That can and will happen more often in less likely places. The ones wearing the masks are sure they get to be judge, jury and executioner for anyone not doing the same.
Who is to blame for lockdown rage?
Joy doesn’t blame Bida as much as the leadership in New York and the media. “Even though this person did something wrong, to me the larger concern is the culture of fear that is creating an environment where people are so fearful they do crazy things,” Joy told PJ Media. “This is the fault of those in power who divide us. [Bida] has been so manipulated by fear that he thought it was his duty to do what he did, most likely,” she said.
Joy has been a consistent voice against the lockdown of the whole country and has tried to warn people of the loss of liberties it has wrought along with the devastation to small business owners and their families. She is also suing the governor with several other business owners who are challenging the constitutionality of the lockdown. “Andrew Cuomo is at the top and below him are a myriad of bureaucrats in the health department using fear-driven manipulated data as propaganda to justify this extreme lockdown,” said Joy. “The consequence is dividing us and pitting us against each other.”

As much as I hate wearing the damn mask, i think it should be a mandate at least in grocery stores
Makes it harder for people to pick their nose, lick their fingers, cough or sneeze on the produce.
I think the salad or hot bars would be much "cleaner" if some of the swine were covered.
There's a fine line between your rights and my rights not to ingest your gunk
Like smokers, some, it's your choice, but I don't want to inhale it.
Now farters, just don't cough to cover it up and scare people.

I like the food handlers wearing masks. One thing that always bothered me was someone handling food and talking loudly or yelling while pointed at it, their spit flying out of their mouth on the food.
The Shocking Influence of Politics on Mental Health and Social Distancing Perceptions
But how has the public handled social distancing? Not great, according to a survey from College Finance based on 1,000 respondents.
According to the survey, a mere 2 percent of people haven’t practiced social distancing in the past two weeks, and nearly 7 out of 10 people believe they practice social distancing more than others. Naturally, millennials and Democrats are most likely to believe they have the high ground on social distancing.
The survey also found that 45 percent of respondents believe the public isn’t worried enough about the coronavirus, and that Democrats were far more likely than Republicans to think this way, with 53 percent of Democrats and 32 percent of Republicans believing this. There is also a generational gap. Millennials are far more likely than baby boomers to believe the public isn’t worried enough, with just over a third of baby boomers and just under half of millennials thinking this way. Only 26 percent of all surveyed think people are too worried.
When it comes to assessing how public officials have handled the coronavirus, a whopping 72 percent of Democrats think they haven’t done enough, while 37 percent of Republicans think they haven’t done enough.
But here’s where things get interesting.
Those who believe public officials haven’t done enough are more likely to experience negative mental health effects. “Mental health has gotten markedly worse across the country since January,” according to the study. “Even 38% of those who felt the government had done enough to fight the virus still experienced a decline in their mental health. Psychologists tell us that isolation can be a ‘big trigger’ for those already dealing with mental health issues. Job losses, which are estimated to total 47 million in the U.S. soon, are also enormous triggers for the mental well-being of former employees.”

it was part of the 101 reasons to avoid salad bars and buffets. Places like Nicolette's with the petri dishes running around always left me wary.
But you had a choice to avoid the salad bar. Like, nobody put a gun to your head and said, "Eat off the salad bar or else!"
I, on the other hand, am a big salad bar fan. And Chinese buffet fan. You just have to use some situational awareness. If it looks all gnarly like nobody has cleaned the pans in a year, and your fellow diners all have their finger in their nose, you don't eat there.
My point being that I am not willing to totally give up on the buffet/salad bar. I like it. I miss it. I can't wait for it to be back. If others are skeeved out or scared, there are other places for them to dine.
There are simple solutions to these new problems, it's just that our overlords don't want solutions; they want control.

I'm thinking more the guy at the grocery store cutting my deli meat yelling at his friend with is mouth less than 12 inches away from my swiss cheese.

Prepacked stuff is crap, my solution when they do that is take the package and throw it on the shelf around the corner.
Woman at the GMR McKays sneezed on my stuff one day and handed it to me, that went right on the shelf.
See? Nobody wants a simple solution; they just want to bitch and moan.
Do you really take a perishable item and stick it on a shelf somewhere? Please tell me you're just being facetious. Because you know that's wrong, right?
I agree, salad bars and buffets are not essential, but unless grocery stores and restaurants want to go entirely with plant packaged good then we, the people have to be part of the solution. We still have produce sections in stores, fish counter, meat counters, deli, bakery.
I guess because it's a fact of life in the office, I will tolerate the mask out of respect for others.
But I'm frankly tired of hearing that we need to do all this crap to protect the vulnerable among us, the elderly,
Let's get facts out there, it's not age alone, people are in assisted living / nursing homes for a reason, not because of age.
They aren't going to be out in public. So we can drop it.
But let's not be like the AIDS BS. AIDS would not have been a pandemic if certain "high risk" people had taken precautions.
A socialistic fix, everyone pays for the lack of people taking a simple precaustion.
And frankly, AIDS almost exclusively affects those certain people. Heterosexuals rarely get AIDS. Lesbians are at the very bottom of the AIDS demographic.
So, like, everybody stop having sex because certain at-risk people get AIDS!
Makes sense, right?
Well, that's what they're doing with this Kung Flu crap.

If it has been spit on, yes.
I use to work in a grocery store, I know bad hygene is wrong, it is the stores responsibility to maintain those standards.
I got someone fired for wiping his ass on some woman's steak before he gave it to her cause she pissed him off.
If I'm waiting in line long enough for my icecream to melt, it goes on the shelf, did this recently at Weiss after waiting 30 minutes in line.

Wouldn't it be more effective to say something? Like, I don't know "I just saw you sneeze on this, I will not be buying it anymore" while handing back the item? Leaving it on a shelf makes it look like a jerk customer changed their mind, it doesn't give management the information they need to fix whatever caused you to change your mind.

That was a lost cause at McKays. Many times I took moldy cheese, bad meat etc to the service desk and they looked at me like I had three heads. Pretty sure they even put the moldy cheese back on the shelf.
