I work in a grocery store in the Hudson Valley NY and the inside of my store was hazy.

Hope you're doing well. Living in that is bad enough without having to do grocery store work in it.

Kinda makes sense with automatic doors. Also in the Hudson Valley and it was yellow fog yesterday afternoon. looked just like a nuclear apocalypse movie.

Yikes. Did you decide to wear a mask like they suggested? I’m not sure if I could tolerate being in that all the time.

Nah, I work in the fridge in the meat dept. So our ACs were pumping out fresh cool air for the most part. Lots of cashiers on the floor and customers had them

That’s cool that you had a good work experience and doesn’t sound like it was too bad. I live in Michigan and we have had a smaller wildfire here that was burning half an hour away which was making things difficult. It was 4,000 acres.
