A man in Texas filmed himself berating staff at a Trader Joe's grocery store after being denied entry for refusing to wear a mask. The video is now going viral on social media, where he is being derided as a male "Karen."

They have a "right" jerk to refuse to allow or NOT allow anyone in there store and then you bring your kid along............can I fucking just come into your home without permission, I don't think so, there are rules that a company puts in place to protect everyone and you and your family..........

1. Snowflake

Crybaby

[turbinetree]

2. I was thinking along the lines of twisted.........with a big T

[Shermann]

3. He's a "Qaren" nt

[jmbar2]

33. AKA a "Darren"

[soldierant]

44. "Kieran"

[BannonsLiver]

4. Nothing a good right hook couldn't fix

[2naSalit]

13. +1

Or even an Emma Peale type open handed slap.

[Blue_true]

48. That was my thought also.

I wear a mask. If one of them jump in my face about that and attempt to touch my mask, that is it, I won’t take such BS.

[Ohiogal]

5. What a crybaby!

[unblock]

6. no practical difference between him and a bio-terrorist who thinks god wants him to spread covid

these people need to be treated like the terrorists they are.

there's no right, constitutional or otherwise, to spread disease.

[marble falls]

7. "We reserve the right to deny service to anyone."

[Doremus]

42. No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service. nt

[PA Democrat]

8. First, the ADA does not give you the right to walk into a private business without a mask.

Even IF he truly has a disability that prevents him from wearing a mask, as long as the store makes a reasonable accommodation (like curbside pickup) he has no case.

Second, what a horrible example he is setting for his children. ME! ME! ME! He sounded like a lunatic.

[Stallion]

20. Reasonable Accommodation Under ADA Would Be Curb Side Shopping

[Sucha NastyWoman]

23. I'm sure he acts this authoritarian with his kids

So they know he might be the problem.

[catrose]

9. If he's got the lung power for that rant, I'm not worried about his "disability."

I haven’t been to a Trader Joe’s in a year, not wanting to go into a people-dense area. With guys like this, I’ll wait a while longer. Sob.

[leftieNanner]

18. Our Trader Joe's

Limits the number of people allowed in the store at any one time. Sometimes you have to wait outside (6 ft apart, of course) and they let you go in when someone else comes out.

[kimbutgar]

10. He should be banned from Trader Joe's permanently

And why didn’t they just tell him to go to another store?

What a terrible role model for his children. I even heard his kid say they’d it want us here. I feel so sorry for those children having a father like him.

[magicarpet]

11. Oh just shud up,...

Go spread your Covid Cooties someplace else. Dude needs a bleach enema.

[Leith]

12. He's a loudmouth bully

And a show-off. Nobody "accidentally" starts speaking another language. Is there anyone here who knows French well enough to be able to say how good he is? I suspect that he is about a second-year level in skill.

[SharonClark]

14. That's been Trader Joe's policy for almost a year

and yet he is unaware of it? Idiot.

[lpbk2713]

26. So he's not a regular customer.

And if he takes his business elsewhere they won't miss him.

[Luciferous]

15. Wow, what a moron. I would be so embarrassed if I was his kid.

[Mersky]

16. Don't give the selfish prick the attention he seeks

It’s gonna be more awful in Texas for a while.

[SharonClark]

17. He said they were going to Whole Foods.

I wonder what happened there since they, too, still require masks.

[dhol82]

28. Yup, the Whole Foods in NYC has security at the door.

But then, we are saner here.

[Evolve Dammit]

19. Stop yelling and breathing on me, you entitled ahole. Cuff and stuff. nt

[dutch777]

21. Find out who he works for, out them with bad PR, get him fired. Poor kid gets pulled into it

[MiniMe]

22. Why are they checking him out?

The guy is a total jerk. Hope he gets Covid, but not his kids.

[turbinetree]

24. He would have gone right to top if they did that

his head would have really exploded...............I and you and everyone else are entitled to safety, hell, I bet when he got on plane he didn't know that when I was working on it, and it went down, and if I was found to be at fault, then I could go to jail, and his family then could sue for negligence, bet one dollar that they would, but for him to go in there and do what he did as a employee I would sue him seriously. The company is trying to protect me and my family when I go home and other people going into the store........... enough is enough............deny him service...........

[Blue_true]

49. To get rid of him. If they didn't check him out, he would likely

have stayed in the store screaming.

[lpbk2713]

25. "No Shirt, No Shoes, No Brain, No Service"

Get over it.

[dhol82]

27. Pity they didn't call the police on him.

Hope they took down his license number so corporate could ban him from their stores.

[PatrickforB]

29. The child SHOULD be wearing a mask.

[PatrickforB]

30. Oh...he's a Christian...

Sigh.

[Warpy]

31. "This doesn't happen to me anywhere else in Texas"

Well, then, go anywhere else in Texas, it's a big state.

They just don't get that it's private property and that they're protecting staff and shoppers against cooties.

As for his "disability," I suspect it's supratentorial. That's a fifty dollar word meaning all in his head. Anyone with that severe a respiratory disability wouldn't be out shopping and giving long winded bogus arguments to people who are just doing their jobs.

[Blue Owl]

32. That guy's burying the needle on the Suck-O-Meter

[movingviolation]

34. The mentally ill, don't realize they are mentally ill.

I'm surprised we're still around at all.

[ShazzieB]

35. Near the end, when he was saying "I hope everybody understands"

I was going, "We understand all right. We UNDERSTAND that you're an entitled, privileged, hateful, selfish, rude, creepy, deranged, wacko, crackbrain NUTJOB."

And I agree with those who are dubious about his having a disability. He certainly doesn't seem to have anything wrong with his lungs. He seemed to have plenty of energy and never got out of breath during that whole rant. I'd be willing to bet that the only "disabilities" this jerk has are of the mental variety.

[rainin]

36. These stores need to protect their workers. These retail workers don't make enough to be forced

to deal with this. I think there should be very loud alarms when someone like this enters the store. The alarms go off and all the employees run to the front and create a wall of protection to prevent this person from entering the store. Once he's inside, he's essentially an "active shooter" and innocent bystanders could get hurt. This is outrageous. The workers need to be trained how to handle this. If masks are required, plan for people like this.

[miyazaki]

45. Very astute points. The person is outwardly disturbed and a potential threat

to anyone and anything around him and a liability. Letting him in? Wtf.

[rainin]

37. Name him. Shame him. n/t

[Goodheart]

38. He is absurdly long-winded for somebody with a "disability"

More that that, though, he's just absurd.

39. Grocery stores in Texas still require face masks:

https://www.kxan.com/news/business/which-grocery-stores-in-texas-will-require-masks-and-which-wont/

H-E-B and Central Market
The largest grocery store chain in Texas updated its policy Friday, March 5, saying “mask use at our stores will remain” for shoppers, employees and vendors.

Costco also requires masks for both customers and employees. It too says this is to simplify its policy and avoid confusion.

Sprouts will still require customers wear face masks saying it is doing so “in light of CDC recommendations.” Sprouts has face coverings for free for those who do not bring their own.

Target says it will continue to require customers entering the store to wear masks. Target says it will provide customers with a reusable or disposable mask if needed.

Walmart requires masks for both customers and employees. It says this is to simplify its policy and avoid confusion. However, Walmart has said employees are not required to enforce the store’s mask mandate.

Wheatsville Co-op released a message on social saying despite the state relaxing rules, “at this time we are choosing to keep our staff and shoppers as safe as possible when in our stores and will not be changing our safety protocols.” Wheatsville added it will change this when leading health organizations recommend it.

Whole Foods requires all shoppers and workers to wear face masks. It provides face masks for free at all store entrances for customers who do not have their own.

In a new statement Friday, March 5, Randalls said masks WILL BE REQUIRED for workers, vendors and customers, regardless of the statewide mandate being lifted

[ailsagirl]

40. *Shudder* n/t

[Oldem]

41. People like this, and there are people like this,

are looking for ways to be offended. Sounding off against the "offender" gives their fragile egos a sense that their right about everything.

[rockfordfile]

43. He should be arrested

[Generic Other]

46. That man should have been gagged as well as masked

and maybe a butterfly net.

I would refuse to be in any establishment that allowed such a person inside. He is disturbing the peace and a germ spewing menace.

I wonder if the girls' mother knows her ex is using their children as a human shield when they are in his custody? NOTE: I am simply assuming that he is divorced based on his personality exhibited so clearly.

[Quixote1818]

47. Trader Joes: "Worse than Nazi Germany, actually." What a Douche. nt

[smirkymonkey]

50. What an absolute psyscopath!

Total drama queen. I can't believe he wasn't booted out on his ass. Someone needs psych help, promptly.
