I then remarked don't remind them throw them out. She said well they may have medical issues. I said, since I challenge one of the men and he didn't say anything I don't think they got medical issues. She again said thank you for bringing this to our attention. As I was moving to the front of the store to check out later one of the individuals walked right in front of Alisha the manager; she said, nothing. I said the individual just walked in front of you why did you do something. She said thank you for bringing this to our attention. If Publix isn't going to fulfill their requirement to us on their signs requiring mask be worn they shouldn't posted. Also, they should not advertise it. So, if you are shopping at Publix watch out there is a lot of people not wearing masks and they are not going to require then to wear the mask; regardless of the signs they put in the front of the store. I have no problem with individuals who have a valid medical reason for not wearing masks. However, they should have a letter from their doctor. If I had a medical condition requiring I could not wear a mask; I would have a letter from my doctor. It wouldn't be hard to get. Publix is just not going to honor their advertisement of requiring masks. I thought the people of the villages would like to know.
I have to agree with you! If a person has a medical condition & it’s so serious that they don’t have wear a mask you would really think the would have to have something saying they’re NOT REQUIRED TO WEAR ONE! Don’t know how they can get into a govt. office place without one.They absolutely won’t let you in without a legal slip saying you have a medical condition unless you show them the excuse! Some govt. places have metal detectors & believe me if they say you have to have mask you better be wheeling in a medical respirator.
