On Saturday December 5th at 11:05 AM I was in line to check out
At the Dollar Tree here in Canon City. There was a guy in front of me that did not have a mask on. I am a travel ICU RN & I was looking at him as he placed his hand in his sleeve over his mouth. He then asked me if I "have a problem?" I replied "yes, you're not wearing a mask like everyone else in this store. I told him I am a ICU nurse and our state is under a mask order." He removed his sleeved hand from his mouth and said "there, Im not wearing a mask at all & called me "Karen" as if thats some sort of insult. I will be a "karen" when it comes to people not wearing masks. I've been all over this country in the past 10 months and pulled sheets over so many deceased patients...I have lost track of that number.
The problem I have with Dollar Tree is the cashier at the register proceeded to chit chat with this man and his wife. Once they were checked out at the register the cashier very loud and nicely told them to " have a GREAT DAY" but when I checked out she did not say one word to me. I was in my lawful right to call this man out. We have a state mandated order which is the LAW. Not wearing a mask in public is a civil crime. The cashier had every legal right to ask the man to step outside for the heath and safety of the other customers. She chose not to do this. I will be calling their headquarters in Virginia on Monday morning for her rudeness and disregard for Colorado state law. read more
