According to this person a woman shopper in the store, apparently a Villager, asked the manager to make the person leave because he was apparently sweaty after working all day. Whether or not this is true or not is open to question but it was said with some emotion so I believe it. This person also added that there are locals who live near TV, that drive to Ocala to shop to avoid having contact with Villagers.
Scary, to think that such attitudes exist.
