Furious Shoppers Boot Out Woman Buying Groceries Without A Face Mask

A group of customers in a grocery store went ballistic as a woman shopped without a face mask, yelling at her until she walked off with her cart full of groceries.

The heated confrontation was captured on a video posted Saturday to Facebook on Saturday and quickly went viral on Twitter. “What happens in Staten Island when you don’t wear a mask in ShopRite!” noted the poster, who said it had been filmed by a friend who sent it to her.

It was a surprising scene given all the media attention recently to maskless demonstrators protesting against health and safety measures to help stop the spread of COVID-19. The people yelling at the shopper were over-the-top angry, and several shouted obscenities and insults.

Comments on social media ranged from attacks on the yelling “savages” to “finally” people are standing up for safety.
