Mask rule in grocery store 4/15/2020

I heard one shocking information through my husband’s coworker. It was his personal experience.

He went to the grocery store. While he was waiting in the long waiting line for the cashier, one grocery store worker yelled something toward the people waiting in line. At first he was not paying attention to the worker, so he could not her the worker clearly. The worker did the same again, then he noticed the worker was yelling straightforward at him. He looked around and noticed he was the only one who was not wearing a face mask.

The worker was yelling at him that anybody who is not wearing a facial mask is not allowed to purchase anything in the store.

Sadly he left the grocery store without any shopped items.

Before he left the store, he looked through the entrance door for any signs about a facial mask. It was none.

I never heard of the new rule of a mandatory face mask in the grocery store. In the different grocery stores, I have seen other customers without a face mask shopped without any issues. 

As many people have noticed, the biggest worry in this pandemic situation is the monster people who are eager to criticize or accuse somebody. In his case, the store worker could have explained him about the store’s new policy calmly and politely, instead of just yelling at him and kicking him out from the store.

I hope people will stay being civilized in this hectic situation.
