I'm going clothes shopping for the first time since before 2020.
My last time grocery shopping was mid-May.
My last time in another store was the beginning of June. I wore a face mask that day though I think other people weren't.
According to this page: major retailers' face mask requirements,
it looks like most (or all) stores no longer require fully vaccinated shoppers to wear face masks. Around here that means probably no one, especially non-vaccinated people, will be wearing them.
According to the SC DHEC dashboard, 41% of South Carolinians have been fully vaccinated, and 48% have had at least one dose.
COVID-19 delta variant increasingly spreads in US but SC detection system not finding it (June 23, 2021)
"Because the state does not routinely screen for variants, only four delta cases have been confirmed in the state."
I guess I'll still wear a face mask even if I don't see anyone else wearing one.
..
Addendum: Many, maybe even most of the people I saw in the stores were still wearing face masks. I was pleasantly surprised.
Something I hadn't considered was that the stores might have their fitting rooms closed. Both JCPenny and Kohl's had signs in front of fitting rooms saying they were closed. Perhaps other fitting rooms in the same stores were still open, I'm not sure. I didn't find any clothes that interested me in there anyway.

Why aren’t all the dressing rooms open?(2021 June 9)
Target is reopening fitting rooms after keeping them closed more than a year amid COVID-19 (2021 May 31)
The fitting rooms at Target were open. I found 3 nice pairs of pants there. Though still not as comfortable as my old cargo pants which have started getting holes at the knees. I bought some iron-on patches for them at Walmart.
