- On Sunday I went onto a Delta flight.
- As I got onto the plane the flight attendant stops me and tells me that gaiter masks are not allowed.
- She asks me if I have another mask or if they need to come by later and give me one.
- I told her this is my only mask.
- I sat down in my seat and jumped onto my phone and looked up delta policy. They allow gaiter masks if they are more than 1 layer or if they are folded over. So I start filing a complaint with BBB while my wife gets on to Delta airlines Customer service.
- We tell them she is not going by Deltas own rules around masking and continue complaining.
- At this point, the flight attendant comes over with a mask, I show her the policy and she walks away for 5 minutes.
- At this point she comes back, apologized, and said the policy must have changed again.
- We look up when the policy changed, and nothing about gaiter masks has changed for at least 6 months.
- 20 minutes later, she gets on the intercom and apologizes again to everyone, stating that it's a stressful time.
- about an hour later the plane lands and I get off the plane. As I'm getting off she says "sir" I keep walking cause I didn't wanna hear what she had to say.
- she then shouts "sir wait" and gets off the plane and chases me down. She has obviously been crying, she says she is so sorry for attacking me on the plan and she will never do that again.
- I respond with "Okay, Alright." I nod my head and walk away.
- I didn't want her to cry, but just like a child crying after being punished for being bad, sometimes you just have to let them cry and walk away.

She was the one not following the rules
All he did was sit there in a seat, then walk off the plane
He was not required to stop his forward progress and turn around just because someone says sir behind him - what if he was busy or in a hurry
Also, no American citizen can ever be legally compelled to wear any object across their nose and mouth just to suit someone's idea of their medical safety
And businesses violate US Code if they refuse service to someone for refusing to cover their nose and mouth, forcing them wear something that has even a small or slight physical effect on their breathing, for any medical reason; it is practicing medicine without a license.
It's as illegal as posting a sign saying you can't get on this plane if you walk with a limp or have asthma or a cold. They aren't qualified to diagnose your medical condition.
A stewardess crying could be having gas, PMS, too much stress, just broke up with her boyfriend, etc., etc. The guy didn't abuse her IMHO
