Putting the hard in hardware, the top-notch customer service was a home run.
A Seattle man claims he was attacked by a baseball bat-wielding clerk at an Ace Hardware location in an altercation that stemmed from his friend’s refusal to wear a coronavirus mask in the store.
Bobby Dixon, the young man seen in viral video of the altercation, told Jason Rantz of KTTH Radio Seattle Tuesday that he went into the store masked, but his friend declined to put one on.
"They pretty much told him, ‘put a mask on or get out,’" he said. "When he was walking out the door the dude at the counter started running his mouth, being pretty vulgar, and so my buddy started cussing."
The two went on jawing each other until Dixon said he no longer had a desire to shop there.
"At that point they started cussing at me," he said. "They were just attacking us for no reason pretty much, for not having a mask. He was complying with them when they said if you’re not wearing a mask you gotta get out."
After stepping out, Dixon said he turned around to try and get the employee’s name to report him to the manager.
"That’s when I was met with the baseball bat," he told Rantz. "I’m lucky he didn’t hit me or swing with it, you know, I was able to rip it out of his hands."
The video begins at that point – showing a blonde-haired man holding a baseball bat inside the entranceway alongside another man in an Ace shirt and a pulled-down mask.

NOT.
A fight broke out at the Lake City Ace Hardware over masks. When Bobby says he went to complain about poor customer service to a manger, he was met with two employees -- one with a bat.
Then, they fought.
Bobby joins the show today to discuss what happened. (WARNING: Language) pic.twitter.com/eHQSGuMk5h— (((Jason Rantz))) on KTTH Radio (@jasonrantz) June 15, 2021
I know. Some people there are complaining there is no story and taking the side of Ace Hardware. smh.
Leftist democrats demand others be controlled by force and if you do not comply, they demand you be murdered
No shoes, no shirt, no service. No mask, we’ll whack you with a bat.
“Ace is the place for the helpful hardware man”
In post 6, was that the manager in the background pulling his mask down to talk? Interesting thing to do while you are threatening people with physical violence for not wearing a mask
It amazes me that so many people in this country forget there is a 2nd amendment. What would the baseball bat wielding employee have done if the customer had stuck a gun in his face? I always try to be polite to everyone, because you never know who’s carrying.
Yeah I noticed that too!
Everybody knows it’s about virtue signaling, not about health. But only some of us are willing to admit it.
In this case he was lucky he didn't get beaten with his own bat. The bat wielding Ace Hardware employee was rapidly disarmed by the customer who could have just grabbed the bat and started using it. He chose not to, but seemed a more capable fighter than the Ace Hardware employee.
I would hope that the Ace Hardware regional manager would arrange for some new staffing, and much better training for their store employees. Starting fights with customers is rarely a good idea.
Kids taking a break from their night time pantyfa activities.
That is exactly when you legally present your concealed carry weapon !
No masks at our ACE including employees.
The only thing missing here is the play by play from Pat Summerall.
