Stay away from this place if you care about your health during the pandemic.
Was waiting in line and had to listen to all the clerks boast they wouldn't wear a mask - that the "governor" couldn't make them wear a mask. Meanwhile all us customers, including the elderly ones, were respectfully wearing ours. Now I'm a staunch believer in civil liberties, but to run your business with no respect (and I use this word pointedly here) for the health (and lives) of your customers -- is reprehensible.
I was feeling so angry when I walked out the door that -- I admit, and against my better judgment - I remarked to the clerk holding the door that "so you're too cool to wear a mask." He flew off off the handle and tried to fight me outside. I'll admit, I used an f-bomb here. But I was ready to fight the guy and stand my ground, when he came charging in my FACE and deliberately BREATHED ON ME from his maskless face. At that point I went back in to ask for the owner -- and when I did, the guy behind the desk claimed, with a smirk on his face, that HE was the owner. Meanwhile the other employees (all of them maskless and in the habit of crowding customers in the aisles, I had already noticed) looked at me like hells angels might look at the guy who knocks over the bikes outside the poolhall.
I got out of there.
These guys should be glad the governor is letting them stay open at all. I don't care what your politics are - the way these clerks acted is a disgrace on liberty and our democratic duty to protect the weak.
