Anyone else?

It's a new one for me. As I walked in I was just behind a guy with a high vis jacket and wondered if he had something on him that had triggered the sensors but then an assistant came waddling over waving a mask at me "Do you need a mask?"

I've seen prototypes for the tech online but that involved an ipad and screening up close. I checked on the way out and there was a normal looking CCTV camera that must be attached to the mask detection software.

It's really really important to raise your voice and yell "I have a medical condition. I can't wear a mask" and make sure as many customers around you hear it. I rarely ever go into big stores, but if I absolutely have to I do that, and the people behind me acquire medical conditions as well.

Ha. I recently tried that at Best Buy. The goon at the front door said “I understand, that’s why we have a face shield for you”. I said “I will not wear that”. She said “sir sir.. “. I kept walking and said “call the police, I’m going to get what I came for”. That was the end of it. I went to check out and they pulled me out of the line and immediately checked me out. Win win. Fuck them. Call all their bluffs. Make them “trespass” you from the property.

Yeah I've done that a few times and it is funny when the people behind you start joining in :D
