I remember being in Hannaford right after mask mandates hit. A teen employee was asking people walking into the store to put on a mask. He had a box of masks right there that you could take one if needed. I watched an older woman start screaming at this kid for daring tell her what to do. He'd never told her more than "it's store policy now" and was polite and calm the entire time. She proceeded to push her cart into him.

When you're being paid minimum wage and dealing with people like that, I can't imagine wanting to stay in that position. It's not surprising to me that stores are still trying to fill spots.
