Got kicked out of a Potbelly for not wearing a mask. I went in to pick up a to go order for my office that was already paid for. Anyone who has been to Potbelly knows it's a quick process to grab a to go order and go. Within 30 seconds of me being in there one of the employees asked me to leave the restaurant. I turned around and pointed at 5 people in the restaurant eating with no mask on. I asked the employee why it was an issue that I sit at a table with no one within 15 feet of me with no mask, while these people are a foot away from each other laughing. Does eating food make you immune to spreading the virus? He blamed it on company policy, to which I responded, "That's some Communist sheep bullshit thinking. Use your brain."
I am absolutely sick of these adult children unable to make rational decisions for themselves. Even if it is company policy - what did you have to gain out of going out of your way to kick me out of your restaurant? I'm done with Potbelly. Put this company on the long list I'm done with. They've obviously brainwashed their employees enough to be considered woke beyond repair.
They are enjoying their new found power - they are tripping - little do they see they are just like the brownshirts
Sad, but absolutely true.
Maybe we should stop calling them libtards, a badge they seem to wear with honor, and instead call them the Brownshirts that they are.
they likely won't know what that means
Good. I'm a liberal and support none of this bullshit. These people are commies.
Yes!
I got into a good argument at Potbelly a few days ago. Walked in wearing my mask on my wrist. They told me I need to wear a mask. I said "I am wearing it" and showed my wrist. They said "On your face". I informed them that the sign doesn't say that... but only says that customers need to wear a mask, which I am doing that.
They said again "It has to be on your face". I argued that then I can't see. They said "No, over your mouth". I informed them that my mask is better at stopping Covid on my wrist.
I got other customers involved and had several people telling them how stupid the mask mandate was?.
Finally, I put the mask on my mouth, but left my nose uncovered. They were tired of arguing and just gave me my order to go.
Supreme troller extraordinaire !
Just remember, when this is all done - she will always be one of the dumb-asses who obeyed.
People need to remember that there is a large portion of the population that will follow orders like good little sheep and will never be an ally of ours.
Some news service had a post on FB about would you wear a mask if they are no longer required by companies. I was appalled at the number of people who said yes. I didn't count them because their stupidity was making my head hurt, but it was a lot.
Yup. When I say never will be our ally, I mean that these people will never be on our side except if they pretend.
There is that old saying though, the enemy of my enemy is my friend or something like that.
There are millions of people that are very self centered and either will not care what the DS is doing or will not believe it enough to care or won't believe it at all.
There are some that will be in favor of the DS and support it.
It doesn't mean everyone not in agreement with us will be bad people, it just means many will never be in agreement with most things with us.
It was nothing personal against them. I feel bad, because he wasn't necessarily doing it in a way that deserved my aggressive response. He was just doing as he was told. That's the only way he'll be able to pay the bills.
My aggressive response was more geared at the fact that I was a paying customer, and I was kicked out before receiving my order. It's bad business to try and humiliate a customer. I will make sure they know that.
You have to stand up against these people though. It doesn't matter if they're following orders. Cops break their oath regularly by following orders of criminal politicians.
In this situation, you should stand firm that you're picking up an order that has already been paid for and then you'll leave. If the employee refuses then you request the manager and the manager will make sure you get what you paid for.
The manager might tell you to wait outside or not come back without a mask but that's when you write off yet another business that will never get your money again.
These places will not learn if we relent. We must let the ones that choose communism over patriotism to fail and close their doors for good.
When places see other places going out of business because of their mask bullshit etc then they will get the hint and if not then they can fade away too.
Americans have that rare spirit. Let businesses go out of business, people will put new businesses in place of them.
That sounds vaguely familiar.....
Haha fair point
I would just say “are you saying you don’t want my money and business?” And wait for a response. I know you’d already paid, but this should work at other stores.
And 1-star google review them so other people KNOW they are mask nazis. People are taking their money elsewhere.
I'm hoping it was not the company policy but that brainwashed employee's instead. She might have said that so she wouldn't have to take ownership of her own stupid beliefs. You should call the head office and tell them of your displeasure.
Any place that will simultaneously allow you to sit down without a mask but not stand up without one is a commie hellhole which should be avoided. It is mass hypnosis out there. How does standing up make you less immune? Do this mean people in wheelchairs never need the mask since they can't stand up and catch it?
Their sandwiches suck anyhow.
Did you get your already paid for food tho?
This is the way. If enough people do this, these power tripping idiots with newfound (masked) confidence will fuck off, realizing it's just not worth it.
It would be funny if you just kept ordering large meals from them, but before they let you pay for the order they kick you out for not wearing a mask. Some time passes, food gets thrown out or given to the employees, manager loses inventory. Try again. Order some food, maybe something different. Walk in to pay for the food, get kicked out, inventory lost. Again and again and again and again
Depending on how it's structured, that manager would really be screwing themselves by digging their heels and clenching their assholes over an obsolete, outdated store policy. On the flipside, the company might not give a shit about how much Sysco crap it throws away. It all depends on how Mr. Krabsey the manager's supervisor is. Would be a funny prank.
Hmmm this could work but you might have to wear the mask until the food was ordered and assembled, then argue with them, don’t pay, and walk out.
not at all, just wait until it tells you the food is ready and make sure to not pay in advance. argue with them only a small amount and then say, "you know what just cancel the order."
they can't force you to pay if you haven't already and then suddenly don't want the food. Just order, wait till it's done, try to pay, disagree over masks, tell them to cancel, rinse and repeat. Huge money loss for them and watch them suddenly say "okay you can pay but next time please wear one" and watch that become their new policy, accept the payment but plead with them to mask up the next time (which he never will). Big downside is when they finally accept you might be out up to a hundred dollars depending on how much food you ordered, but it would be worth it to bring back normalcy.
We should go everywhere with a lollipop and when confronted about no mask...tell them "sorry, eating. Don't have to."
Hell of a business decision to turn away paying customers just because of not wearing a mask-compliance to an illegal mandate without consideration for the rights of the maskless is not only bad business, but a non-American practice. sacrificing freedoms for a false safety will take months to rectify...
Fight the credit card charge thru your CC company.
Magic words, if you're in the mood: "let me speak to your manager." That way the responsible person either takes the hit, or gives you the order. But yeah, not always worth it.
I do not know what a Potbelly is, but it sounds like a bbq place. In NC I saw a bbq place vanish as soon as the pandemic hit. Carter Brothers... gone within about a month or sp. Sad to see this happen. Medical tyranny...
its an over priced sandwich shop and they also server overpriced salads and soups. There cookies are good and not overpriced for how good they are.
Not good enough sammies to pit up with that!
I have 0 patience for brown shirt nazis. I’m done being nice.
nothing will be left standing, most of these businesses will have to relocate out of conservative/pro-2A and/or pro-white areas...
I got kicked out of Chipotle for the same exact reason. Screw these guys
I've been getting into it with my wife lately for this same reason. I keep telling her we don't need masks and she's only doing it because she wants to. We've gone into establishments that don't have mask signs and she still wears it. Drives me nuts. My kids freak out now about not having a mask and it makes me sad they've been conditioned by this bullshit. I've gone hard against it now because of that. I think my wife is coming around to seeing she's been conditioned when she wears a mask even when it's not required.
Take a trip to a state without a bs mask mandate (Florida?) or anywhere where no one gives a damn.
The only way to recondition your wife and kids are to be surrounded by normal people. They will look out of place and start to question why they’re the only ones wearing masks. She needs to see other people without masks, other kids having fun and being normal.
You would be surprised even with no mandates in Florida as of a couple weeks ago 90% still wear them at the stores and restaurants.
We live in AZ, this is why I'm so frustrated with it. Stupid corporations that enforce a non-enforcable mask requirement. I'm about to get militant about it. Sick of this shit. So far most places I enter don't say shit and when I've been asked, I say ok and just keep walking.
Your wife conditioned your children. Every time they see her with it it tells them mask = good
Make sure you're spending a lot of time with your kids. Not always easy to do, but just a friendly suggestion. Saying this as a guy who wishes he spent more time with his dad as a kid. Find something you like to do together, or have them teach you to do what they enjoy. Cheers.
You need to protect those kids from their mother. Its every Fathers job. She will destroy you and your kids if you let her. Take back control before she has them resenting you
it's the government getting private companies to do for them what they cannot do themselves legally. The gov can't make you wear a mask, take the vaccine, and "socially distance", so they get the corporations do it for them via calling for vaccine passports, the mask BS, coercing people to take an experimental drug with various stupid sundry rewards. Gov partnership with corporations to which the end goal is is controlling the population is the definition of fascism.
Same goes for censorship, government can't do it, but companies can. Then, the government decides who runs those companies, or the companies ensure that their friends run the government.
and so called "communists" support it. fascists is what a lot of them are but they've been taught that "fascism" is bad but "democratic socialism" is good, even though they are the same thing
They're just trying to justify their ignorance.
