In Utah its pretty lax and basically non existent outside of at a few national chain stores and restaurants that have it due to their corporate policy. Most of them have a 'masks required to enter' sign up and mostly everyone just ignores it. There are only 2 places I can think of that literally have someone sit up front and hand you a mask.
Other than having a guy with literally the only Biden/Harris shirt I've ever seen in my life have a fit about me not wearing a mask at a Petsmart last year and was promptly told that if he continued to talk to me while wearing that faggot fucking shirt that he was going to be punched in the dick, I have ran into zero 'mask people'.
Until Friday.
Was out late at a machine shop getting something worked on. We were dead tired and I was starving. On the way home the only thing I drove past was a panda express, which I have perpetually made fun of as 'not being actual food'. I go in and right away knew some weirdness was afoot because after I walked in, they locked the door even though they didn't close for another 45 minutes. I found out they do this after there are X amount of people standing waiting in line. Great. So I make my way up to the order counter after having waited the better part of 15 minutes, mostly due to literally 4 people apparently having a job description of 'do whatever job you feel like doing at this moment' and I state my order right off the bat. I'm easy and efficient that way; not sure why 75% of people get up there and then want to talk or have no fucking idea what they're going to order.
Some 17 year old beanpole looks at me like I had just pulled a fucking chainsaw out and asks.....do you not have a mask???? I look at him, with no mask on my face and a look that says 'put my food in the fucking container you fucking muppet' and say.....obviously not. He then disappears into the back. WTF. This is why there are always 4878979089 people in the drive thru - its not because its popular, its because you drive in and are fucking trapped for an hour because ever panda express I have ever been to takes 100 times longer than it needs to do figure out how to put food in a fucking bowl and pass it down to the fucking register.
Dumbshit wanders back and hands me a mask. I just look at him, keep it in my hand and repeat my order. He's now confused as to why the mask is still in my hand and after a 10 second staring contest, starts getting the 'food' together (which he manages to fucking forget if I say more than 1 thing at a time). The irony here was that not only did I obviously not give a shit, but they had 2 employees on 'break' sitting inside eating, with no masks on at the time.
Its literally an idiot test at this point.

) to revise its mask orders to cover kids down to the age of 2. Now, my 6-year-old will willingly wear a mask just so long as he can fashion a neck gaiter into a ninja mask (he will likely continue doing this for the next several years), but it would be absolute hell to enforce this upon the parents of toddlers. And yet I know damn well we're about to hear all sort of bullshit stories about getting kicked out of certain stores because someone's 3-year-old dared to expose their nose.
