Had my first interaction with a Maskita today.
Stop and Shop in Hingham, about 1000. Maybe 80% are masked.
At the top of the canned veggie aisle, I stop waiting to grab some canned mushrooms. A woman about 60ish wearing a mask inside out is standing there, blocking my path and in front of the mushrooms. My cart and another 3' or so separates her from me.
She looks at me and starts saying something, but I can't understand her due the the mask and I am a little deaf.
"Ma'am, are you speaking to me? Sorry I can't understand you?" I say with a smile on my face.
Garbled reply from her, but I can tell it was angry, catch a word here or there so I now know she isn't going to ask me to retrieve something off a top shelf for her (this happens to me often, I must have that kind of face).
More angry noises "you can hear me, you people," etc. etc. I still can't catch what she is saying but it obvious she is crazy and mad.
"Ma'am, I still can't hear you." I say
She gets in my face, she is 60ish, overweight, and about 5' tall. I am 6' 220# wearing a red flannel jacket, work boots and army drab ball cap. She is assessed to not be a real threat, lol.
Holds her fist to my face, and threatens to hit me. "Ma'am, if you're going to hit me, then do it." still smiling. I say excuse me ma'am, and reach behind her for the mushrooms (now that she has moved I can get them).
She starts walking away still yelling something unintelligible. "Ma'am, I still can't understand you. What is your problem?" She replies very loudly FINALLY "It's you people, I'm going to call the police!" "Yes Ma'am, please feel free to call the police" I respond, still smiling. She moves forward with her cart, to where someone has left a cart on the opposite side, and yells "Get in front of me! motioning forward sever times, saying this repeatedly.
"Ma'am, I gladly would but I can't, there isn't enough room." So she backs up now, and I go past.
I'm not black, so it must be my lack of mask. I see here a few times further, and I give her the big grin and eyes front treatment.
