I want to share my experience with an anti masker

Now I've had my encounters before due to working in the public. Like people giving me looks and all that nonsense. Whatever that's not the point of this tale. So here it begins.

Its Friday night and I ordered IHOP because i wanted pancakes and crepes. So I ordered online and go to pick it up. It was pouring rain and I had left my phone in my truck since I thought I was going to be in and out pretty fast.

I had my mask on and they were still making my order so I waited for a bit. Then this couple comes in no masks or anything. The guy is dressed in biker gear and all that jazz. He is a biker because the server asked him like if he rode over on his bike and he said no.

Now this is where it gets interesting. They are obligated to ask by their store policy if they have masks. He said no and that he was medically exempt and she can't ask him due to it infringing on his rights. So she said its store policy and she can't seat them. He starts going off and then I butted in and said to him that if it's their policy then they can refuse to serve you. Follow the rules. So he tells me to mind my own fucking business and I tell him that it is my fucking business because I'm in this vicinity and I'm also an essential worker and I'm not going to let him treat these people like shit. And if he can ride a motorcycle, he can goddamn well wear a mask.

Now he gets red. He turns to me and begins to advance towards me and I'm equal size to this idiot biker so I stare his ass down. Like you're not gonna intimidate me bud. We just stared at each other a few seconds and then he finally turned around and left with his girlfriend. I really wish I had my phone because I would have been plastering his dumbass all over social media.

The wait staff and servers thanked me and handed me my food. I just said we gotta look out for each other against these tools. With that I went home and enjoyed my pancakes.

I can guarantee you he was probably one of those bikers for Trump people. Trying to look intimidating but secretly a fucking bitch deep down. I despise these people.

Anyway. Not as bad as my mothers experience Thursday coming home from work. That's a story I could share if people are interested.

and we have a waffle maker ... mmmm, yummy!

Good story. Medically exempt, eh? Maybe he ought to be in a convalescent home. Perhaps they won't infringe on his right to be a shithead.

Off to find your next thread.

verbatim... except we both checked out.

I saw him in the ailes and I said "Put a mask on" he told me to "mind my own business...."
"
"well it is my business since you are compromising my health, your health and everybody that works here s health"

He told me to say it to his face, so I came around the ailes and Said "Please wear a mask... PLEASE"

typical "what are you going to do about it, and then he invaded my space.

I said "wear a mask" and titled my head and then I stepped back. In case he wanted to slug me.

There is more to this but they are cowards, deep down.

At the check out line:

I was like "look at mister special. "all these people are wearing masks except for you" and then a guy that worked there walks in sans mask and I said "and this guy"

He says, " I guess we are the dumb ones"

Pretty much....

I weigh as much as his belly did.

It is our business when they act like assholes.

Confront them politely... but with some force, they are cowards.

All businesses need to post signs explaining that masks are mandatory, and then define the word mandatory and then say, no mask, no service. If you for any reason cannot wear a mask then you can have what you want delivered to you at curbside.

People are so full of shit about claiming they have some kind of medical condition. I've noticed all the videos those people are generally screaming that quite loudly.

just need to order over the phone or online and pick up their purchases. And who gives a shit what their medical condition is (not).
Good job confronting this guy. So many of these bullies are brave and loud with the young people who are just doing their job.

I'm 30 and these people were younger. But this guy was older for sure probably late 30s early 40s. I'm like honey I'll whoop your ass in the IHOP parking lot if it comes down to it
