I was kicked out of a store today for refusing to wear a mask. The girl (I’m guessing, always hard to tell with these people) handed me a mask as I walked in. I continued to walk without putting it on my face. She FOLLOWED me and, causing a scene, told me I needed to put it on my face or leave. I turned around, dropped the mask on the floor and walked out leaving my boyfriend standing there with his mask on. I’m DONE with this.
Side note: I also witnessed a man wearing gloves use hand sanitizer today... on the gloves. I’m fucking done. Get me out of this nightmare.
If you are planning on leaving anyway, you should at least pull a whole bunch of individual items from the shelves and put it in your cart. Preferably from the far corners of the store, and with a preference for things that are obscure so the staff won't know where they go. If it is a grocery store, frozen and refrigerated items are preferred.
Leave eventually, but not before creating an entire basket full of go backs. You can put a lot into a shopping cart in under 5 minutes if you are determined. Then send your friends in after 5 minutes to do the exact same thing. If everyone did this, they'd either change their policy or be swamped under a massive workload.
