Kind of like give them the big bird?
Me: My medical condition precludes me from wearing a mask over my mouth and nose. To inquire of the specifics of my medical condition is a violation of HIPPA laws.
They are overpriced little Karen’s. Their policy is ludicrous and they have decided that by 2021 or 2022 you can’t have a plastic single use bag to carry all the items you bought their packaged in single use plastic home in.
Probably 20% of the population has some degree of difficulty breathing or shortness of breath. Forcing these folks to wear masks is stupid and even dangerous.
Eff these control freaks.
Had someone whine about wearing a mask who is on oxygen, something ridiculous that they saw on YouTube about exposing themselves to high CO2 levels. I asked them why not use the oxygen mask the medical supply company gave them when they delivered the oxygen if the nose appliance failed to work.
I get not wanting to wear a mask. I don't want to wear a mask either, and I go out of my way to avoid places that require them. But I also respect private property - those that do require them have every right to eject shoppers who fail to comply.
It’s sad that even grocery chains are fascist.
No freaking mask, no patronizing. Very few wear them down here in the semi-free state of Tennessee.
From last month. Businesses that have knuckled under to these EOs richly deserve the legal hot mess they’ve got coming...

I’m split on this one. Personally, I just would stop shopping there, no law suit in other words. On the other hand, I want to see Giant-Eagle lose in court. I’m sick and tired of businesses playing politics. Wearing a mask at this point is politics. Christ, I was in the hospital for an outpatient procedure today and most of the time I didn’t have my mask on. Not a word from anyone. The staff and doctors I talked to are not buying this hoax. Although there is a clear facade imposed by the hospital administration as you enter the building - temp taken and given a mask. But after that it was optional. What does that have to do with Giant-Eagle? Just like the hospital had a facade playing to Karens so does Giant-Eagle, but their stupid-schiff employees take it more seriously than trained medical professionals.
I obeyed, and this is what happened:
So go somewhere else. Is that the only place in town? Tell them to kiss your hip pockets and move on.
These people just need to get a prescription from their doctor and then use that to get a Mask Disability Placard issued by the municipality, which they can then wear around their neck every time they go out.
“In the span of just three weeks, the number of lawsuits in the region has grown to 32, all represented by attorney Thomas Anderson.”
What a coinkydink.
“According to her complaint, Duckstein has vasovagal syncope, a condition where blood pressure and heart rate suddenly drop, causing her to faint; post-traumatic stress disorder; and a form of anxiety that makes it difficult to breathe while wearing a mask.”
They forgot to mention her Munchausen syndrome...
“Disabilities?” But they’ve been saying that they, the vulnerable folks, should stay at home and let the younger folks do the running around and shopping. Can’t they make up their minds?
If you have too much trouble breathing to be out in crowds, stay home and let the free and young people do the shopping. —Flubros
