re: #292 Welcome to The Imbleachment (dangerman)

No one is requiring you to wear a mask.

However your not wearing a mask poses a health risk to everyone in the store.

This is private property. You may only enter if you wear a mask at all times. Just like everyone else.

If this is not to your satisfaction, we encourage you to file a complaint with the ADA.
Ask us for their contact info.

(PS - it’s probably fraud of some kind to claim an ‘exemption’ that is not real.)

LA county and some of the cities that have their own health departments (like Long Beach) are requiring masks for customers entering essential businesses. It’s not just a business decision in those locations. I believe it is a business decision on occupancy issues, still - some stores are limiting occupancy, others, I’m not sure about.

As for “you can’t ask me for proof”, that is… and I’m sure this will shock you… not true. HIPAA doesn’t apply to customers in a business. It only applies to health care clearinghouses, employer-sponsored health plans, health insurers, and medical service providers that engage in certain transactions.

Moreover, as a general rule, when you put your health conditions at issue, people are allowed to ask about them. This happens in litigation all the time. Someone claims disability discrimination, the employer/defendant is allowed to ask questions about it. Same thing would happen in these cases.

Oh, and the ADA doesn’t apply to people without disabilities.
