I was verbally harassed and threatened by one customer, who said they would "take care of me". The faggot had blue hair, a homeless-looking beard, and a fucking cartilage ear piercing lol. A manager got very aggressive with me and actually tried to prevent me from leaving (false imprisonment) and actively followed me around the store. Asthma isn't even a reason any more, she tried to force a face shield on me. Claimed they were private property (they aren't read the Civil Rights Act Title II). This manager then ordered an employee not to assist me with an ID check.
The cops were threatened to be called, which is when I decided to leave since I live in Columbus and the cops are completely cucked and would probably actually book me, which, even if I won the case, would certainly cost me my job that I just got because the company is high on COVID power.
Finally, another manager told me they didn't want my money. Wish fucking granted!
God damnit pedes, I'm just so tired...I want to be left the fuck alone. This mask bullshit has honestly caused more division, arguments, and ultimately driven people apart with sheer hatred more than anything I've ever seen. I'm exhausted. I'm stressed beyond imagining and drinking a ton. I don't know how much longer this can last.
They were going to call the cops. I would have lost my job, I had to bail out. I just got the fucking job and my finances are on the ropes thanks to all this shit already.
Ik I meant keep pushing as go elsewhere and keep your head up.
I went to this little food mart down the street afterwards. The tiny latina girl inside wasn't wearing a mask when I walked in but put one on to check me out...she never said a word about me not having one though, we had a great almost flirtatious conversation even. It was so fucking refreshing to just be able to talk to someone in public without a freakout happening. The store is small and doesn't have a ton but I am going to get everything there that I can for now.
Blessings in disguise, man.
These are the places that get my business. A lot of changes had to be made, and I go out of my way and even pay extra to avoid the corporates chains entirely.
