I am in DC now and just went into a CVS to buy some alka seltzer. There was a short African employee working there and he said "put on your mask!"
I just ignored him and looked around for my merchandise. I took the elevator up and then all of a sudden seven cops approached me (led by this man) and told me to put on a mask.
I pulled out a mask and popped it on. The mask nazi was not happy and said "I want you to go!" The cops said I'd have to leave.
I dont really want to spend my time in DC in jail so I left.
I kid you not, FIVE cop cars were parked in front of CVS!
You have no idea what is coming your way.
Yes.... da Masks da Masks
Were all gonna die !!!!!!
Show me numbers from CDC on deaths total for last 5 years, then show me so figures, and there better be a HUGE difference.
The mask nazis are nearby named
Maren’s
A regional big box store in town hands out masks to forgetful customers. Seems like the appropriate thing to do if you want to keep a customer that could spend mega bucks at the store.
So CVS’s now offer surgical services to the public. Who knew????
****Keep in mind that I also believe a private employer should be able to exclude employees and customers for whatever reason he sees fit, too. ****
Since what you believe is all skittles and unicorn farts in the real world, what do you say to reality?
I don’t care about “unequal treatment” in a private business establishment. I don’t treat MY clients “equally.” Why the hell would I expect someone else to?
I always wonder when they march white males off to the FEMA gulags if they will require masks to be worn in the box cars?
Stores, and store employees, will get in trouble if they call the cops on blacks, for any reason.
Incidents of calling police on black people lead states to consider new laws
"Lawmakers across the country have proposed legislation that hopes to curb the practice by issuing fines or criminalizing police calls that make false or trumped-up allegations, particularly against people of color."
In practice, if an employee calls police against a mask-less black person, the employee is the one who will get into trouble.
Actually, it’s my understanding there was a study about 40 years ago that showed no increased risk if surgeons/nurses skipped the masks during surgery.
So, Yeah, I’d probably be OK with it.
I don’t know what “reality” you live in. I run my business as I see fit. I have no reason to complain when someone else does.
Wonder no more.
Of course we’ll be required to wear masks in the box cars (or school busses).
They’re a sign of submission.
“The government put those signs up? That’s the first time I’ve heard of such a thing.
In any case, it’s not your property. You play by their rules or you leave.”
You are just deliberately being obtuse now. I suppose you argue it’s business owners ideas to limit seating also.
My guess is that you know how foolish you are to wear a mask, and when someone else refuses to wear one, it reminds you of it.
***I don’t know what “reality” you live in***
I Live in a reality where hundreds of my friends are out of a job because the tried to live in your skittles and unicorn farts world, and were told that their acquiescence to to the rules would allow them to “survive through this” only to have the rules changed, now they are destitute.
Go sell your Rules De Marque somewhere else.
“Target and CVS to require face masks for customers”
Odd...I entered CVS last week to pickup a prescription sans mask. I wasn’t approached, pummeled, arrested or ejected from said store.
I’m sure enforcement of company policy is dependent on individual local employees, but people are immeasurably better off knowing the rules before they confront employees or cops.
“you’d find multiple instances of unmasked African-American patrons “
Let’s throw the race card into the mix.. /s
I would have made sure to get his name and contact Corporate.
I’ve spent the last ten months going out of my way to support local businesses that openly defy the restrictions and shutdown orders imposed by my state. That’s the proper way to act on principle. Walking into someone else’s place of business and telling them that THEY should be as defiant as you is not.
