WATCH: Woman storms off Walmart parking lot after employees laugh at her tantrum over face masks

From Raw Story a couple of minutes ago:


https://www.rawstory.com/2020/07/watch-woman-storms-off-walmart-parking-lot-after-employees-laugh-at-her-tantrum-over-face-masks/


A woman in Florida was caught on camera throwing a tantrum over having to wear a face mask in her local Walmart.

Local news station WESH reports that the woman tried to enter the Walmart in Winter Springs, Florida over the weekend without wearing any kind of face covering.

When she refused to wear a mask after being asked by employees to do so, she began yelling at them.

“You guys are a f*cking cult!” she shouted. “Never! I’m not wearing a mask! F*ck you!”

Good to see they enforce that rule (there are large signs about the mask policy, so she has no excuse).

It stands to reason that they simply cannot stand being marginalized, trivialized, dismissed, and laughed at -- so I do precisely those things every chance i get.

It was actually way before we were told we should wear masks. The whole "the general public doesn't need to wear masks" thing just didn't make sense to me.

So there I was, stocking up before everyone realized that we needed to stock up, and these two guys in maybe their late teens walked by, and one of them looked at me and laughed. It was incredibly rude, but I just kept doing what I went there to do.

So, yeah, it's our turn to laugh at them.

A young woman was holding a placard showing a mask with a big X across it and the words, “My body, my choice.” The words “Trump 2020” were displayed across the bottom. I had to laugh since the words my body, my choice are often used by abortion supporters, and I am assuming she would not be one. These people are just lemmings following their obtuse leader over the edge.

Charge your devices and capture the fun. Next week, Walmart will begin demanding face masks to shop. At the same time, back to school sells will be frantically going on. The action will be packed. Be careful though, maskless trump bumpers will be packing. We need an amateur video awards show for the best footage. Give the winner an hour slot on MSNBC (Thuck Chodds slot) for daily showings. America’s Got Vidiots! Ratings the likes trump has never seen in history.

We have friends in retail who have to put up with people like this. I also love the philosophy of just laughing at them. I've seen similar comments in my part of Florida and I'm going to guess each state has a few of these crazies.

is rejected by these people. Their grandparents would be so ashamed. Their parents should be ashamed, but they're the ones who brought them up to be the selfish assholes they are.

These people are the reason we, as a country, can't do the great things we used to do.

I'm still a little in shock, in a good way, the way they have been doing things since the beginning of the shutdown here in Arizona. Masks, one way isles, sanitizing carts, only allowing the next person in after the one before has vacated the indoor shopping cart area, etc. They have been far better than any of the grocery stores or Home Depot, Lowe's, etc in the area.
