Screw these fascists

We have a garden in the back yard and my wife has been having problems with a mole or some other rodent eating the young plants. I know where the mole is so I thought I would attack that problem first. Looked online and locally there are three possible stores that would have the kind of mole trap I have used in the past. Of the three, only Menards has some locally. The lawn and garden section is near the doors by the cash registers and even though it is marked as an exit, I have never had any problem entering that way and it was common practice to go in through that door for many people. Got to the door today and it was plastered with signs about no pets or children under 18. There was another customer coming out as I went in. I was inside the store like 5 feet and some chick starts yelling at me that I had to go out and enter through the "in" door with a mask and if I did not have a mask, they would sell one to me at the "in" door. I was not wearing a mask but had one in the car and I wear it on occasion if the store is crowded or if I expect the clientele to have an above-average chance of having CoVid-19 (Asain grocery store).
So, frick these fascists. I do not have Covid-19, have not had CoVid-19, and do not intend to get CoVid-19, but the decision to wear a mask or not is mine - just as it is my decision on where I take my business. So, walking to the car I decided these people will never see another dime from me. Ever. It's a beautiful, sunny day here. I drove home with the windows and sunroof open, and Audioslave playing on the stereo. The mole trap is $2 more from Amazon and will take a week to get here (apparently it is not a critical item but fuzzy cable/wire ties are, and the ties will be here tomorrow). I will have to fix things with the wife because of the delay but I will not have how I take precautions for my health and safety dictated by some fricking store manager with a high school diploma and an email from corporate.

Your post along with many others makes me so proud to be a Georgian. Hope y’all are delivered soon.

I am a Georgian too. Live in Marietta. Try to walk in through an exit at the W Cobb Home Depot and see what happens. They are insane about it.

Great, that's exactly how it's supposed to work. The private business made a decision and so did you. All is well.

5 gallon pail of water and a baseball bat.
No trap needed.

Authoritarian Statist? Is that better even though they are technically the same?
