I went into a large company a few weeks ago. Have a client there. The Karen at the front desk demands to see my vaccine card. I tell her I don’t have it with me because I’m never asked for it. She says she can’t let me in because of “policy.” I told her I was never informed of the policy. Call my client and he meets me in the lobby, he’s furious. Tells her to let me in. She asks me to wear a mask. I say I will if she has one. Ope! She doesn’t! My client tells me to follow him. We have our meeting, most of which was laughing about the audacity of that woman.
I’m not done. After my meeting, I call the state attorney’s office and my state legislator who both sent letters to the company threatening legal action if that continues. Went back in today and was greeted with a pleasant smile and hello by the same Karen.
Fight back.
That’s awesome! 👏
I didn’t change any policies but a few weeks ago I had a doctors appointment and walked up to the door to find a notice that you had to wear a mask again to go inside, they had stopped the masks there awhile ago as we don’t have any mandates here. So walked in maskless and a few more signs greeted me about wearing a mask, I ignored them and went to the kiosk and checked in. The office was pretty full, everyone wearing masks. I checked in and sat to wait to be called. Noticed a lot of people were watching me, but no one said a word to me. When nurse called me back, she didn’t even acknowledge that I wasn’t wearing a mask, neither did the doc. Though the doc knows how I feel about them. This was at my neurologist office not my family doctor. Don’t know how it would go at my family doctors office, they have a security guard at the entrance, but if I did have to go in, I’d do the same thing, if they don’t let me in, I will leave and find another doctor.
Unfortunately, my family doctor who is owned by some conglomerate would not let me pass the check-in w/o mask and it covering nose and mouth. "It's policy." I hate that fucking answer. It's been almost a year and I haven't been back. I'm done playing with this nonsense.
Yeah, thankfully I haven't had to see our reg doctor in probably a year myself. I may have to soon if I want to get refills on my medicines soon, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it. My husband doesn't want all the drama of arguing about the masks so he will put one on only long enough to see the doc and then takes it off. I refused to wear one to see a specialist that is not easy to find around my area, but eventually found one that didn't require me wearing a mask. Now I just found out that he is retiring Friday and I have to find a new specialist for my Meniere's.
