Home hardware is a block away from me in my town.. I am doing a lot of work on this new house I bought, so I am a very frequent customer.. Up until, just a few days ago, my plastic shield was considered a mask.. Now it isn't, however, it is my right to shop, I don't like being told I'm not allowed in stores anymore.. And only Home-hardware says these shields are not sufficient.. at the Hospital in Halifax, my shield was accepted.. Why are you guys following those rules even more than the Hospital? I am claustrophobic, with PTSD, I will actually faint, if wearing a mask longer the 10 minutes.. and already 2 minutes in I feel panicked.. The plastic shield was me doing my best efforts, I am disappointed, in Home-hardware.. For enforcing these rules more than all the other stores.. I would boycott, if it would make a difference..
