A READER writes:

I was almost physically handled at Whole Foods today when I went to shop without a mask. They had this big guy at the door who got right in my face. Then the manager called security; that’s when I took out my order and had him read the exemption, and he let me shop.

I told him I’ve spent thousands of dollars at that store, and how dare he treat me like a criminal. I got a tongue-lashing from a customer too. He had a heart problem. I thanked him for wearing a mask for me.

The reader adds:

I was a bit disappointed. I had thought that the riots cured Covid. They claimed that I should have showed them the paperwork from the beginning. No one asked me, they treated me as if I was not wearing pants or walking around with an open beer.

Really, I felt like an “undesirable.” Wegman’s, on the other hand, has been great. They are the best at this. Never been bothered, always polite. One little girl working the register asked me why I chose not to wear a mask. I told her that we should have an unimpeded, free flow of air, and that I didn’t want to find out what the (negative) consequences were.
