Despite all staff wearing masks and behind a plexiglass shield, and despite all patrons in the establishment not wearing masks while they ate and talked to us, I and a lady friend were denied service in Dunkin Doughnuts, and denied equal treatment.
My lady friend has a medical condition and cannot wear a mask due to restricted oxygen flow it causes and complications of increased CO2 Levels. She went to the counter, was told she could not be served without a mask and explained why she could not wear one. The Manager left, made a phone call, then told us essentially to go to the back of the bus, and that we could not be in the building but we were welcome to use the drive through.
Seems like an acceptable compromise.
Well, for those willing to compromise, and for someone more interested in getting a doughnut than creating a scene...
The Police did show up and we had a polite discussion with them. I explained the rational and unlawful actions of the manager, and the unconstitutionality of these mandates while she vented politely about the issue. They did not bother to even go in to talk to the manager.
It's actually not unconstitutional. The owner of a business has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his patrons. If he believes that masks do that, well, wear a mask. Again, you were offered a compromise...
This is discrimination based on one's creed and religion and their health.
I'm raisin' the "BULLSHIT" flag on this whole thing. You started out by saying she couldn't wear a mask because of health concerns. Now it's because of her creed and her religion?
Sorry, but no...
Pick a story and stick to it...
I plan on organizing sit ins at places like this. 10-20 people is all you need to go in to a restaurant, refuse to put on a mask and refuse to step out of line until you are served.
That's perfect.
So, they call the police, you get arrested and look like a fool, and you
still don't get any fuckin' doughnuts!
LOL!!!
Thanks for the "dipshit" post of the day!
