My family and I were told we had to wear a mask or leave in an Austin Dollar Tree moments ago. Despite appeals to the cashier telling her how the CDC says I no longer have to wear one, I was told I couldn't shop without one. So, we turned around and left.

First time that has happened.


Ah, who am I kidding? Dollar Tree was never on my shopping list anyway. It was for my wife. Admittedly, I was happy to oblige.

Tell them you have a health issue and you can't wear one. Thanks to HIPAA Laws, you don't have to indulge what it is and when they refuse you service, sue them for violation of the American With Disabilities Act. These clowns need to be held accountable for what they're doing.

Costco and the crappy mom & pop gas station down the street have made that list in my household.

This is your problem, our local dollar tree has a mask required sign up but I can walk around in it all day without a mask and the staff wear a mask,..... around their neck!
NO AMNESTY!

in order for democrats, liberals, progressives et al to continue their illogical belief systems they have to pretend not to know a lot of things; by pretending "not to know" there is no guilt, no actual connection to conscience. Denial of truth allows easier trespass.

We were traveling through Austin and stopped at a Chinese fast food restaurant. Mask signs everywhere everyone in the place was masked up. My son and I walked in without masks and no one said a word. A big old boy and his wife came in later with no masks. We both gave each other the freedom nod.

I rarely see anyone in our small town wear masks anymore. Going through Austin it's almost like nothing had changed.

HIPAA does not apply to private companies asking for your information. They can ask. It's on you whether or not you want to tell them. HIPAA prevents health care workers from disclosing your information.

Proof positive Biden's no mask edict is smoke and mirrors. I predicted that in a post earlier today.

They probably don't know that. Might as well throw it out

Almost every national chain is still going to "require" them

How many times is this lie going to be repeated? They don't have to allow you in mask free even if you actually had a disability that prevented you from wearing a mask

My wife and I pulled our membership at Costco several months ago.

One of my arms doesn't work so great anymore so, my wife heaved a big sack of dog food underneath the cart. She pulled her mask down briefly to catch her breath. As we were both chuckling about wrangling dog food into the bottom of the basket, some young, Costco dipstick pushing a broom cart came over and told my wife to pull her mask up. My laughter turned sour real fast and I told him to f--- right off...and he went on his way.

Then the store manager caught up with us a few aisles later and asked if there were problems with the mask rules of the store. I told him what happened and he apologized for the rude employee...then politely asked my wife to keep her mask on...which she already was. Of course, I used the medical exemption to get out of wearing one. I'm not playing the face diaper game.

At any rate, I hit the service desk on the way out, and told the young lady that I wanted to terminate membership. She asked, "Why?" I told her that I support capitalism, not corporatism. She called her boss over, a different manager, and told him what I said. He said, "Give this man a full refund." He pulled his mask down and gave me a thumbs up.

We have a new HEB in Lubbock and do all of our shopping there now. They haven't said one thing about masks. So, to hell with Costco and f--- BS corporatism.

Let them sacrifice revenues over idiotic paranoid policy...

It's Austin. They are virtue signaling to their neurotic peers.

Freedom nods, with a smirk are the best, as well as smirking at masked up college kids here in College Station.

Well, I really showed them. I walked out and spent my one dollar somewhere else.

We have a Dollar Tree/Family Dollar combo expected to open next month. I live in a rural community, so we're pretty excited about a business coming in. If they require masks to shop, they won't last 2 months here

Had a similar experience at Sam's Club today. I won't go into the details so let's leave it at this. I didn't wear a mask, and I went in and got what I needed.

It seems Austin is doubling down on masks as they see their tyrannical, oppressive, unscientific attitudes being challenged. It's like the fall of an empire as they burn down every city in retreat.

We used to go there to buy cheap crap for wife's prize box at school- until she was treated poorly- because she was only white person shopping or working there.

The basics are that if you can't wear a mask for legit health reasons, the business has to make reasonable accommodations. That can include order by phone, curbside delivery, online ordering etc. Just about every place with a mask policy already offers those services.

So what he stated was not a lie then. He said "if they refuse you service". If you tell them you have a medical condition that precludes you from wearing a mask, if they simply refuse service, they are in violation of the act. Also, what is reasonable accommodation is open to interpretation. To me, having to pay more for delivery would be discriminatory against those with a handicap.

Costco and shocker Trader Joe's announced no masks required if you are vaccinated, but they aren't asking for proof. For patrons and employees.
Staff - take out the trash.

Not the cashiers fault, but I hope they relay the message to the decision makers.

Walked into the Kyle HEB and Kyle Lowes with no mask. Employees said good morning. No problems.

Curbside delivery is free. The point still stands they can deny you entry into a store if you refuse to wear a mask and not be in violation. Saying you have a disability that prevents you from wearing a mask isn't some magic pass that means they have to let you in mask free.

Hey there Walton, speaking of covid, did you happen to catch this article? Pretty much destroys everything you "understand" and know about the origin of virus:

https://nicholaswade.medium.com/origin-of-covid-following-the-clues-6f03564c038

It's in another thread. I'll bump that thread if you'd like and the board can get your thoughts on it. Not trying the hijack, I just never saw you post on that other thread.

Correct...they can also tell you to GTFO either way. They have to make choices. So can you.

I was just in Costco in Austin without a mask, and saw maybe 20 other people in the store without masks too. I did not get any crap from any of the employees. Just dirty looks from some of the other shoppers.
