In the netherlands 80% of the people are vaccinated, i don't follow the news so when i arrived at the supermarket there was a sign saying facemasks are mandatory. i went in anyway as i needed food. a few masked people gave me a thumbs up and i wasn't bothered by anyone while shopping. when i went to pay for my stuff i went to an automatic pay desk, usually i stand in line as i try to pay as much with cash money as possible, for i am weary of the future. where we have to pay health insurance according to our shopping habits. (yeah i know, i am slightly paranoid about totalitairism.)

as i went to pay for my stuff, i noticed two young employees discussing weather or not they had to adress me and finally one of them went to get an older women. she asked me if i had a mask and i told her i don't watch the news so i wasn't aware the vaccines didn't do trheir job well enough to protect those that are affraid. she told me i wasn't allowed to pay for my shopping and that i had to leave. i asked her how else i would have to get food and she told me i could have it home delivered and i should get take out for today. i was starting to get upset and i she treathened to get the police involved. i know i should've stayed, but i emptied my basked on the floor and i walked out. i feel so powerless and depressed right now, i don't know how i can deal with this without letting it suck all my energy out. i could start a journal, but i also like to hear how you would deal with this.

we have marches against these regulations, but it feels so useless. the kingdom will do what the kingdom will do. it's infuriating and it breaks my spirit.

if poal is not the place to share these sort of things, i will not post stuff like this again, i do feel slightly better having written this.

If employees threaten to call the police over masks, just go about your business normally. Don't be afraid of meaningless threats. If the police actually find you and start asking questions - FIRMLY tell them that YOU DO NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS. If they ask why you don't or won't, firmly tell them - "Like I said, I do not answer questions".

That sounds like solid advice. I will take it and apply it. I would've waited for police if it didn't catch me off guard. I'm braver then my post makes me look. Thank you.

I'm a right bastard. Once ip pulled a knife on someone who threatened me in Home Depot because I had the audacity to use the cashier checkout instead of the self checkout because he was already in the long line for self checkout and there was only one person in line at the cashier checkout.

Oh here's the kicker: the self checkouts didn't take cash and I had only 2 items from the fastener bins which cost less than $2 combined.

This crazy asshole who was at least 6'4" then ran over to the lumber checkout and picked up a metal station and tried to run over and hit me with it, but store staff who were already on the phone with police tried to get in his way, and he started chasing anyone who impeded him.

Of course the pigs victim blamed me.

I don't understand this. Why did he threaten you? What is the thinking here? He didn't want you using a cashier? Why would he even give a damn about that? Wasn't he in the self-checkout?

You'll be arrested, you're better off just leaving the scene and hoping nobody cares enough to remember your license plate number.
