Dear community. LISTEN UP!

This needs to be said. I just watched a gentlemen get screamed at by another customer, so bad that security was needed when he didn't wear a mask in the store. As I walked to my car I saw the maskless guy again.... In his car about hyperventilating using an inhailed. I personally and many others had a hand held over my mouth to muffle my cry's for help, and tape put on my face, I go into full blown attacks with one on, and I've gotten looks and comments because I'm going and healthy so there is "no reason I can't" .... You DO NOT know what the heck other people have been through or what conditions they have. If you are scared keep your six feet, hell walk further around if need be but do not come after people who aren't wearing one. Thank you for attending my TED talk.

People that have a legitimate reason to not wear a mask (like the guy you mentioned to has asthma) probably shouldn’t be in a public setting and should have someone do shopping for them.

But if that’s not possible, get a plastic face shield.

Badges are nice, but folks have been forging them. Right now, society isn’t comprised of people who trust one another.

There are zero legitimate reasons today to be around other people without some kind of covering.

Zero.

@JoeyFoxx if you keep distance your fine the CDC literally says if you have a medical condition do not wear one

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 the CDC also recommends face shields for people who can’t wear masks.

6 feet of distance 100% of the time in a store doesn’t happen. Most of us have experienced this.

People who cannot wear masks are putting others and themselves at risk. The “wear a mask or not” discussion is dumb.

@JoeyFoxx actually what I do is put it over my chin and slide it up if someone has to pass long enough that they can and then take it back down

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

That’s what most of us do.

I hate wearing a mask. But I do it to be a responsible member of society. Debate unwarranted

@Rosiechick13

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx not really though some don't and that's their choice

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 what is this “choice” crap?

People have always had the choice to be ignorant douchebags. That’s literally not the point.

The man in your made up story had many choices, and chose to victimize himself.

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx actually it happened at Kroger 2 days ago. Lol. But that aside where is the my body my choice argument people have now? The guy yelling was the "ignorant douche bag"

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 I’m not excusing the dude yelling. But people have been guilty of poorly measured reactions on both sides of an argument that isn’t necessary.

I don’t suppose you stepped in to offer to shop for the guy with asthma did you?

Nope, you decided to posts about what you imagine to be his suicidal tendencies.

So helpful.

@JoeyFoxx hoping to educate lol. I also didn't have a mask covering my face. I was in the next isle and he was cashing out. Security was handling it when I got up there

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 you are educating folks by comparing Nazi Germany to Communism?

Please do us a favor, before you educate other, educate yourself.

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx well educated just not dealing with ass holes trying to put a label on me lol

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 sweetheart, the only one labeling you is you.

You are a self described disingenuous troll.

But hey, you are simply exercising your right to free speech.

So am I.

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx you literally said wear a badge. I'm not wearing a badge telling people that I'm disabled.

Rosiechick13 · 26-30, F

@JoeyFoxx my aim is more to get people to understand that sometimes these things can't be helped and people need to get over themselves

JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M

@Rosiechick13 your aim is to be a troll.

Nothing more.

Nothing less.
