I have yet to come across anyone who started laughing at me or someone else for wearing a mask, we might all feel silly wearing one but it's the world we live in right now. If anything, I get death stares if I don't have a mask on because, I forget to grab one before leaving the house sometimes.

This is surprising, given the handwritten note on their door about the seriousness. I will see if I can direct Chip Skelley to this thread.

The police will give you a $400 ticket for not wearing a mask. You can't get into any store, bank, etc. without one.
My electrician's sister got hit with a $400 fine for talking to her neighbor, from her front yard, without a mask. A lamp repair shop, in my neighborhood, was fined $500, although he had a "closed" sign on his door, his door was unlocked and the police saw someone exiting with a repaired lamp...How do I know? He repaired my lamp the next day and I went through his unlocked door with the "closed" sign on it. I had a friend sitting on a beach and a woman confronted her screaming that she needed to be home, the police were called and they made her leave the beach and go home...My question? What was the other woman doing out?

Another absurdity is that The City Dept.of-Morons, just forced a 200-bed homeless shelter on one of the best neighborhoods in the WORLD and on one of the most expensive pieces of property anywhere. The neighborhood fought it like hell and lost. It's now being evacuated because of the Wuhan Virus spread.

To the City of SF....
I called it a "homeless shelter" I do apologize...I know it is a "Navigation Center" Please do not send the police! I will never, ever refer to it as an "homeless shelter" again! It's now an empty building on a multi-gazillion $ property ..half-way between the Bay Bridge and AT&T Park on the Embarcadero...Bay front views...With no occupants I know this is not a Lakes Region issue...But it is a piece of universal knowledge that should be learned from planet lunatic...

Of course I don't know what happened but Skelley's owner is defending her/himself saying this didn't happen.

I delivered product to Skellys yesterday at high noon. Holy crap! There must have been a minimum of 20 people in that store and not one had a mask and everyone was less than a foot apart waiting in line!

For the paranoid....a NH license is no guarantee that it is not an out of stater spreading disease.
Also, NH license could also be a stater returning from FL. Beware. This is true but tongue-in-cheek. As Pogo says “we have met the enemy and it is us”

Just an FYI, it is not just Skelley's where people and employees are not wearing facemasks and staying 6 feet from each other. I was at Hunters in Wolfeboro a few days ago and no employees were wearing masks, approx. only 1/3rd of shoppers were wearing masks, and no one was staying 6 feet from one another.

Did anyone read the Laconia Daily Sun today? There’s an article in there about restaurants and the tourist season that is pretty eye-opening. People in the industry do not see how this can be a normal season. |

I'm with C-Bass. I love Skelley's, and I would guess from the normally excellent operations that the owner's a good guy. But that does not mean there weren't a couple of dopes at the register or that the owner has done enough on social distancing. Plus, chasedawg and JADAQ are generally reliable correspondents.
So let's hope they get their act together soon--I hope to be in there once or twice a week beginning in May, but I will not if there is no regard for social distancing |

Luckily I have the lake house, But I also spend time camping in the summer. This year I believe I am going to take the camper to the lake home and store it there, instead of using a storage yard in Ma. to have it close by. The bottom line is I don't see camping being a reality this summer.

I guess this will make social distancing a little easier. I guess I'm being a little selfish when I say, I wouldn't mind a slower summer season at the lake.

I want to say first off, that I am a big fan of Skelly's. Great people, great food. Been going there for years.
However, since this has begun, I have really avoided going in there. I rarely go out anyway. However, if I do need to get something, I really need to gauge how crowded it is, and it has been crowded lately(which is good for business, I know). I get particularly concerned and will not go in there if I notice an out of state plate in the parking lot. I have never been laughed at for wearing a mask. I am however in the minority in wearing a mask, I have not see any employee wearing a mask either. They also check people out side by side sometime which is uncomfortable. After that happened to me I happen to notice the guy I was just standing a few feet from jump in his mini van with CT plates. So since that happened a few weeks ago, I have not been back. I will return again at some point, its a great store. As I said before I generally don't leave my property. I do my grocery shopping once a week, other than that I rarely leave the house and have very little face to face human interaction. I am 35, healthy, but, I have seen this virus kill relatively healthy young people, so I am going to my best to limit my exposure. Once cases drop dramatically in NH and surrounding states, I will modify my behavior. Until than I treat everyone including family members as if they are carriers of the disease. So If someone Skelly's is watching, I would suggest employee's wear face mask, no checking out side by side, and there may come I time when you need to limit the amount of people in the store. That is my 5 cents.. |

I went to True Value in Center Harbor last weekend.
A sign on the door stated, please wear a mask for the safety of our employees. Sounded reasonable so I went back to my car and got a mask. I put it on and went inside. Not one employee was wearing a mask! I thought to myself, what about the safety of your customers! |

(Insert derogatory interjection here) 1. The OP has never been untruthful to me before. 2. If the employees were wearing masks nobody could see them smirking and laughing, nor would they have reason to laugh.

So bottom line is this, the OP has no first hand knowledge if this happened nor do you or I for that matter. Interesting how a business can get a black eye from he said she said post's.
