Anti-Masker “Karens” Attempt To Enter Trader Joe’s, Get Rejected By This Awesome Manager
An 8-minute video has just gone viral, showing anti-mask protesters attempting to make their way into a Trader Joe’s and the store manager’s firm yet superhumanly polite rejection.
The video, posted on Instagram by a user who identifies as @davenewworld_, has been viewed over 570K times in just a few days. It has also been viewed more than 8 million times on Twitter.
The Salem, Oregon store representative confirmed that the incident took place.
The recording begins with a woman who remains behind the camera (but quickly exposes herself as a typical Karen) approaching the Trader Joe’s entrance and the manager blocking her way. They exchange pleasantries at first but she soon tries to escalate things.

Oregon’s mask requirements state that wearing a mask is required in all indoor public spaces. Adults are only exempt if they have a medical condition that makes it hard for them to breathe or a disability that prevents them from wearing a mask altogether.
Public places such as grocery stores are entitled by law to deny service to whoever refuses to wear a mask.
USA Today talked to legal experts and they said that the 1964 Civil Rights Act does not give people the right to shop without a mask.
In a recent interview, general practitioner, medical researcher, and founder of PrimeHealth Clinical Research, Iris Gorfinkel, M.D., told Bored Panda that the CDC made it clear that masks protect both their wearers and the people around them. “Masks are helpful because they block large and fine droplet particles that the virus can cling to,” Gorfinkel said. “They’re helpful for blocking not just COVID-19 but other viruses as well, including influenza.”
“In fact, a study done in Thailand looked at more than 1,000 people and found that those wearing a mask during high-risk exposure reduce the risk of getting infected by 70%. That’s seven zero. That’s a lot. And we’ve also seen reduced transmission on flights lasting longer than 10 hours.”
Here’s what people said after watching the video

All over the world idiots are trying to "exercise their freedom" by infecting others with a fatal disease. I respect the guy for keeping his cool instead of getting the water hose out and baptizing these morons with some common sense and a lot of cold water.

Ok here's the truth. The 5G towers put in all the places release nannites or Nano particles in the air, when we breathe these particles enter your brain through the nose and the government uses it control you. Wear a mask to avoid these particles from entering your nose. I would have given you the link to the article, but looks like the government has deleted it. I cannot find it any longer.

Unless you were drafted back in the 60's...wearing a mask in public during a global pandemic is the only sacrifice this country has ever asked of you. If you're really concerned about peoples rights, go enlist in the military. You probably could use the discipline and education.

These anti-maskers (a lot of them getting Covid) are the 2021 proof that natural selection is real and at work. What’s a shame is that in the process they put other people at risk including their family members. All this make me sick 😷
