He says "oh - no that's okay, we're okay." I said no, we're NOT okay, I'm asking him to keep his distance from me. He gets snippy and bends down to get something from the side-panel so now his head is maybe 6 inches away from my crotch. I looked up and told his wife that he needs to get his face away from my crotch. I figured maybe she'd understand that this isn't appropriate EVEN If there's no pandemic.

She just rolls her eyes, and the guy gets all ****y and the two of them turn around and leave and go to another self-checkout.

As I'm leaving the store, the woman comes closer from that self-checkout area and calls over to me "is this far enough away now?" I said yes it is, and kept going.

Seriously though - I don't give a rat's behind what YOU think about the masks and social distancing. But the policies of the STORE and the STATE are such that you need to do one or the other. If you're not interested in complying with the rules of civility, then remove yourself from civilization. You don't belong.
Thank you. I'm so sick of the selfish idiots who think they can parade around without masks and get close to others. People have become too complacent. There is still no vaccine. We can't hide out in our houses every second of the day to avoid these selfish individuals - we have doctor's appointments, we need to get gas, groceries, go to the post office, bank, etc. Have a little consideration for the rest of the population. Its a serious public health issue, not your inalienable right to go around unknowingly infecting people.
