"I was wearing a mask, standing still, a safe distance from the cashier stand waiting for someone who was helping me with an order. A man in a uniform (store security or firefighter?), navy blue, short-sleeved shirt, emblem on his sleeve, brushed past me. He was so close, he may have touched me. He was not wearing a mask. As he brushed past me, he spoke to me. The Rite Aid was almost empty so there was NO need for him to come so close to me. He could have easily walked around me at a safe distance. He seemed impatient. Problem: 1. He was too close to me 2. He wasn't wearing a mask. 3. He spoke so there was potential spread of saliva. I don't know what his uniform represented. It happened very fast, and I was distracted by the business at hand. I reflected on it as I drove home. By the time I got home, I was outraged. It happened Sunday, May 3, 2020, around 11 AM. I'm 77 yr old with heart arrhythmia. I have tried very hard to protect myself and others. I have obeyed Stay Home-Stay Healthy scrupulously. This man put me at risk for no apparent reason. Regardless if he's a store security employee or a firefighter, he should be reprimanded and educated about PPE and safety precautions. I wish I had gotten his name!!!" - Judy
