(90,642 posts)... when the ADA gets invoked.
We are in a public health crisis. Those who want an exemption need to show proof, ie a doctors letter.
When I needed a handicap parking permit, I was not allowed to print up some bogus piece of paper and park wherever my fancy took me I had to go to my doc, get him to fill out and sign a form, take it to the DMV, pay a fee, and only then was I issued a temporary handicap parking permit.
The people claiming their desire to do what they want on their own say-so are assholes, plain and simple.
By the way, my local COSTCO is doing just fine with the mask policy.
If I were you, I would write a letter to local COSTCO management, cc to national headquarters, and calmly lay out the ways in which the invocation of ADA and/or HIPAA is wrong on all counts.
