MICHAELS IN HOWARD COUNTY MD
MICHAELS IN HOWARD COUNTY MD . . . COVID CESSPOOL! DO NOT ENTER IF YOU VALUE YOUR HEALTH! Two customers standing behind us in checkout. One not wearing a mask; the other with mask under nostrils. We asked them to socially distance and pull up/put on their masks. They refused and became verbally abusive. We asked for a manager. After many minutes an employee came up from the back and asked the women to properly wear masks. THEY REFUSED! The employee told us that they could not force the women to wear masks. I left the store, leaving my wife in line. I called the Howard County MD Health Department. They advised that calling the non-emergency police number for the county should have been done. After the fact, no report can be filed. The Howard County Health Department advised that I call Michaels Corporate Office today. A very nice woman called me back and told me that they could do nothing to enforce the mandate but that employees are stationed to advise and hand out masks. None of this was happening in the store. NONE OF THIS IS GOOD ENOUGH! The women should have been told to leave the store. The Howard County MD Health Department is aggressive in enforcing the mandate and have closed other retail stores in Howard County for violations. I will NEVER go into a Michaels again and will take this as far as I can. In the meantime, no matter how important decorating your door, lawn or tree is to you, order online from a company that supports your health.
