We've already seen one thread about one guy who couldn't control his temper and screamed vulgarities loudly enough to be heard across the store. That was right here at the Villages.

We've seen "that online newspaper" giving us push-by-shove descriptions of police reports of violence against, and by, store employees out of anger, over the past few years.

There has been at least one incident so far of a man shooting and killing a store employee for having the nerve to require that the man wear a mask. That was not in the Villages - but it did happen recently.

Many Villagers are proud owners of firearms, sport their NRA bumper stickers on their cars and golf carts, and even come here to this forum declaring on no uncertain terms that they will use their firearms to protect their freedoms if and whenever necessary.

I for one do NOT want to be the person at the supermarket ordering some twitchy old geezer with an eager trigger finger, carrying his glock in his side holster, to wear a mask or get out of my store.

If it's that important to you, then go ahead and open up your own store and enforce your rules however you see fit. Let me know which store it is so I know at which store to never apply for a job.
