My mask story. My daughters and I were put on the "no fly" list for Alaska Airlines because I refused to mask IN THE AIRPORT (except to check in at Alaska desk and of course I was going to mask on the plane). Airport is different jurisdiction from Alaska. Alaska employee chased us down in the concourse and demanded we mask. When we refused, because he is not an authority in the airport, he canceled our flight without telling us, and they wouldn't tell us where our luggage was. We got in the car and drove THAT DAY to Phoenix. My husband won't mask ever and had cops called on him (and he's called the cops) just to check out groceries. He couldn't go to work either. I could go on...I've been screamed at numerous times, cursed loudly (by men), physically threatened (by men), and have been refused service far too many times to count. We ordered groceries too, but we didn't lock down, so we went on road trips, etc. and had many interactions. We are quiet, law abiding people who hate confrontation. The "land of the free and the home of the brave" is as dead as the Constitution is.
Ugh I’m sorry you had to go through all that 😞 I was denied entry to several stores and given dirty looks but never physically threatened or screamed at. This is why I think the health departments need to have power taken away and also businesses who want to institute these rules should be prevented from doing it.
I agree that what happened was disheartening, but on the other hand, I think a lot of people also have had their eyes opened since. So I am not quite as pessimistic.
I really don’t understand the buying online as a “protest” though, to be honest. You are still rewarding the store with your business and still playing their game by their rules. It doesn’t hurt them at all. It’s as if black people during the civil rights movement had said, well, if they refuse to serve me inside that restaurant, I will just sit outside. How would that have any effect? Why would they even care? Allowing them to exclude you from in person shopping based on a medical choice is accepting a violation of your rights imo.
We didn't accept it but some days you're just too tired to fight. Some days I'd rather starve than go through that again. But we do have kids who need to eat.
Oh yes I totally get that. It does wear you down and some days it’s certainly tougher than others 😞 I got so tired of fighting with stores, schools, legislators, everyone, sometimes… But you still did so much more than most people!
