Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Is that the first time you've been confronted? Were you able to make an arrangement with the manager in order to go in and out the same door in the future?
It was the first time being confronted at Costco. After explaining my situation to the manager, I was allowed to proceed further into the store. In the future there's a very good chance that I will be confronted again and have to explain my situation to a different manager.
There was a time I was confronted at Walmart, but at Walmart I was attempting to enter the store through the exit with a shopping cart. After enduring some very angry words from an employee; and after the employee took the cart out of my hands in a very hostile manner, I proceeded to enter the store through the exit like I always do. Ever since that incident at Walmart, I no longer try to enter through the exit with a shopping cart.
I would think a doctor could help you by giving you some type of medical exemption letter. It's illegal not to accommodate Americans with Disabilities. (The ADA law saw to that.) Better yet, if someone could work with you on overcoming your issue, then you'd have a lot more freedom. Or, if you could stick to a more traditional grocery store where you can easily go in and out the same door, that would be good too.
Perhaps if you can get a medical exemption letter from a doctor and present that to the manager at Costco, they can make some sort of badge or something for you to show that gets you in and out smoothly. I've never heard of your particular issue, but I know people have all kinds of issues, so I believe it's quite possible that this is yours. I'm going to say a prayer for you that God releases you of this compulsion. And thank you for your service. Take care.
Thank you so much for sticking up for me in this comment section. I appreciate your efforts very much an I am extremely grateful.
