A COMMENTER at The Healthy American writes (slightly edited for grammar):

I went to Target with my children today, to go to the Pharmacy and pick up some school supplies. I do know there is so much signage on front doors and at entrances, but I just don’t bother reading it. I obviously know the negative narrative.

My kids and I entered and it’s never a manager at the door. It’s the teenager. They put the children at the doors. And, boy, are they being “trained.” Long story short: Stopped for several minutes and I was harassed for simply saying I was exempt from wearing a mask, as are my children, for our religious beliefs. She looked confused, at first. So, I asked her which way to the Pharmacy.

She then repeated herself, so I then politely repeated myself. Then she said since I refused a mask she could provide a face shield for me and my children. I politely, said, no thank you. And, asked again which way to the Pharmacy. She then proceeded to tell me that upon entering there are “so many signs, big ones” showing that masks are required. I told her I was in the store to pick up a medication. I have been here before And, have said, I don’t wear masks, never have.

I then just said, “I see the Pharmacy sign. Thanks. I’ll be on my way.”  Her final word: “Well, it’s a free country, I guess.” I said, “It sure is.” I wish I didn’t waste my time! But I have my nine- and 11-year-old. And, I will always be kind. I will always show them we are free. I will always conduct myself with dignity.
