Video at link. Gov Wolf has conducted himself like a world class idiot when it comes to handling the "pandemic". On the other hand is Nicholas Conley looking for a payout in the lawsuit lottery? I can imagine ambulance chasers like Morgan and Morgan "have you or a loved one been denied service for not wearing a mask due to a medical condition? If so you may be entitled to significant compensation." . Conley's Dr's note excusing him from wearing a mask does say TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW . AMD the employees seemed willing to get his groceries for him. Seems like he doesn't have much of a case.

So dont go. Or have a note from your doc.
FFS, these people act like babies.

I’m more impressed that in a town like Pittsburgh that is overrun with Democrat Lawyers they could find some to take their cases.

Pittsburgh’s Action News 4 received a statement from a Giant Eagle spokesperson in early May, saying Conley appeared to have an agenda and people with a medical condition can have an employee shop for them, use curbside pickup or be given a courtesy mask.
Someone tell me what I’m missing here. If you can’t wear a mask to do shopping due to a medical condition, they will give you a courtesy mask? They will give a courtesy mask to someone who can’t wear the mask? Am I reading this right, or do I not under understand corporate policy language?

This happened to me. I've had asthma my whole life and simply can not wear a mask and walk around the stores. Just look on the Harrisburg,PA Health Dept. web site about the mask policy and it clearly states that if you can not wear a mask you do not have to,and no doctors note is required. I told this to a manager at Giant Eagle and he yelled in my face "I don't give a F#@k!"

If we’re social distancing we don’t need the stupid masks.
To: Impala64ssa
These governors could be accomplices to mass illnesses from those mandated to wear the masks. . .CO2 and germ inhalation. I am sure that everyone wearing a mask is using the necessary precautions. . . Yea, right! Tell me another one. I’ve seen people throw them around, bring them down off their faces touching the mask itself and you know very well the majority don’t clean them and then there are those filters???? Are all these precautions going to be tax deductible?

So dont go. Or have a note from your doc. FFS, these people act like babies. Exactly. It's a private company. Shop elsewhere. Shopping in a supermarket for 30 minutes and being in contact with an infected person for 2 minutes, once a week, is not likely to make you sick. WORKING in that market for 8 hours a day and being exposed to hundreds of people every day is far riskier. Retailers have an obligation to protect their employees.

Ordinarily I would agree with you - shop somewhere else. Unfortunately, in the Pittsburgh region, Giant Eagle has a near monopoly. There aren’t a whole lot of alternatives.

YOU dont need it, but that 50 year old cashier needs you to put it on.
Either wear it or dont. A private company doesnt have to ask you mother may I?
Find a new place to shop.

Or use curbside pick-up or delivery. Giant Eagle offers delivery.

Wolf was wrong.
The supermarket was wrong.
The pigs were wrong.
Enough of this fascism.

It’s not a store policy it is a government policy.
It is not like he can shop somewhere else right now.

It is mandated by the government. Has nothing to do with the store.
I live in CLE and shop Giant Eagle. No mask required here.

Go read the F’n constitution. Maybe you can tell me where the “get a note from your doctor” clause is.

"This happened to me. I've had asthma my whole life and simply can not wear a mask and walk around the stores."
If you can't have products delivered and don't have someone to shop for you, wear masks a little loose. If you wear glasses, wear masks snug across the top and looser at the bottom.

Apparently you don’t give a crap about freedom. The government was pushing this issue. The supermarket was also wrong for incorrectly enforcing an unconstitutional order. The police were wrong with enforcing an unconstitutional order. This type of actions and thinking has ruined America.

Wally World is everywhere, including 3 within a 10 mile radius of where I live. There is also Shop'n'Save, 5 within a 10 mile radius.
I happen to like Giant Eagle (4 within a 10 mile radius) the best because of their curbside pickup service which allows you the opportunity to totally avoid jerks of this nature.
