Was at Costco with my Gf today. She wanted to buy some new frames from the optical department.
We were told that we needed to wear a mask to go beyond their counter to look at the different frames.
She wasn't having any of that so the manager of the department was called. He was apologetic but said they are a different department that has to follow different rules. Something to do with the College Of Optometrists Of Ontario I believe. Anyways he offered to get the store manager, so she was all for that.
The store manager came and right off the bat we noticed he wasn't wearing a mask whereas everybody she had dealt with thus far was. He arranged a compromise where the frames would be taken down and brought to her. They didn't want to do that before he arrived.
The store manager told me under his breath that the maskers or ''sardines'' as he called them have been giving him a hard time since the mandates were dropped. Seems they're appalled that Costco is actually letting people make their own decisions when it comes to their health. He shook my hand and asked my name and apologized on behalf of the store.
Just goes to show the level of fear porn there is out there. The indoctrination is deep.
