Had a fat black woman at our local market get in my face for not wearing a mask. I told her I don't need one, she gets all uppity and then runs off to snich. New hire on a power trip. Management told her to leave me alone.
If she was afraid of your maskless face then she wouldn't have gotten in your face.
I know. I've had confrontations there with cashiers, baggers, cart jockeys, the assistant manager and the CEO of the chain. Always I refer back to the state health department guidelines which none of them have read or follow. Neither do any of them know and follow state law. Instead the fallback position is always, "It's our store policy." Notice the phrasing. It's not even the corporate policy, never mind the fact that "store policy" can't abrogate or supersede state or federal law. I have a medical exemption which according to the state guidelines you don't need proof and there are enough exemptions that anyone can claim an exemption for something as mild as anxiety over wearing a mask. These mandates are not real. They are not law. So many issues I can argue for hours. At this point only a new hire will make the mistake of approaching me.
I've had people with their masks on their chins cross streets to harass me because I was standing alone between parked cars vaping far away from any other person. They came up to me and got in my personal space to tell me they didn't want to breath my air. uh, then stay away from me. And do it now.
