Ok , there's this subway on the way home I pull into and there's this same brown chick every single time. First two times without a mask it went like this. 1."Put a mask on" - comply. 2nd time, I order my meal from the booth without the mask. Says nothing. 3rd time I do the same thing expect today she fought back. (it's worth mentioning I shaved my full beard a few days ago, now Im baby faced) So, I'm sitting at the booth and there's a customer in front of me. She breaks from his order to tell me to put on a mask to which I say, I'm in the booth. "Doesn't matter blah blah " idk what she was saying behind her muzzle but I just interrupted and reminded her if it's ok to eat here without a mask, then I can order from here too. Again, she tried with the muh 'regulations' mantra and again I interrupted. I literally did a 'time out' motion with my hands and told her, "The Logic Stops Here". The guy in line quips his head around and our eyes meet. I immediately tell him, "don't even bother getting involved" to which he says, just put a mask on so we can get our food, but I get your point' He threw that in there at the end but I said, "oh we can all feel better 'just because' or something to that effect. Just comply and we can all get along. Ya, that was it. Then it was back to me and the 'sandwich artist'. Look, I told her, I don't want to fight with you and she said the same back. But I laid into her about the reality of life. How I can walk in to pay a $1000 auto bill without a mask and no one says shit. How there's a plenum ceiling with an HVAC pulling new air in and circulating the old out. I tell her what a slippery slope we're on as a society when you subjectively oppress other people because of how you feel about them. I can do the same fucking thing and oppress anyone I bloody want based on that same subjectivity. I'm healthy. And in fact, you're oppressing me right now. And with that, the sandwich assembly line was back on and she begrudgingly asked what I wanted. Customer 1 snatched his order and out the door. But did give me a knowing look on the way out. Damn, it's really hard to guess what people are thinking with that fucking mask on. However, this was not over. She starts up on me again as another customer walks in. "You're going to put that mask on when you come up to pay right?" Yes, I told her. I felt if I said no, she would just obviously not serve me. But I also decided to show I'm not a total asshole, I'll wear it at the cash because she's a paranoid retard. But I realized later, this was just a power struggle. I placed my mask on and went to pay. Guy in line eyeballs me and I stare him down. As soon as the card cleared I took off the mask and proceeded to walk out. And that when it happened. "Next time I'm calling the cops" she yells. "Do it" I shot back. "Well next time you better wear the mask or I hope I never see you again". "Fuck you" as I stepped out the door. There were many other words said but I don't recall. This was the main thrust anyway. So, shall there be an episode 4? "The fine" ? I'll go back and do my same shtick in the booth but I already know the end game. She'll call the cops and I'll split before they get there. And it occurred to me about the beard thing. I wonder if that has any bearing on this at all. I noticed I got away with more shit. The end/
