Manager: (Her anger increased by the second.) "It's not completely over your nose, and you don't have it behind your ears!
I wanted to laugh, but I knew that wasn't going to help the situation. Evidently, in this woman's mind, the all-important mandatory masks can't stop COVID unless they are latched behind the ears.
Me: (I re-positioned the mask completely over my nose and mouth before responding.) "I'm ready to be checked out please," I said for the second or third time. What was it going to take to give this company my money so I could leave?" - Karen Hardin
Yeah no. You are comparing apples and oranges. The baker refused to serve an individual based upon an extremely poor understanding of scripture whereas the store in this matter had a policy that applied to everyone. If the store's policy said only Christians must wear masks then you would have a decent comparison. Then this Christian leader threatens the store with videoing the faux incident that she antagonized! She did not take out her mask as requested. If she did, she would have been wearing it. The mocking of the employees continues to reveal how unchristian Hardin's behavior is. Why would anyone want to hear what she has to say about Christ? As for the idiotic question about what it will take for them to check her out? Wear a mask!
"The manager was seething by this point, but seriously, what was her issue now? My mouth and nose were covered. I had followed their rules and was masked. Weren't we all now "protected"?
Manager: "You are causing a scene! You need to leave now!"
Okay, well I wasn't the one causing the scene, but I didn't say that to her either. Her rage was getting to stroke level.
Me: "As soon as you check me out, I will be happy to go," I told her.
