I am not sure how people can take on a retail employee who is simply trying to enforce their store’s policy.
Don’t those folks get enough crap from customers? Yes....yes, they do.
So long as it goes no further than just telling me that I must either mask up or leave per company rules. But if you in any way attempt to place your hands on me for any reason as an employee someone is going to get hurt. I will not allow any store employee to physically assault me by placing their hands on me. Employees must understand their proper roles here so that they or their customers get hurt.
At one time the store policy was blacks to the back of the bus and separate water fountains...
