I walked into a restaurant for a carry out order the other day. I was the only customer. I wasn’t wearing a mask. As soon as I got in, the owner took hers off too.

Yesterday, as an experiment, I went to the grocery store without my mask. No one, not even the employees said anything

His actions are enabled by the hysteria of numerous Freepers.

“Sad for people whose real name is ‘Karen’, many of whom do not meet the new, unflattering definition/standard of the busybody Karen.”

But have you met any Karens that did NOT live up to that description? All the Karens that I can remember meeting fit that description.

Not reading the article but imagine it didn’t detail how many of Cuban’s secret shoppers immediately dropped dead from this “non-compliance?”

Try being raised a “Dick.”

There is no requirement that you adhere to the stereotype.

The deal with Secret Shoppers is that they are invited in. Without this, negative information promulgated by such an act opens the door to Libel lawsuits.. which should be immediately filed by any company that Cuban and his representatives named.

This is a big no no and can invite triple damages.

Cuban is obligated to PROVE his allegations. And, the Secret Shoppers hand written report (allegations) ain’t going to cut it. And, if they video taped, they have to deal with violations of privacy issues. Its fun until you get that summons.

The ONLY time I have worn a mask was to get my haircut. At no time was I ever endangering anyone or putting them at risk.

Live free or Die as a slave to the government.

I real life Cuban is probably an extreme germ-o-phobe. So he thinks everyone else must be one too. Hopefully word gets out on his sneaky activity and attendance goes down for the Mavericks.

Nor a good friend of my who is a long-time hospital volunteer who also cares for her elderly mother. I wish they had used the name “Tiffany” instead of “Karen”.

Mark Cuban must be one of the people democrats are looking at to replace Biden.

This ‘secret shopper’ thing is bogus... it won’t be ‘government decree’ about opening or not - or regulations - it’ll be the invisible hand of capitalism that will be the final determinate : do people feel safe shopping there, spend money there, to re-open themselves to the community.

If I owned a store and the ‘government opening thing’ wasn’t working, I’d be running ads about UV in my AC ductwork that kills virus, taking temps and offering cheap masks to people who want to shop but don’t have a masks... I’d make MY store safer. My business MORE caring. Then again if ‘opening’ works I’d start throwing bigger money into the already swollen stock market...
