This can apply to any grocery store, pharmacy, and amusement park. If there is someone at the entrance handing out masks and forcing you to put one on, politely tell them “No.” If they claim it’s “company policy” or “local law”, either leave or inform them that they are violating your rights under the ADA. Considering that even the healthiest person is more likely to die from bacterial infections caused by extended use of a OSHA-classified MEDICAL DEVICE, anyone and everyone in the entire country is qualified for a disability exemption, so long as you are a U.S. citizen. You are also NOT required to share your disability or reasons for an exemption under the HIPAA act. If you didn’t already, collect photographic evidence and record any conversation between you and the employee. Take notes of what they are wearing, record their name and occupation, and ask them to remove their mask when speaking to you. I’d also like to point out that the same goes for a religious exemption, as God gave you a nose and mouth to breathe with, not behind a coward’s mask. Remember to always remain civil and polite throughout the conversation. If the employee threatens to call law enforcement to remove you, inform them that you will be calling the Sheriff. Do not call a local police department, go straight to the Sheriff’s Office. Take for example, Tennessee, which currently has no mask mandate on the state level (possible FF incoming!) but the city of Pigeon Forge does. As such, a favorite theme park of mine, Dollywood, is requiring them as well.
