I just had a very similar experience in Wyoming. Employees in businesses were wearing masks, but almost none of the customers were.
It's just amazing/sad how tied up with political polarization responses to COVID are. Overheard on the patio of a restaurant:
Dude: I brought a mask with me to ?The Barn? (not sure about name of venue) just in case they required it, 'cause I didn't want to get kicked out. She noticed it in my pocket and called me a pussy.
Girl: I didn't call you a pussy. I said "what are you, a Democrat?"
Dude: Same thing.
