Mask Encounters |

For my birthday, in February 2021, I got a $100 gift card to |
|
Cheese Importers in Longmont. The moment I stepped inside, an |
|
employee demanded that I put on a mask. I told her I was exempt. |
|
She said I had to wear it anyway. I told her "no, I don't. |
|
That's the definition of exempt." She said she would get a |
|
manager. I went further into the store to wait, without a mask. |
|
A few minutes later, a gentleman showed up with a surgical mask |
|
in hand. He politely asked me to put it on. I declined and told |
|
him that I am exempt. He said it didn't matter, that their |
|
policy is "no mask, no service." I got my phone out and started |
|
filming, told him that as long as he has a business license with |
|
the state of Colorado, he is not allowed to turn anyone down due |
|
to a medical condition. He quoted, "no shirt, no shoes, no mask, |
|
no service" that its an article of clothing, not a medical |
|
condition. I asked to see the written policy and the science |
|
behind it. He said he didn't have it, was just doing his job, |
|
that this is what the owner dictates. I then demanded the cash |
|
from my gift card, told him I'd spend it somewhere else. He said |
|
he could only refund it to the person who purchased once they |
|
presented a receipt and he was sure it was purchased online. I |
|
made him wait while I contacted the purchaser, who took a few |
|
minutes to respond to me. She confirmed that she'd purchased it |
|
in person with cash in the store, and once she found the |
|
receipt, she took a picture and sent it to my phone. I showed it |
|
to him and he finally relented, processed a refund and handed me |
|
the cash. This entire time, nearly an hour, I was in the store |
|
without a mask. Later, when I went to submit a compilation to |
|
the DOJ, I noticed that my phone had NOT recorded the event as I |
|
had expected. I have not done anything about it since then. My |
|
heart is broken because I have loved shopping here since they |
|
opened. My daughter even worked here years ago! Such a shame. |
|
Such a disappointment. |
