I live in a liberal place, and I've always worn a mask into my local grocery store. Today was the day I decided to go in maskless and see the reaction. I was definitely nervous at first, but after no immediate confrontation was made, I relaxed a bit and went on my way shopping. When it was checkout time, I was asked by a different cashier if I had a mask to which I replied 'no'. He had a dismayed look and went and grabbed one from a box for me. I said, 'Did you ever read the back of that box? It states specifically on there that these do not protect you from coronavirus.' He just kinda shook his head and went back to his register.
As my guy is ringing me up, I state loudly, 'You know what I read the other day? I read that Pfizer made $35 Billion in the 3rd quarter alone. Isn't that crazy?!?' Now mind you, I've been to this cashier many times over the last couple years and barely exchanged more than a few words with him, so it definitely caught him by surprise. After he said a few words back and tried to defend them saying they make more than just a vaccine I said, 'Well did you, they paid the biggest fines in court? They've falsified data for their studies and were also fined for paying off doctors to use their product. Google it, it's something to consider'.
As I'm gathering my belongings and getting ready for checkout, a woman at a different cashier yells at me, 'Well you should wear your mask above your nose so you protect all of us'. I said, 'These masks don't protect you from coronavirus. The virus is 1 microscopic unit, and these masks only protect you from 3 units or bigger!' At this point, some other employee started yelling at me to leave and just walk to the door. As I'm leaving, I just start saying, 'Freedom of thought is ok, it's really ok!'
It felt liberating to finally break out and not just be another node perpetuating this evil system. I've worn things before as to not rock the boat, especially since my spouse is a firm believer in the opposite, but I've reached a point where I can no longer keep up this charade.
So to get to my point, I plan on not wearing a mask ever again. I anticipate in the future, I'll most likely be denied entrance there for not wearing a mask. My question is, do I have a legal case if I'm refused service there? Even though I don't have underlying health reasons for not wearing a mask, is there discriminatory grounds I can fight them on? I've had enough sitting idly by, so I'm planning on pushing the envelope and if I have to take a fight in court then I'll undertake it. Any advice?
TLDR: Refused to wear mask, got asked to put one on. Dropped some red pills, but think I'll be refused service in future if I don't wear mask, is there a legal case I can make against them?
Im in Canuckistan and the medical excemption thing became such an issue its now told over the intercom in stores to not bother people without masks because its against the law. If its like this in Canada you shouldnt have any issues in the US.
Over the intercom in what store?
The intercome of Real Canadian Superstore. I hate that they have to come in every 10 minutes to tell the population to be good, but its nice to hear the medical excemption thing.
Agreed. It's a good thing. More businesses need to openly acknowledge exemptions. Gives people courage to not mask and dampens the enthusiasm of covid Karens..
