Doctor's offices had a lot of masks and rubber gloves stolen when this pandemic first hit...yes here in TV...so they're not about to give them away now

Good to know that Target will give you a mask....thanks for sharing that

Hard to believe people would sink that low to steal masks and gloves. Can understand perhaps taking one of each but multiples that is terrible.

Been more than once that one of us had to go back to the car to get the mask we forgot but we will always do so.

The motto of TV is "if it is free it is for me".

Solution: We keep our masks everywhere, so there's always one close by. If she carries a purse--and what woman doesn't--why didn't she have more than one in it (just in case she "forgets")? We're all in this together; which includes those who don't wear masks.

She was elderly...can't you show a little compassion for an elderly person?

To make matters worse, the parking lot shuttle is no longer. Really sad to think of those living here in this portrayed picture perfect friendliest hometown and see them struggle while no consideration is shown or provided! The Villages ought to be Ashamed & Embarrassed by this!!!

Though I can feel for her, masks are required and have been for a long time. I doubt it was rudely told to her but rather firmly since many probably try to get in without one. No where is it required that any place should provide masks to those who forgot one. I have several in my car and one hooked to each of my bags so I wont forget. The shuttle hasnt been around for awhile (not sure how long). No surprise there. Im sorry to sound unfeeling but if you definitely need a shuttle or a wheelchair, its your responsibility to make sure it can be provided. You cant expect all things you need to just be provided

I was volunteering at the Villages hospital as a shuttle driver. A lot of people used to park in the Hospital parking lot and we would Pick them up and take them to the Sharon Morse building, Sharon Morse discontinued their Shuttle service on 12-31-2019 followed with a letter to the hospital that the hospital shuttle was not allowed into their property, all the drivers were issued instructions not to take anyone to the Sharon Morse Building.
I am no longer driving because of the Villages Hospital wanted all volunteers to sign a document exempting the U of F The Villages from any type of lawsuit or litigation from the volunteers. I had the document looked at by a lawyer friend and he told me that if I signed, I was foregoing all my rights and was crazy to sign it. No longer volunteering there. There is not enough parking at Sharon Morris building and the Villages that own it don’t seem to care. By the way in my 75 years in this Earth, I have never filed a suit, or gone to court on one.

At some point, people need to take responsibility for themselves. Masks have been required everywhere for months. Nothing new. We are adults, not children. Why expect others to provide for you and when they dont, they are made to be the bad guy

I keep a pack of disposable masks in the car and golf cart. How did she get to the building? Assume she drove.

Exactly. Again, take responsibility for yourself and not claim to be a victim because youre not catered to. Do you eat at a restaurant and say, ooops forgot my money and expect a free meal then?

Well, there it goes. The first post I've seen blaming those darn snowbirds!!

[doodles]

People forget them occasionally and most businesses have a supply by the entrance

[sroule]

I totally understand. I had severe back pain and Planters fasciitis I had to park over by physical therapy. That was the last time I changed drs..

[Lindsyburnsy]

It is our own responsibility however, people forget their cellphones and wallets and masks when they go out. Masks are cheap and having some on hand for customers who forget, isn’t asking too much.

When my new hospital up north opened, wheelchairs were stolen. They were the collapsible kind. No more.

Sad some think masks are still necessary get the facts
