Trader Joe's - Fascist behavior of employees

4.9.21 about 1:30 pm (Friday) in the Kildaire Farm Rd, Cary, NC Trader Joes

Today my wife and I were trying to grocery shop in the Cary, NC Trader Joes. When we entered the store I was told to raise my mask (we were both wearing masks — we are older and retired and have shopped at this store for years). I told the clerk that I had a medical exemption as I had asthma and could not breath with it covering my nose so I wore it slightly below my nose.

He rang a loud bell and within a couple of minutes we were surrounded by the store manager and several other clerks demanding that I raise my mask higher on my face or leave the store and never come back despite me reiterating that I had asthma and can not breathe with the mask over my entire face. Unbelievable!

At this point I said we would just pay for our items and leave but he took the cart away from me and told me to leave and never come back. I guess this is how Trader Joe personnel intimidates their customers. This company deserves to go bankrupt if it is going to treat its customers in this FASCIST manner.

At that point I was angry and told him to go f _ _ k himself and we would never shop at Trader Joes again now that we know it acts like a FASCIST company.

What has happened to the United States that we find ourselves surrounded by so many sheep le and useful idio ts who know nothing about our Constitutional heritage and God given liberties?

Desired outcome: stoppage of this FASCIST behavior and written apology

This is outrageous! I have shopped at Trader Joe’s in 3 states, in many different cities and I lived in Pasadena CA not far from Monrovia for over 10 years. I first shopped at Trader Joe’s in North Hollywood in 1989. This store manager sounds like a loose cannon and is definitely not representative of the very professional staff that is very prevalent in their stores!

Please refrain from calling people "sheeple" and "useful idiots" who are trying to protect the rest of us TJ customers from folks like you who have no apparent regard for risking the health of the rest of us. Educate yourself about the the Constitution -- it doesn't give you a right to spread Covid to others, period. And it certainly allows a private business like TJs to enforce its own policies that protect the health of its employees and customers. If you can't or won't wear a mask going into a store, then have your wife go alone, or figure out another way to get your groceries. There a plenty of options, it's not that hard...

You are ignorant of what is right before you eyes. How about reading the US Bill of Rights and Constitution and doing some research on this SCAMdemic. And while you are at it understand the definition of assault which those store employees engaged in.

You don't have a right to potentially infect others with a deadly disease. Please seek another way to get your groceries, or let your wife go alone to get them. Your life and liberty rights aren't under assault because TJs won't let you in if you can't protect other customers from potential spread of Covid. Get over your selfish self.
