Gentleman has huge fit when denied at Trader Joe's for mask rules, muscles his way inside anyway

Why buy expensive tasers when simple pepper spray will get the job done just as well? Hell, maybe the experience of being pepper sprayed will even get people to wear masks and face shields.

But will they open up the sample corner to make sure everyone tries the new product?

They may have issues, but in my area they’ve been the best of any of the grocery stores in terms of enforcing mask use and low occupancy inside the stores.

Yes, and yes again, they completely wipe down the carts, have social distancing, reduced numbers in store, let handicapped & seniors in earlier. It’s a Euro owned company, they mostly have their shit together in this shit show.

Crowbars.

Really, how astonishing is it that no retail worker hasn’t gone viral denting some howling anti-masker’s cranium with a sizeable glass bottle? Retail workers have the patience of saints.

FWIW, an inability to wear a mask might include a condition like severe anxiety or a phobia or Autism causing the same.

I don’t know of any medical condition that forces anyone to only speak and act like an entitled douche, spout constitutional freedoms they don’t actually understand and drag their kids into their sphere of douchery. Your idea of basically treating them like lepers actually sounds a little severe but it’s probably good advice for dealing with these assholes in any situation. :smiley:

Pepper spray tends to waft in ways that tasers don’t.

the only disability here is the one his behavior is instilling in his kids.

All the more reason for social distancing. It’s a win-win-win!

Leper has a vaccine and has a cure, if taken early . No safe cure exist for douchebaggey: some cases were cured with repeated use of LART until they get a clue, but results are inconclusive,.

Children are more perceptive than most adults give them credit for. Having this asshole for a dad could very well traumatize them. Sadly, while he’s a grown male, he’s no adult.

This is why all dogma is evil, as by definition it’s core teaching is that faith (belief without evidence) is supreme. This opens peoples minds to being absolutely convinced by any reality that takes their fancy…

TJ’s mask policy is the same as the “no shoes no service” policy. There isn’t a law requiring requiring shoes and shirts for service, it’s a rule imposed onto customers by private businesses. Walk into any gas station barefoot and they will refuse you service, walk into TJ mask less and they also will refuse you service.

Wearing a mask protects others more than yourself. My kids enthusiastically wear masks because they know they are fortunate to be healthy. They want to protect the elderly and those who are high risk. Compassion and empathy is a much better lesson than going KAREN on a TJ employee for doing her job!
You are everything wrong with this country and I pity your children.

With a chain like Trader Joe’s, the person that he’s abusing, even if a manager, is still a wage slave who’s going to hesitate involving corporate in a legal kooksuit by the guy.

If he ever tries it in a place where the owner is the person blocking him from entry, the results could be quite different, but that’s probably why these videos of infantile individuals raging against the system always involve chains.

I just want to point out that it’s been recently decided that the male equivalent of a “Karen” is called a “Tucker”, in honor of the universally and constantly whiny and totally entitled Fox “personality” and Frozen Fish Sticks Heir, Tucker Carlson.

It wasn’t my comment, but I’ve also been guilty of thinking, if you really can’t wear a mask, I wonder if it’s safe to be in this indoor public space without one right now, so I’m sorry it came across that way to you. Not at all where my head was.
My frustration at these mask holes comes from them co-opting actual disability rights, like you mention, but also the utter unreasonableness. In every situation I’ve seen, the store or public building offers curbside pickup or other service (like our county building does with payments, etc.) which would arguably be safer for everyone. The way they force themselves into other people’s space to arrogantly flout health and safety guidance feels like an invasion. The fact that there are often no repercussions, like in this video, makes it feel like an assault on all the workers in that store.

As a Texan, you think he would value Trader Joe’s rights as a private business to not have him trespass.

You know that only works when those rights are being denied to other people. Ones he doesn’t like.
