The other day I stopped for gas and wanted to run in and grab a drink while I was there. Now normally and I mean like 99.9% of the time getting gas I will just pay at the pump and not interact with anyone or go inside for any other reason. This was a rare exception.

So I say fuck wearing a mask, I'm just going to go grab my drink bring it to the register and pay for it plus some gas. Now there are two registers and apparently it was kind of busy with several people inside all in one line, splitting the line left or right as each register became available.

I'm waiting in the line with my drink, EVERYONE else in the place wearing a mask except for me. Some people are kind of looking at me but not saying anything. I should add that I'm a pretty big, tall and intimidating looking guy which usually prevents anyone from saying stupid shit to me in general I've found.

So there's a couple of people ahead of me and this one guy a bit older than me, but of similar size/stature as me, then a guy behind him. The right register becomes available and the older guy lets the guy behind him go to that one as he seems to be waiting to go to the left one for whatever reason.

The guy that went to the right register gets done pretty quickly and this is where the fun begins. The guy at the register acknowledges me and the guy ahead of me sort of gestures to go ahead and go ahead of him like the previous guy did, so I go to do that.

At this point, the cashier guy points to his mask and says (in muffled mask voice) "sir you have to wear a mask". So, I say "No, I don't, my doctor told me not to" as I approach the counter and put the drink up and pull out my wallet. The guy looks at me like I'm crazy and repeats himself. I say again, "No my doctor told me not to, I have an exemption".

So then, this gas station cashier attendant mind you, puts his fucking hand out and asks to see documentation for my "exemption". I laugh way out loud at him and say "You're kidding right? Who the hell are you? I don't have to show you shit. I'm telling you I have a medical exemption and you can't demand to see proof of it or challenge me about it. You're violating at least one federal law right now"

So back to the guy in the line that let me go ahead of him, who is now behind me and off to the left of me. I should note that he's wearing a dirty ass old bandana as his "mask". He shouts at the top of his lungs "YOUR RIGHTS!?!? YOU'RE VIOLATING MY RIGHTS BY NOT WEARING A MASK!!!"

I laugh at him but ignore him and continue my argument with the cashier. I tell him "Look, I just want to pay you for this drink and some gas, I don't have to prove anything to you and I'm not wearing a mask". So he says "Well then I can't serve you if you refuse to wear a mask"

I laugh at him again and say "Listen, now you're violating at least TWO federal laws, HIPAA and the ADA, are you going to go for three? It is against federal law to demand to show you what my medical records contain and to further deny me service based on the medical condition I'm telling you about"

So this guy in the line behind me is at it again and shouts "BULLSHIT! YOU HAVE TO WEAR A MASK OR GET OUT!!!" This time I turn around and tell him "Listen, A. you need to back the fuck up and B. you need to mind your own fucking business" but he continues, "GET OUT OF HERE IF YOU WON'T WEAR A MASK!!".

I say to him "And exactly what the fuck are you going to do about it?" He replies, "Nothing" I say "Exactly. You know why? Because you're a big fucking PUSSY"

I fully expected him to take a swing at me at that point, but he backed down and shut the fuck up.

So back to the cashier, he says "Just go ahead and take it, I won't charge you for it, but you have to go pay for your gas outside" I said "No, I WANT to pay for it like normal, right here" but he still refuses so I relent.

On the way out to go pump my gas and drink my delicious free bottle of sweet tea, I tell the nosy mask Karen guy "You need to learn to mind your own fucking business if you can't back up your fat stupid mouth" and leave.

God, I wanted to tell everyone in there, you're ALL a bunch of cucks and pussies and need to grow a fucking pair. I should inspire you all to rip your masks off and say, yeah, fuck this shit. I can't take it anymore with these fucking NPCs.
