  1. So the guy goes to an Asian grocer to buy Asian products and demands the Asians working there go back to China. Where in the world is the logic in that?

    1. It’s called conservative logic. It’s the same as the logic behind trickle down economics, give all the money to the rich, and it’ll magically come down to the bottom.

  2. He’s special. I saw same thing, not as bad yesterday a grocery store. It was all I could do to not engage. Follow the rules.

    1. Fair. I also choose not to wear a mask, but have no problem respecting other people’s rights or store policies. It would be hypocritical to do otherwise.

  3. Captions for videos don’t work when you put up links for your other videos over top of them. DO BETTER I lose at least 15 seconds of the story because of the captions being cover.

  4. I question the authenticity of this video. Seems like a staged event to use as a talking point for politicians like Trudeau to deflect from WE.

    1. The reason for this while answering your question is because they are selfishly hypocritical narcissists who are being stupid for thinking that it will ruin their reputation!!!

  5. Kudos to the employees. I would not have been able to restrain myself if I were there. I would have ended up in jail for assault.

  6. Please don’t put “watch next” over the one I’m currently watching! The comments were unreadable!

  7. Came across an elderly lady at the grocery store yesterday that basically passed out because she had to wear a mask…I like the ones with zippers though,it helps with safe sex. 🙂

  8. The guy sure sounded mad. Definitely no excuse for what he said. However they never show footage of what events lead up to these situations. What did the staff really say to get this guy that mad?

    1. Store policy is to wear a mask to enter the premises. He got pissed because he wanted to be a spoiled self-centered brat who thought his rights were more important than others. The store is a private property and can apply such rules if they choose. The temper tantrum itself was unjustified because the same policy applies at a few other stores as well, including Longo’s. In fact, most of the GTHA has or will be adopting this requirement anyways.

    2. @Steve’s World of Wanders that doesn’t change what I wrote. Why is that him being told to wear a mask NOT on video? Why is the escalation excluded from the video?

    3. @chimaican chimaican that doesn’t change what I wrote. There is nothing in the video between the customer and staff that supports what you wrote.

  9. A virus CANNOT be spread through the air only by injection the common flu is a bacterial infection period. A mask has neen scientifically proven to weaken your immune system so when Bill and his syco wife unleash round 2 of covid most of you will get sick or possibly even die.
