Sign at entrance to QFC - Bella Bottega (click to enlarge) |
UPDATED, 6/29/2021 - The World Health Organization encourages fully vaccinated individuals to mask-up owing to DELTA variant.
When President Biden and the CDC announced masks weren't required if you were fully vaccinated, I was both shocked and elated. Several times in a speech, President Biden merrily explained we can now show our smiles again!
Voila! When we returned from a trip to Winthrop (most of the boutiques had restrictions) we discovered this COVID sign at QFC-Bella Bottega alerting customers: "Masks not required for fully vaccinated individuals." Was I smiling! 😃 I'm fully vaccinated. Thanks President Biden!
When we were in the store at 6:30 p.m. yesterday it appeared everyone was masked-up. I discussed the new policy with a checker. He said his vaccination card was on file in the office and he wasn't required by management to mask-up. But he thought the opening was too early.
It's amazing when only six months ago we were told to limit our time there, shop alone, or "pick up." Grocery stores were some of the most dangerous places to be. Personally, feel comfortable when not wearing in grocery stores; Costco is a different thing - I felt anxious.

Walking next to an un-masked person in QFC should be enough motivation to get vaccinated or put a mask on. It's a sad day when we have to offer lottery tickets & other perks to motivate.
