the years, including my own, that were immunocompromised that I really feel guilty not wearing a mask if there's a solid amount of folks doing the same.

More or less in the same boat. I keep one with me, and carry sanitizer. But the masks are more about making the retail staffers feel better than about protecting myself against anything. A good bit of theater, really. The sanitizer, on the other hand, while it was just for the germaphobes a few months back, is probably a legitimate precaution. You still go into the grocery store and see the little old ladies and weird hipster douche types pinching all the produce before deciding to buy it. That's a practice I can't believe stores haven't gotten more aggressive about. Or that the pinchers themselves haven't turned on the news at all to see what's going on out there.

Before Covid I used to be a MAJOR produce fondler. Now I don't touch anything.

Good man. Way to adapt. That's walking the walk.

How are you supposed to know if your tomatoes or fruits are just right without fondling them?

I don't have to take every saltine out and lick it before I know if I want to buy a box. Same deal.

Vegetables can be very sensuous, don't you think?
