Idiot Films Costco Employee Kicking Him Out For Not Wearing A Mask, People Are On The Employee’s Side
The Centers for Disease Control And Prevention recommends that people wear a face covering to slow the spread of the virus and protect others. That’s right, not wearing a mask puts the health of others at risk. But it seems the same rules don’t apply to everyone.
At least that’s what one shopper at Costco in Arvada, Colorado was thinking. The guy refused to wear a mask while shopping because, apparently, he “woke up in a free country.” But one Costco worker, Tison, wasn’t buying any of this BS and confronted him in a now viral video. The shopper was hoping to put Tison on his “3,000-follower Instagram feed,” but the clip soon turned against his plans. People on Twitter not only praised Tison for a good job, they also demanded to give him a raise.
Let’s take a look at this how-to for handling entitled shoppers who refuse to wear masks right down below and remember to stay safe, everyone!
This video of a Costco employee Tison dealing with a shopper who refused to wear a mask has gone viral
The shopper recorded this whole confrontation and here are the screenshots from it

Costco’s CEO announced in a statement about the mask policy on the company’s website: “We know some members may find [wearing face coverings] inconvenient or objectionable, but under the circumstances, we believe the added safety is worth any inconvenience. This is not simply a matter of personal choice; a face covering protects not just the wearer, but others too.”
The shopper soon uploaded another video where he explained his standpoint further

Meanwhile, experts have expressed their worry that the tension between customers and employees may get worse as stores across the country reopen and many have to adapt to a new set of shopping rules.
Larry Barton, a professor of crisis management and public safety at the University of Central Florida, told Business Insider that “In 30-plus years of studying retail and crisis situations, we have never seen a situation of customers being so rude to hourly employees.”
Larry has given a piece of advice for retailers to train employees on deescalating hostile persons these days.
Tison was over the moon from receiving so much support on Twitter

Unfortunately people don't realize that their freedom stops where other people's freedom begin.
Exactly! The problem with many (especially right-wing) people in the US is that they misunderstand the concept of freedom.
Right on! Some people think of freedom as freedom from responsibility. A little altruism can feel pretty darn good.
I've said it b4 and I'll say it again: every right u have is weighed against a responsibility to give others that right! Rights aren't stand alone they go hand in hand with responsibility or it doesn't work!
Not all Americans misunderstand the concept of freedom. I know some do, but that doesn’t mean we all do.
That's the problem with a generation that's never actually had to defend their freedom. They don't properly appreciate nor understand it.
They get the part that's for them, including their freedom to boss around other people.
Stop making this a political issue. I know tons of conservatives who work very hard at social distancing.
One such a right-winger announced: 'If He doesn't wear a mask, I won't wear it either; if He feels safe, I feel safe too.' I assume that this "smart" worshiper doesn't realize that people around him at the White House are tested for COVID19 daily, so it''s easy for him to feel safe and, of course, he doesn't give a damn about anybody else's safety.
They assume that their freedom includes the freedom to tell other people what to do.

I'm sorry but I'll have to say more left-wing people don't understand freedom. Not sure if you remember this, but those Democrats were the ones who wanted slavery and began it way back when. I guess they really didn't understand that those poor African-Americans deserved freedom to.

Freedom does not come with inherent obligations/responsibilities. Which is not the same as saying there are no consequences to exercising one's freedom.
Freedom is not "I get all the freedom and evreyone else gets out of the way".
The immigrants coming from the countries run by totalitarian, oppressive regimes understand a concept of freedom very well. Oh yea Country Nana, we are not making this a political issue, somebody else sure is. By the way, I'm independent. "The most dangerous person is the one who listens, thinks, and observes." Please everybody, be dangerous!
Sad thing is, we all know a guy like this. Relative, coworker, neighbor etc.....We avoid them at all cost, but poor folks working with the public have to deal with guys like this.
It’s not so much other’s freedom, as it is their health or infringing on other’s rights. You aren’t more of a badass or have more freedom by taking away from others. You’re just a jackass. Anyone can interpret the same stimuli in multiple and different ways. The selfish/ cruel/ ignorant are on a different level; they can warp anything to suit their needs.
So you are saying they are only free if you say so?

That is stupid. So yours ends at the same time then. Which freedom is more important which do you take away?
You don't know how a virus works, don't you? Its not about freedom. Its about multiplikation.
There are individual freedoms, and there is a collective freedom. "Stupid is knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believing the lies." - (I forgot who said this)
He's mistaken. It's nothing to do with his own views. If you wish to utilise the services of a company (any company) that company will have policies and that is part of the interaction between you. As in any other case, you are free to go elsewhere
He is mistaken about many, many things.
Well put
The mask is to protect others from you, in case you have the virus but not the symptoms. Good on the employee for serving the public good.
Unfortunately, we would need armor made of adamantite to protect and keep out the stupid.
@inga vivian The man he's referring to is a scientist who has worked with biological weapons. I'd bet my right pinkie that he knows a ton more about viruses than you or me.
Thank you. I've been trying to tell a number of people this. Even the CDC says this is to protect others. So, if you don't want to wear a mask, you don't want to protect others. How kind.
The science, according to the CDC, says that surgical masks won’t stop the wearer from inhaling small airborne particles, which can cause infection. Nor do these masks form a snug seal around the face. The CDC recommends surgical masks only for people who already show symptoms of coronavirus and must go outside, since wearing a mask can help prevent spreading the virus by protecting others nearby when you cough or sneeze. The agency also recommends these masks for caregivers of people infected with the virus.
Diane, people can be infected and not have symptoms - not knowing they have the virus, therefore ALL people must wear masks in public.

These dust masks cannot, I repeat, cannot block a virus!! It's impossible. Any idiot knows this ffs. The virus is tiny and goes right thru these dust masks. Gas mask is required that covers your nose, mouth and eyes. That is a proper mask for a virus. Too much fluoride in the water.

Show me the virus. It has never been isolated.
Wrong site for this. It has been isolated that is why it is known as a Coronavirus. The term corona has to do with the shape of the virus. You should try looking this up on your own. It is all over the internet.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
