re: #69 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

Wingnuts are trying to deploy the ADA as some sort of “get out of jail free” card because the ADA says that a corporation cannot ask a disabled person about their specific disability. They are claiming wearing masks is a disability, therefore the corporation can’t ask them about it.

And what sort of private stuff would she buy that the checkstand operator wouldn’t see anyway?

Anyone who’s worked in the service industry knows that the point of this tactic is just to wear staff down to the point where the policy effectively becomes a dead letter. Where the danger posed to staff from hysterical assholes refusing to put on a mask or leave outweighs the company’s desire to present the picture of caring for the health and safety of its customers. The policy will still exist and responsible customers will wear masks, but the number of assholes who refuse because “The ADA says I don’t gotta!” will just increase until the policy is rescinded…or a public stink is raised and corporate responds by berating its employees for not enforcing the policy.
