Parent: Chol Hamoed trip to the supermarket?

Child: What? Nooooo!

Parent: Okay, we have YomTov leftovers if you’d like instead...

Child: *getting shoes* Let’s go to the supermarket already...

you're lucky, my version is more like this:

Parent: Chol Hamoed trip to the supermarket?

Child: What? Nooooo!

Parent: Okay, we have YomTov leftovers if you’d like instead...

Child: What? Nooooo!
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

Dear Friends,
This is a very difficult email for me to write. Unfortunately, SeaWorld informed us that they are cancelling all group tickets, including ours,  for tomorrow. The reason that they gave is that they had difficulty enforcing their mask policy amongst the various groups that were in Sea World today. Yeshiva of Miami prides ourselves on our complete transparency and communication when it comes to our customers. We are therefore sharing all the details with you, although it may be too lengthy. Please feel free to skip to the end of this email if you want to!   
There were about 6 groups in Sea World today, all of which were Jewish groups. Our shared experiences were not great.
I have been in touch with quite a number of the participants today and many of them shared that they felt unfairly singled out regarding masks today.
I have had hundreds of pictures sent to me by our SeaWorld guests today showing very flagrant mask violations by many people that were clearly not in our group.
I spent about 4 hours today on the phone with SeaWorld explaining how our guests felt unfairly singled out today, and how this colored their Sea World experience.
I offered alternative ways to make this work. I explained that tomorrow the weather would be cooler and mask wearing would be less challenging.
I offered to them that I would ask each participant to sign a "Mask Contract" and I would offer a full refund to anyone who didn't agree to sign that contract.
I spoke to our attorney who explained that as a private entity, especially during covid, SeaWorld is allowed to make this choice and we don't have much legal recourse.
I literally tried everything. Sea World was not willing to budge.
Therefore, it is with a heavy heart that we are forced to cancel our group trip for tomorrow. We will be giving a full refund to everyone. The refunds will be processed after Pesach. Please be patient because it may take a few days to get to all the refunds.
We realize we are disappointing many people and that you now have to tell your family that your plans for tomorrow have been cancelled. We feel terrible and hope you realize that this literally hurts us more than it hurts you, on many levels. You are welcome to buy tickets directly from Sea World and enter through the main entrance. I will caution you that I have heard from many of today's participants that it was very crowded and that many of the rides that were supposed to be open, were actually closed, leading to unreasonably long lines. Additionally, many of the shows were operating at 25% capacity and unless you were waiting in line for an hour beforehand, you couldn't be guaranteed a seat at the show. In general, people that went today did not seem to have the best experiences, so take this into advisement when deciding if you want to purchase full price tickets for tomorrow.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, comments, or anything else. I will try to respond as quickly as possible.

If they would have done this to the blacks/Asians every company/organization/politician would come out with a hashtag how they are against racism

And we'd have full "Have we gone too far" threads about it.

Bechlal the Jews left Egypt the same way we go on Chol Hamoed trips.
They spoke about it for a year, prepared the night before, somehow were still rushing so much the only food they took was matzah, and despite being up early, only left at noon.

My takeaway from traveling around on chol hamoed: A nekama in Hitler.

Klal Yisrael in the metro is bh growing exponentially. Enough to fill up every single attraction in the tristate area every day. American Dream is packed and 90% Jewish. No wonder they're bankrupt. There are thousands of Jews here alone. Very few goyim. Stores not catering to Jews such as zara etc. are absolutely deserted. Also most Jews just came to stroll around, it seemed.

This has more to do with COVID than Hitler. Bottom line, this mindset is outdated: Hitler is either already avenged (as you say yourself), and we have thus to move on from that survivor mindset (disclaimer: my grandparents are survivors). Or world Jewry numbers are still far below 1939 and we have a long way to go, and no amount of American Dream evidence will change that, so our avenging isn’t working out all that well.
