WTF? Is this current? Does Costco still do masks in some areas?

That’s her old slogan. She has since updated it:
“Honoring the past. Preparing for the future. Screaming like a lunatic.”

Without looking it up, I’d guess that this video was from a while back. Costco around here hasn’t required masks for some time now, though they used to be total mask Nazis. That’s why we didn’t buy anything at Costco for more than a year. We survived, and so did Costco. Still don’t go there often.

'Elizabeth Gray is a clinical mental health counselor ... a licensed clinical mental health counselor by profession'

This must be the type of 'mental health counselor' who is encouraging young kids to 'transition'.

Watch the video. None, except Gray and her companion, are wearing masks. There has to be more to this story otherwise why did she choose this guy to assail? Were there words spoken?

You still have some numbers out there.

I would have hoped that as this started, the rest of the people in costco would have gathered around these people in a circle, spitting at them and baaaa-ing like sheep. And laughing. And laughing harder the more freaked out these nazi wannabes got.

Some liberal c-—t does that to me in TX, she’s likely to get ventilated HARD... and if I can pick my own jury, I walk.

As I quickly learned in college, and thus switched majors, people that go into mental health usually do so seeking a cure for themselves. She hasn’t found it yet.

American Fork is in Utah County, South of Salt Lake closer to Provo. Utah County is, or at least was, a bastion of Mormons. Likely over 50% Mormon. When we left Utah Salt lake county was estimated at about 47% LDS, that was in 2013. Looks as though the great economic conditions of the state attracted the people who tend to screw up the states they live in.

We still have people wearing masks at our Costco. I find COSTCO shoppers to be particularly rude, though, especially the men, who practically run through the store, pushing their cart ahead of them, like a battering ram.

About a month after having knee surgery, I was leaving Costco, when I was presented with a line from the return counter that was backed up out to the sidewalk for some recall, I slowed down a bit to see how to get around that line and the woman in back of pushed me with her grocery cart. I turned and said, “What are you doing?” She said, well I didn’t hurt you, did I? I told her I just had knee replacement surgery and that she just about knocked me over.

After that, my husband started going to COSTCO with me.

“Previously, she has managed the gaming retailer GameStop’s local store and considers herself to be a community builder having adequate business acumen and leadership skills.”

There’s a ringing endorsement - reminds me of the career-killer bullet point in Officer Performance Reports: “Performs routine phases of his job adequately”...

Exactly.

I have a relative who’s a psychiatrist. He needs one.

All I can say if some deranged Maskerbater tries that with me, at least their mask will help to stem the blood flow from the crushed NOSE!!!

I don’t want Costco to have to make a “Clean-Up on Aisle 4” message over the PA.

Purple hair. Check.

Fat. Check.

Mask. Check.

“Problem glasses”. Check.

Loud, demanding, and obnoxious. Check.

I’m not defending this lunatic, but I wonder if the confrontation wasn’t over Huggies instead of a mask? He has a cart full, and they have one box that she points at near the end of the video. Also, no one else is wearing a mask and they’re not getting assaulted by these loonies.

The fact they’re the only ones wearing masks (and the purple hair) tells you all you need to know...
