and it reveals how states' new rules endanger workers

A Trader Joe's customer accused the grocer of violating Texas state law, after employees denied the man entry without a mask.

The situation highlights how the state's new rules have put many frontline workers in a vulnerable position, as they are forced to impose corporate rules without the support of the government.

In a video of the Trader Joe's incident posted on Instagram, the mask-less shopper pushed past greeters at the door who offered to give him disposable masks and refused to let him enter without a face covering.

The man said he was disappointed in the grocer's decision to maintain a mask requirement in the store and said he should be allowed entry without a mask due to a undisclosed disability. The store's employees - located near McKinney, Texas - told the man they would allow him in without a mask if he put masks on his two children, but then he pushed past the workers.

1. That's everyday at most companies

"as they are forced to impose corporate rules without the support of the government."

Very few companies policies have the force of law behind them.

If they did, we would to hire about 1,000 times more police officers and we would have ALOT and I mean ALOT more cop shootings.

Policy says Limit of 1 gallon of milk! You have 2 gallons. BANG BANG BANG!

2. I was in WF last week and as I left..

I looked back at the clerks and said I don't care
what Abbott says, I'm wearing my mask. And
they said WF still requires it anyway.

Every single person I saw there was masked and
careful.

I don't think crazy Trumpers shop there maybe.

3. The lifting of the mandate does not even take place until Wed. the 10th.

I may need to drive 85 miles to Austin to go to TJ.

4. Some of these people crack me up

They start spouting some legal jargon that sounds impressive, but it usually is just a bunch of words meant to sound very official and intimidating. At least he didn't claim his "right to commerce". I think they read something on the Internet and think it is actual law or they know they are bullshitting and want the attention.

5. Watched a man with wife and three kids turn down a mask at the grocery the other day.

He shouted at the poor woman manning the door.

"I already have AIDS! Your mask won't help me!"

Then he followed up with a loud guffaw, and looked around to make sure everybody heard how clever he is.

Sometimes it is hard to stomach my fellow citizens.
