    I was at Costco in Sequim a few days ago and there were two women wearing masks but not covering their nose. An employee asked them to please pull up their masks over their noses and they said they "couldn't breathe" She then said she had to report they were in the store and asked again, but they just said, never mind we will just leave and were grumbling under their breath. The store employee did what store policy says, but of course these women refused he request. I thank her for doing her job. She was not rude to them, but was very calm. People like these two, are why we can't control this virus in America.

    Would it have been so hard for them to pull up their masks?
