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.

[i][c=#BF0080]Some may def have issues, but most others likely don’t. If I can manage them- they bring on asthma attacks almost every time I wear them even short term, most people should be able to too. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 most yes but not all and that situation was absolutely not ok keep away be smart and keep your opinions quiet simply because they may be suffering

@Rosiechick13 [i][c=#BF0080]If I can respect them by wearing one myself knowing what I’m in for, they likely can too. This is coming from someone who has basically the same type of attack each time I shop as the man you described only mine is due to physically wearing a mask to protect and respect others’ safety. There are other options for everyone though. [/c][/i]

@MellyMel22 again most likely. You don't know their past that's the issue

@Rosiechick13 [i][c=#BF0080]I know you described this man as using an inhaler due to stress and I KNOW I will need one from wearing a mask most times I shop, but I still wear one. If he feels it’s life threatening he can get a note from a Dr to flash. And as I said before, there are other options for those who need them. [/c][/i]
