"A store employee yelled at a woman for not wearing a mask. I saw she looked visibly upset as she put her items back and left the store peacefully. I saw her again out in the parking lot and she was using an inhalator. She seemed to be in distress and having breathing difficulties. I talked to her for a bit and calmed her down. It turns out she did not have a mask because she suffers from a combination of emphysema and anxiety, and the confrontation was done in such a public way with the employee yelling at her and other people around with their phones out that it was triggering a panic attack. I was concerned I might need to call an ambulance for this person. I think the store might need to think about the way they approach people about the mask policy. First, if it is a requirement they need to be enforcing it as people come in not as they are checking out and it needs to be a calm conversation between people. If the employee would have asked the woman in a less publicly humiliating matter she could have had a chance to explain. I told the woman that she should call and tell them but I wanted to make sure that people are aware as she said she was not wanting to post about it online. I also am not sure if this is significant but from my observation, she was the only white person without a mask on in the store and there were several black people in the store with no mask that were not being yelled at. As a black person I am usually a little more aware of this but I am wondering if she was being profiled. If the policy is being enforced it needs to be addressed with all people, not just the only white person not wearing a mask when there were at least 3 black people also within sight not wearing a mask. I get that it is a trend right now to capture on camera confrontations between people of different races, but I am not sure how else the woman could have handled the situation other than putting her things back and walking out of the store. We need to stop being judgmental when we don't know why people are not wearing masks and need to stop filming peoples everyday lives without there permission. I wish I could give this store zero stars."
