Ruth's Room Too

After browsing for aprox 5 mins a man stepped out of a back room without a mask on and said we had to wear a mask if we wanted to shop, my sisters walked to the counter were the paper masks were being kept inside a USED tissue box where everyones hands have dipped inside touching everything including the masks.

An employee told me I had to wear one of those. I am disabled and have severe asthma. I told the woman due to breathing complications I cannot wear a mask, she ran off.

Seconds later the maskless man from earlier walked up behind me as I was leaning over looking at an item. "Maam, maam, maam!" This man says loudly and rudely "I guess you're hard of hearing". I turn around this man is 2 ft from me with his mask below his mouth.

This man chose to make a scene to shame and embarrass me before we ever exchanged words. I was told to either wear one of those masks in the dirty tissue box or leave because he wanted his employees to "live".

I did raise my voice because this man was breaking his own rules....twice. How do you justify getting that close to a woman, intimidating her by standing over her and being rude?

Yes, I understand that the stores can do what they want. It's like "no shirt, shoes, no service" and I will comply with their rules (or leave) if they require that, which I did.

The cult of masks should be over but some places still cant give it up even though the CDC/Fauci says masks dont work.

I would give this dirty store a zero if I could. Treating your customers in such a shameful display and encouraging others to shame and embarrass your customers is WRONG! He tried to get others involved because I guess standing over a 5'4 woman when your at least 6 ft man wasn't enough for him. This was the most vile and horrible treatment I've ever experienced since Covid.

There are plenty of wonderful stores nearby to spend your money on, give this place a wide berth if you dont enjoy being harrassed and shamed by rude employees.
