New in-store maskless policy is dangerous, reckless and premature
1
I have just heard that TJ's, in light of new CDC guidance, is going to allow un-masked customers to come into stores. While, at the same time, requiring its employees to wear masks all shift long. This CDC guidance is just that, it is not mandatory by any means. Other retail chains are NOT doing this, they are continuing to require masking of customers until later at such time they feel that Covid is more under control for the protection of customers and employees. I am very pissed off with TJs. At least during the past year, with masks required of customers, I felt a modicum of safety while shopping at your stores in Northern California, as I wore my mask like everybody else. Now, you are allowing unvaccinated, unmasked people into stores with no control on numbers inside the stores. Even though I'm vaccinated, I still have up to a 10% chance of becoming infected with Covid. I am in a higher risk age and health category. You are risking my health and that of millions of your other customers who have done their community duty and become vaccinated for the protection of all -- for what? To enable those vacccine and mask refuseniks to now come into your space to potentially infect me and others. The number of unvaccinated in this country is still huge. No doubt in every one of your stores, symptomatic and asymptomatic infected customers will be in the aisles, without masks. I ask you to reconsider this decision, and postpone this policy change until more of the population is vaccinated. Until there is more population vaccination, this 20-year + customer is no longer bringing my weekly shopping to TJs.
