You know, I’ve been going into Wal-Marts and other stores across the country without a mask since all this insanity began in March. But when everyone started really cracking down and Wal-Mart enacted their new nationwide mask policy on July 20, I wasn’t sure how things would go.
I’m not one to shy away from confrontation by any means, (some would even say I relish it- See https://www.lewrockwell.com/2013/04/martin-hill/record-all-interactions-with-police-feds/.) but there’s something disturbing and evil about this whole forced-masking dynamic. It’s very sad that we have to get ‘a knot in our stomach’ just going to get groceries.
Who would have ever dreamt even six months ago that we’d have to ‘get ready for a fight’ and ‘go into battle’ to ‘exert our rights’ every time we went to the darn grocery store?
In the past decades since 9/11, perhaps such contentious and stress-causing confrontations only occurred when the TSA tried to grope us at the airport or if we got pulled over by a revenue agent traffic cop. [See https://www.lewrockwell.com/2014/08/martin-hill/i-beat-a-california-speeding-ticket-on-appeal/.]
Yet here we are, and we have the choice to either ‘take it easy and comply’, or to exert our God-given rights to breathe normally and be treated as a creature of God with dignity.
So the good news is,, as I began to do this more often, it became easier. I think it’s very important to remain extremely calm and confident, that will give you the upper hand. Try praying to God, your guardian angel and Saint Michael before you go in.
We’ve all seen these videos the corporate media loves to play, of alleged anti-maskers screaming like lunatics or getting violent. We should avoid that at all costs.
Last time I went into Wal-mart was in Missouri; today it was Nebraska. The store in Nebraska City, Nebraska, was astounding, it appeared to have 120% compliance with the face diaper rule. I was the only person without a mask.
The face mask ambassador at the door was very pleasant, no problemo.
Remember, Wal-Mart states on their own website:
“We know it may not be possible for everyone to wear a face covering. Our associates will be trained on those exceptions to help reduce friction for the shopper and make the process as easy as possible for everyone.”

Start carrying unconcealed into Walmart and watch all the heart attacks.
Start putting product back on your damn shelves!
My belief (from my own management experience) is that the employee guards are there to give the notion that someone is watching to make sure you or most comply but are told to not actually enforce it if it comes down to it or risk bad publicity which they most certainly do not want. It’s like a game.
So I never go in with a mask anymore knowing this and laugh at any sheeple who does.
Other people need to start doing the same.
Absolutely NC, and when the “guard” at the self checkout center, feels compelled to say, “have a nice day” or “thank you” as you are leaving, it’s not a courtesy. They don’t really mean it and they are just acknowledging that they don’t trust you and you were being watched all along. Don’t think that you actually self checked yourself out with the trust of management. You did the work under the close observation of the guard, and don’t you forget it!
When you, an honest person, gets a strange feeling of cognitive dissonance when this happens, that’s precisely why. Don’t believe it? Pay close attention next time.
