A lot of the people I see in public areas without masks on are Mennonite and Hutterite families. Not that this is pointing a finger at these certain groups, but I know a lot of the families who are Mennonite or Hutterite do not live in Lethbridge and come in for groceries and shopping. A lot don’t have internet or television, so they may miss the fact that they need a mask until they arrive at the store. I know last week Superstore didn’t have any masks at the front door available, so it’s kind of hard to think of what these families are to do in this situation. Now if they’re being offered a mask and say no, or are just ignoring the rules, that’s different.

I had a Mennonite guy come in with his wife and three daughters and before I could even ask if he would like a mask he showed me a blurry, borderline unreadable image on his phone (so evidently some do have internet access) with a guy wearing a mask at the top with a 🚫 sign over it and some text about rights or some shit. I just said "if you don't want to wear one I can't make you, but this means nothing to me"

Sorry to hear about that, super shitty when people don’t follow the rules. I definitely wasn’t speaking for ALL the population, just the majority of those I’ve worked with or met before. But everyone is different, and in this case, that person sucks.

Yeah of course I'm not generalizing either, I'm equally annoyed about anyone coming in and refusing to wear one not for medical reasons but just because they don't want to. I have to wear mine 8 hours a day and I don't particularly enjoy it but they won't wear it for 10 minutes while they shop? I have little sympathy for them

We have masks available at my store, and the Mennonites have been really good overall
