I won't be shopping at Makro Cape Gate again.

From my social media post ( 01/06/2020)

Got turned away from Makro Capegate today because I was wearing a face shield that covers past my chin, I can't wear a normal mask because I have a chronic breathing abnormality. I won't be shopping there again, because after waiting for three hours, nobody managed to tell me until I got to the front of the queue (even though I had spoken to about four of the Makro employees before I got to the front of the queue). I have been able to shop at every other shop in creation with the face shield I currently wear, but not there.

Side note: I had to send a car guard to call somebody, because I wanted to speak to a manager and they would not let me into the store to speak to one, to which the manager then came outside and told me that if I have a problem with the regulations, I must speak to the government, he was not rude about it, just direct. However, I explained to him that I could not wear any other kind of mask because of my limited lung capacity and he still refused to budge.

I do feel discriminated against in this regard, as I know of someone else who went in with a face mask the day before me ( that was a face shield, not a clothing mask) with no problems and it was the same exact Makro.

I have had Makro comment on my original Facebook post to inbox them my number, to which I did. I am waiting for some form of contact from them and then I will update my post accordingly. But for now, I am still deeply upset, as I waited such a long time and wasted my own time, and then had them ignore the reason why I wore that mask, a full plastic face shield that covered me up until my chin.
