LOS ANGELES (KCAL/KCBS/CNN) – A customer at a North Hollywood Trader Joe’s recorded a woman throwing a tantrum after she was told to wear a face covering inside the store, which just hours earlier celebrated its grand opening.

California mandates masks in public because of the coronavirus pandemic, but people with medical conditions that prevent them from wearing masks are exempt. In the video, the woman says she’s in that group.

She’s also heard yelling expletives and calling people “Democratic pigs,” and seen slamming her shopping basket to the ground.

Employees try to escort the woman from the store. She doesn’t leave at first, saying she didn’t do anything wrong.

Police were called to the Trader Joe’s, but no charges were filed and the woman went home.

Customers said they were disgusted by the woman’s behavior.

“She was saying she had lung or breathing problems, right? Then, she would want to be protected. So, it just makes no sense,” one customer said.

Customers said they were disgusted by the woman’s behavior.

“She was saying she had lung or breathing problems, right? Then, she would want to be protected. So, it just makes no sense,” one customer said.


“You’ve got to wear a mask,” said another customer. “The guidelines are, wear a mask. It’s respectful to other people. It’s not just about what feels right for you or what selfishly is best for you. It’s about protecting everybody.”

Millions watched the video on social media and commented on it over the weekend.

One person posted: “As a Trader Joe’s employee, I can’t go a day without being obligated to politely take some level of outrage related to masks. You have to wear a mask for 20 minutes to shop. I have to wear it over eight hours a day, five days a week, and deal with people like this.”

The woman in the video later explained that a medical issue makes it hard for her to breathe out of her nose. She said an employee offered to shop for her, but she wanted to shop for herself.

quote:

She also said the store manager allowed her to shop without a mask, but claimed a fellow customer started yelling at her for not wearing one. The woman said the video started recording after that confrontation.

As for calling people “Democratic pigs” in the video, she said she doesn’t regret saying that.



She's not wrong. One of these days I'm going to wear a MAGA hat to Trader Joe's while wearing a hidden camera just to run an experiment.

See the key here is to hit that sweet spot on Sundays after the old farts have gone shopping and before all the upper middle class white women get out of Church.

Otherwise there's always a line at our TJ's as well.

I am about to start getting my dad (who is 68) to go for me during seniors only hour in the mornings. No chance I am waiting outside in a parking lot in the middle of summer.

thats my biggest problem with this. The general public believes this shite. It’s called personal protective equipment for a reason.

The key is rain. Any time it rains I run out to my TJs and breeze right in.

IWFFI. Shut her up and verify that she has no “breathing problems”.

Didn't know a mask makes it impossible to use your mouth.

I would. She’s attractive and seems to have good morals. People who get on others about not wearing masks are morons. Wear your mask if you want to protect yourself, if you think it protects you. I feel bad for the woman.
