Menards used to be my go to store for many years over Lowes and Home Depot, but with the ongoing issue of having to wear a face mask to enter the store, or even the ability to buy merchandise has become the main issue. On June 14, 2020, I have decided to shop Menards Sidney, Ohio location entering the store without the face mask. It is my decision alone as an adult to decide if the face mask is necessary or not. I was told by a Menards Employee as I enter the store; I could not enter without one on, but entered anyways as it is my decision.
First of all, if there was an absolute risk of getting covid-19, don’t you think it would be necessary for a Menards employee to check everyone’s temperature before entering the building? Anyone could enter the building with having a fever, cold, or flu symptoms, wear a face mask, and not checked. Is this the standard practice of Menards? Is the use of the face mask really solving any real possible issue? For one, if there was a possibility of any symptoms of covid-19, as an adult, my decision would be to stay home, and not run the risk of affecting others. Wouldn’t you think this would be the census of the community?
As I was nearing the area of the checkout area for purchasing the merchandise, I was confronted again by the Manager of Menards. The question was asked if I have a mask, and my reply was no, and will always be no. The Manager’s response was out of respect, and stated I would not be allowed to make any purchases without the face mask. So, my response was to drop all the merchandise in hand, and left the store. I figured there is other box store just as good as Menards where the use of the face mask is unnecessary.
So, other businesses and restaurants in the Sidney location are not enforce the issue of the face mask, so why is Menards? Just to list a few: Bob Evans, Walmart, Tractor Supply, Krogers, Dollar General, etc……
Sorry to say, I refuse to do any more business with Menards, and will shop at other locations for my needs. One thing to take note of, Lowes is next door to Menards, and I do continue to see more shoppers there then Menards. This is not just my thoughts, but thoughts of others I communicate with. You have to ask yourself, when do you say enough is enough?
