I have COPD and I run into this a lot. It is illegal for anyone to demand proof of you disability. If they refuse service they are practicing discrimination and you can sue the company (including the government) for that. Do not let them push you around. One lawsuit that wins is a win for everybody.
Jackson’s Gas Stations in the PNW don’t care if you have COPD.
As per an email sent to me by their regional manager...
We were deemed incompliant by OSHA when we did allow customers that informed us of their inability to wear a mask therefore we are following the guidance that the State, OHA and OSHA have established. Which means regrettably; we cannot have any shoppers in the store area without any face covering. We try our best to help accommodate by shopping for you if you cannot be in the store area without a covering. We are doing our best to keep our employees, customers and community as a whole as safe as possible. We realize this can be a frustration. I am sure you can imagine we have received many complaints on each side of the fence. We have chosen what we felt was the precautionary stance which takes extra measures to possibly protect all individuals in this dire state of affairs.
We appreciate your patronage and I hope that one of our stores can continue to serve you, your workplace and your family.
