Oregon Trader Joe's manager calmly intercepts anti-mask protesters' shopping attempt: 'That's not go

Source: Oregonlive.com

Trader Joe’s nationwide policy requires customers to wear masks in stores.

“We’re not demonstrating, we’re buying groceries,” a protester says. “That’s why I’m here.”

The manager says he is enforcing the store’s mask mandate.

“It’s not a law. You cannot enforce non-law,” a protester says. “You cannot deny somebody the right to commerce.”

The store manager appears to offer to shop for the protesters and bring out what they want. Amid growing shouting, a woman says: “I need to buy groceries. I don’t know what I want until I go in and see it. The Civil Rights Act protects me to go in and shop like everybody else.”

The nation is suffering from a pandemic of convoluted rightwing "rights" argle bargle. The young manager deserves a medal for his calm and patient handling of the situation.

The antimaskers are taking their stand in one of the hotspots in Oregon for the 'rona. The mutant variant has found its way here.
