Masks and customer service

Writes Greg Privette:

Hi Lew,

I was reading one of the great (both the posts and the poster) Becky Akers posts of comments she receives from various people around the country in regards to wearing masks. One of the posts included the following from Mark in Ohio recounting his comment to the proprietor after entering a store: “Why are you being so rude to me?” I asked. “When I entered your store, you did not welcome me or greet me in any polite way.

This brought a thought to mind. It seems the Kabuki theatre of Covid “mitigation” is having a similar effect on customer service as the implementation of the Kabuki theater of “security” in the airports following 9-11. I have told people for years that even though airline and airport customer service was already on the decline, the post 9-11 security hype greatly accelerated this trend. Suddenly any customer complaining a little too vigorously about poor airline customers service could simply be declared a “security risk” and threatened with, or actually be subjected to detainment or arrest.

Now the political class has come up with a basis to empower every business to treat all customers as potential threats, just like the airlines. It makes the conspiracy nut in me wonder if everyone is simply being conditioned to accept the horrible, substandard service we will receive once we have full-scale socialism?

I find interesting that Becky Akers has been the one to recognize and write extensively on both the airport security fraud, and the Covid security fraud. A true advocate of Liberty!

On a final note, I flew extensively through earlier parts my career as well as for personal trips. I completely quit flying when they started making me take my shoes off at the “security” checkpoints. I also have never worn a mask yet, even when traveling through states with “mandates”. I am grateful I live in an area where there is no “mandate” and what I would estimate to be the vast majority of people do not wear masks. The only place I am in the minority is in the grocery store and even there I see others without and have never had anyone say anything to me.
