Leavenworth ice cream shop fires worker after argument with customer over face mask mandate

After a teenage girl tried coming into Cold Stone Creamery in Leavenworth without a face mask and was refused service, the girl's mother had it out with an employee.

People are delusional! They have no clue what discrimination is anymore

Don't ever go back to a company that hasn't got your back. It'll never end well. The company owner only offered the job back to save face.

Working at an ice cream shop for minimum-wage does not give customers the right to abuse employees!!! That employee had every right to say that to the nasty customer. It’s too bad that the owner doesn’t stand up for their employees. Just because you work somewhere does not give people the right to abuse you, hats off to the employee for not putting up with the ridiculous woman’s abuse. If I was from there I would not visit that store just because they don’t stand up for their employees. Shame on the owners

Don't take that job back, the boss is an ass for firing the employee who did the right thing

There's a sign on the door that says masks are required ... If a customer is denied service for refusing to wear a mask, how is that discrimination? The teenagers mom isn't doing her daughter any favors by making her believe she's special

[swalterstennis]

That lady is WRONG and RUDE. The store sign said to wear a mask. Also, it’s mandated by the state. That mom said her daughter was “discriminated?” No, her daughter was refused are use because she didn’t wear a mask. Paris did the right thing, although she could have been a little more professional.

[swalterstennis]

If you want to shop there, or anywhere in the state of Washington, you must wear a mask.

[okboomer]

You did good Paris. But now you learn it's best to just walk away from the Karens and Kevins of the world. They are not worth it. Take the job back, no need to make it personal. Living well is the best revenge.

This girl should sue Cold Stone for being a bad employer. Cold Stone put money over the safety of their employees.

[BillyBernardtherd]

I think we should all send Paris $100.00 for doing her job!!

[christyhernandez]

That Mother is a POS...She needs to follow the laws and teach her child the same.

"Everyone in Leavenworth" now knows theres a Rabid Karen out there thats

[realitynow]

The CDC is now saying that the virus is mutating. A couple of years ago my son (who was a senior in high school) and I were discussing this issue. He stated that it took at least two years for a flu virus to mutate according to his science class.

What the hell does it matter now. The science now says a virus can mutate in little as two weeks.

It is time to take the masks off and let Darwin run a few laps.

[daxmoonshadow]

Everyone should be fired who enforces that law

[candlehoarder]

The governor's mandate is not a law.

[meowinde]

That wasn't even worth getting fired over. My managers have always told me that when customers are like that, we dont need their business. If someone comes into your place of work talking crazy, usually a boss would understand something as small as a "snappy comment".

[April-tz]

so they've made Leavenworth into an open air prison..? wait, no, not even that.

[lynngatlin]

No state county or city can mandate any law of any kind. This is so unlawfull an an out right shame.

If Cold Stone caters to combative Karens then I cancel thee, cruel corporation.

[kimm.]

Just let the customers do whatever they want. That's the managers responsibility to argue with customers
