Idiot alert
Are you sure this isn’t the wawa in Lacey township?
Robert Zawada downtown new Egypt
Scott A Barnes you missed the joke. Most of the ocean county scanner news about a wawa happens in Lacey or Tom’s river. Just sayin
Robert Zawada Scott is an idiot troll, don’t waste time on him. Just let him wallow in mommy’s basement and his lack of a life.
Robert Zawada ohhhhhhh. Not enough caffeine
Suck it up. No one wants to wear them but the longer these eggheads cause drama the longer it’ll take for us to leave them home once and for all. Your freedom will be just fine…..
Brian Belfiore if you have a medical condition that says no mask.. they cannot refuse service or entry.
Annette Just like a service dog…legitimate medical reasons are obviously exempt. Not whiny “freedom fighters”…
Brian Belfiore does t say one way
Or the other in the article. Not
Wearing a mask if ok if he is social distancing. It’s hard to keep up with all the rules imposed in communist nJ
Annette …okay ha…
Hmmm…….do we now have an ADA violation by a company, or a defiant tresspassing issue by an attention whore, or an incident instigated by some wanna-be douche bag third party obsessed with lecturing others to satisfy their own irrational fears?
We shall see………………
Idiot has NO CHOICE. It’s wawas building. Abide by their rules. By refusing to leave it trespassing and basically being an ass. It’ll cost him. Hopefully a ton of money for being a wannabe
Scott A Barnes
Vanesa Perez any store can refuse entry if a patron is causing a disturbance and or possibly health issue. Right to refuse service applies. And is absolute. But a for effort
Scott A Barnes they cannot refuse service because of a medical condition, they can refuse for disruptive behavior but if that disruptive behavior was caused because they were trying to remove him for a medical condition they are in the wrong
Good for him for standing up for this STUPIDITY!!!!
Andy Citkowicz How is it stupidity?
Andy Citkowicz Ignorance is bliss ?? Better safe than sorry!
Andy Citkowicz
Andy Citkowicz wearing a mask isn’t taking away your freedom !!!!
WAWA owns the building and the property. If they require you to wear a mask then do it.
Here’s an example: if say someone comes to your house to visit and your rule is To enter you house you have to remove your shoes and they refuse and they don’t. Do you still let them in ??
Are you taking their freedom of wearing shoes away ??
HERES ONE FOR YA !!!
Nobody is taking away your freedom and if you want to loose it. JUST LET THIS CIVIL UNREST SHIT KEEP GOING ( violent protests / looting/ taking over city blocks / and killing of innocent people MURDER ) just a few examples.
KEEP IT UP WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DECLARES MARTIAL LAW
THATS WHEN WE LOOSE OUR FREEDOM!!!!!!
Sandi Joy so grown-up. Prob same thing he did as a kid when he didn’t like what was being said! Put a damn mask on and save someone from your bad breath and germs ????????????
Andy, Wawa is a private business. Not “the government” as you stated. On private property, a business owner makes the rules. As a customer you can take your business elsewhere if you don’t like it. If you refuse to leave private property that is trespassing. Pretty simple.
Andy Citkowicz ????????♂️
Dave Page
Vanesa Perez right. If the person has a medical condition
Still going on over there or they police wrap that up?
What is the big deal???If everyone else inside of the wawa is wearing a mask, then they are safe!! What difference does it make if he is or isn’t wearing one, if their masks work!!
The big deal is that it’s Wa Wa’s property and if they say you need to wear a mask to get in then you either wear one or go somewhere else and give it a try. It’s as simple as that.
Ken Rumney so it’s about Wawa’s control over their clientele.
no, it’s about this idiot not spreading his germs around a store unchecked. who knows what he has if anything. rather not have someone shitting the place up while everyone else is taking the necessary precautions
Ridiculous
Ken Rumney
Dale Smith Yup. Their property, their rules.
Vanesa Perez The only thing mentioned there is being exempt from the “wear a mask rules” because of a medical condition. Everybody else wears one that’s the rule.
Ken Rumney they can’t restrict you against your own health reasons… so it is strictly about control!
Dale Smith the big deal is when uneducated idiots have ideas like this they are completely inconsiderate and ignorant. Everyone around them wearing the mask is protecting others from their own germs. If someone doesn’t wear a mask you get their germ. Why is this so hard for people to comprehend?!
It bothers me more that people use the rest room at WaWa and not all people wash their hands before leaving the rest room.
Wawa policy is not to tell anyone to leave a store for not wearing a mask if they say it’s a medical concern.
David Quinones bingo! People need to know their rights and what the executive order says. Technically, any business can refuse you service for not wearing a mask. Once you say it’s for a medical reasoning they let you in because they’re afraid of the bad PR. I know this because I do it whenever I’m asked to wear one. One owner was pissed but didn’t say a word. They can’t ask what your condition is either. If they still refuse you service, you make a big stink and ask to speak with the top boss etc.
Jersey Mike HM one of my best friends is a manager.
David Quinones I’m friends with managers too and they all say the same thing. My wife and I also went to Texas Roadhouse and happen to strike a conversation with the general manager as she checked on us. She said the said the same thing. She also couldn’t understand the point when you’re taking it off to eat.
Jersey Mike HM what’s your medical condition?
No shirt, no shoes, no mask no service. Whats so hard to understand?
Marie Loesch not true. If you simply say “medical reason” they will let you in as most places are instructed by the top bosses to do that. They don’t want bad publicity for refusing service to someone who has a medical condition they can’t help. I know this because I had it happen to me about 4 times already.
Jersey Mike HM I have absolutely no respect for anyone who will lie about a medical condition. I won’t be surprised at all if the state shuts down again because people refuse to use common sense .
Jersey Mike HM so what you’re saying is, people should abuse a request that is meant for people who actually have a medical reason? I’ll be honest with you, we’ve had two people do that at my place and I’ve seen one person pull that bullshit at Walmart. But the kicker is, the one at my work and the one at Walmart lit up cigarettes as they pulled away. The other person at my work, didn’t mention a medical reason until after his “freedom” argument got him no where with the police.
Eric Matthews anyone who truly can’t wear a mask because of a medical condition should not be up and about. People just insist on being assholes.
Jersey Mike HM the number of people who can’t actually wear a mask for medical reasons, is very, very low. So odds are, the vast majority who are saying that, are lying. So as a betting man, I’d take my chances with the eye test and if I sense bullshit, I’ll keep them out too. Odds are, they are full of shit and my business goes about their day. ????????♂️
Marie Loesch or the should be wearing an actual oxygen mask.
Eric Matthews ummm no I didn’t say those words. I simply stated what the EO states and what I say if I’m asked to wear a mask. I’m also not a loud mouth jerk either. I’m polite and courteous when asked to wear one. Quite honestly, it doesn’t happen that often. You also shouldn’t assume people’s medical conditions especially if you’re a democrat. If you are you should be trained to not assume one’s identity or sexual orientation. I believe the list goes on. I identify as someone with a medical condition. See how that works? ????????????
Jersey Mike HM unfortunately assuming a medical condition is something that can be proven through records. If you can’t prove you can’t wear one, your shit out of luck. Period. Since the number of people who would actually be cleared to not wear a mask is extremely low, if I see a person crying about wearing a mask and they don’t pass the eye test of being someone who needs it, I’ll take my chances and kick them out.
As for sexual identity, that’s a social issue and completely different than being an asshole willing to jeopardize others health, because they feel “oppressed”. So that is not how it works at all.
Marie Loesch ignorant
Marie Loesch and people who are worried about catching the RONA should stay home. Anyone who is afraid of a virus that you have about. 98.5% survival rate should stay home. Anyone who is high risk really should stay home. You don’t know people’s medical conditions to question what is what. Guess what? You can’t ask either due to HIPPA laws.
Deborah Kennedy Kadlac the truly ignorant resort to name calling instead of a rational conversation.
Eric Matthews how would you know that number since the EO is extremely vague? You don’t know that number. Maybe some people don’t want to breathe in their own carbon dioxide. Maybe people have trouble breathing etc. The list goes son and on.
Jersey Mike HM my point is, people are assholes for abusing a clause that is meant for people with an ACTUAL health condition, because of ignorance. I’m not reaching when I say the person in this case is probably some dumb fucking redneck who barely passed middle school, and now thinks he knows better than medical professionals who spent years studying viruses and such. Ignorance has been a bigger virus than the virus itself.
Jersey Mike HM as i said , don’t be surprised if nj shuts down again
Marie Loesch that’s not very nice to assume people are lying. I have a medical condition that prevents me from wearing one. I’m actually doing something about that condition. I guess you assume the worst in people. What if someone truly believes that wearing a mask is unhealthy to them due to breathing their own carbon dioxide in?
Jersey Mike HM that list is actually very short. And if people don’t like breathing in carbon dioxide, then they better sit down when someone explains global warming to them. ????????♂️
Marie Loesch I’m not worried. I don’t live in NJ anymore. I do miss home. My life during this fear mongering time hasn’t really changed. One thing did change is I got to spend many many months with my awesome 4 year old daughter and wife. I don’t like crowds and I shop online anyway.
Eric Matthews yeah just giving some hypotheticals. I also find it crazy how many times the “experts” flip flopped on the whole mask thing. Makes one think ????
Jersey Mike HM the mask isn’t meant as a full deterrent. But the studies have shown they lower the risk of spread. Anything that will help lower the numbers and get this shit under control, I am for. Believe me, I fucking hate wearing a mask all day. But I hate the karen’s and Jim Bobs of the world crying about wearing one, even more.
Eric Matthews you’re misinformed my friend. You don’t need to prove anything. Read the EO. Here I did the research: “Where an individual declines to wear a face covering on store premises due to a medical condition that inhibits such usage, neither the essential retail business nor its staff shall require the individual to produce medical documentation verifying the stated condition.
There is also some legal precedent for refusing to wear a mask with the Americans for Disabilities Act, which protects consumers. Here’s an excerpt from a legal analysis:
Businesses are not allowed to inquire as to the nature of the person’s disability…
…With regard to masks, generally the ADA prohibits places of public accommodation having restrictions that would limit access to an individual with a disability. However, the ADA does allow restrictions when an individual would pose a direct threat to the health or safety of others.

Eric Matthews well I don’t hate anyone. Quite frankly, the workers at my local super Walmart are fed up with wearing them too as I see them hanging from their chin.
I also don’t go close to people and I don’t like crowds. I ride my bike for exercise and to boast my immune system. I’ve been working hard on my cardio to drop weight and be able to fight off any type of virus.
Eric Matthews I don’t cry at all. I take my daughter for a walk in her stroller and we stop at Walmart or Walgreens for her to pick out a toy. I’ve only been asked once at Walmart to wear a mask by what appeared to be a teenager (not wearing his mask properly) lounging out in a chair trying to be Mr. Powerful by saying “put your mask on”. I calmly and politely said, “no, medical reason” and walked on by with a smile and have a nice e day. He said oh and that was it.
Jersey Mike HM I am fully aware that they can’t, SAY ASK A PERSON WHAT THEIR MEDICAL CONDITION IS, if they actually have one. But it’s perfectly fine if said person doesn’t actually have a medical condition. ????????♂️
Just out of curiosity, what is your medical condition?
Eric Matthews Someone else’s medical condition is absolutely none of your business.
What’s the prob with putting on a mask for a minute or two? Are these ppl seriously looking for their 15 minutes of fame by causing a commotion and having the PD called on them?
Just show him this ???????????? https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-wears-face-mask-in-public-first-time-coronavirus
Kelly Reid Van Duyne it’s an n95 and he is a hospital wasn’t he ?
Mackenzie Jason Matthew Stewart Don’t believe it’s an N95 mask since it’s black, but I do believe it may help break the political stigma on wearing one.
Are you “required” to wear a mask in Wawa ?
Brian Leach its the stores policy like no shirt no shoes no service
Wawa would be the only place on the planet that I’d wear a mask for if they really insisted even after I tell them I can’t wear one for medical reasons.
Your all cry babys
Asshole
People are so ridiculous! Entitled cry babies.
an eo may not be law but businesses have every right to kick people out and refuse service
Liv Krier
Vanesa Perez no❤️
Liv Krier yes
Vanesa Perez no❤️
Liv Krier ok ???????? be ignorant.
Vanesa Perez no❤️
Liv Krier
Vanesa Perez no❤️
The governor demands we follow his “laws” on masks. What are his next demands? We’re required to rat out our neighbors for any minor infraction? Where does it stop? When will the Brownshirts start showing up?
I go to wawa everyday and I see employees not wearing their masks properly ????????♂️
Sal Ferrara Call Wawa and tell them then
how long are you in Wawa for? 10 minutes. wear the mask for 10 minutes and the people will rejoice. lol
Joyce DiSorco right?!!? It’s not that freaking hard!!!
Just wear the mask and stop all of this bulls**t about “nobody is going to tell me what to do” or “my constitutional rights are being denied” or some other asinine reason.
Ken Rumney agree
So stupid let the guy go in and take care of his business. The Drama starts when they even question the person for not wearing a mask. Ignore the person and he is in and out…. TO MANY KARENS IN THIS WORLD..
he has the right not to wear a mask and Wawa has the right to not let him in. you cant have it both ways. how about he wear the mask take care of his business and still get in and out.
Craig Saltarelli “too”
Door dash… a friend… ask an employee to get you something and bring it out.. just a stupid person being selfish
Sheli Helm Disher KAREN CORRECTS
Craig Saltarelli so why don’t these people blink when a store stays , no shirt , no shoes no service. He has a right to now wear one. The store has a right to refuse him
Elle Mar. Lol only idiots make scenes about not wearing a mask for 5 minutes and its made clear when they spell 3 letter words incorrectly. It’s hilarious. One of the first posts on his page is to people who are wearing masks.. he says your idiots. However it’s you’re not your… again proving the point that maybe I’d rather follow advice of someone with a medical degree.. instead of someone who doesn’t know how to spell basic English!
Caitlin Farley
Sounds like someone needs Attention.
Esther Colando yeah the people who live in fear and expect everyone else to also!
The business has every right to require a mask. Just like they have required shirts and shoes for a million years and nobody cried. If you don’t want to wear it, dont go there. Your choice. You always have a choice. But you are not entitled to tell them how to run their own business.
Idiots! Just wear the damn mask! Smh.
Arrest him!

For all you mask wearers (especially those of you who think wearing it outside is NOT stupid ????????♀️). I know I’m about to burst your “google doctor degree” bubble, but here goes nothing.
So Masks?
I am OSHA certified. I know some of you are too. I don’t really know WHY OSHA hasn’t come forward and stopped the nonsense BUT I want to cover 3 things
• N95 masks and masks with exhale ports
• surgical masks
• filter or cloth masks
Okay, so upon further inspection, OSHA says some masks are okay and not okay in certain situations.
If you’re working with fumes and aerosol chemicals and you give your employees the wrong masks and they get sick, you can be sued.
• N95 masks: are designed for CONTAMINATED environments. That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breath straight out without filtration. They don’t filter the air on the way out. They don’t need to.
Conclusion: if you’re in Target and the guy with Covid has a N95 mask, his covid breath is unfiltered being exhaled into Target (because it was designed for already contaminated environments, it’s not filtering your air on the way out).
• Surgical Mask: these masks were designed and approved for STERILE environments. The amount of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are CLOGGING these masks very, VERY quickly. The moisture from your breath combined with the clogged mask will render it “useless” IF you come in contact with Covid and your mask traps it, YOU become a walking virus dispenser. Everytime you put your mask on you are breathing the germs from EVERYWHERE you went. They should be changed or thrown out every “20-30 minutes in a non sterile environment.”
• Cloth masks: I can’t even believe I’m having to explain this, but here it goes. Today, three people pointed to their masks as they walked by me entering Lowe’s. They said “ya gotta wear your mask BRO” I said very clearly “those masks don’t work bro, in fact they MAKE you sicker” they “pshh’d” me. By now hopefully you all know CLOTH masks do not filter anything. You mean the American flag one my aunt made? Yes. The one with sunflowers that looks so cute? Yes. The bandanna, the cut up t-shirt, the scarf ALL of them offer NO FILTERING whatsoever. As you exhale, you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually risks your health, rather than protect it. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew ridden over night. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask.
-Ultimate Answer:
*N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person.
*The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. It’s filtration works on the exhale, (Like a vacuum bag, it only works one way) but likely stops after 20 minutes, rendering it useless outside of a STERILE ENVIRONMENT (correct Becky, they don’t work in a bar, not even a little bit).
*Cloth masks are WORSE than none. It’s equivalent to using a chain link fence to stop mosquitos.
The CDC wants us to keep wearing masks. The masks don’t work. They’re being used to provide false comfort and push forward a specific agenda. For the love of God, research each mask’s designed use and purpose, I bet you will find NONE are used in the way of “viral defense.”
Just like EVERY Flu season kids, wash your hands. Sanitize your hands. Don’t touch stuff. Sanitize your phone. Don’t touch people. And keep your distance. Why? Because your breath stinks, your deodorant is failing, your shoes are old and stink, that shirts not clean, & I like my space. Trust me I can hear you from here. Lots of reasons to keep your distance and work on body hygiene. But trust me, the masks do not work.
*Occupational Safety & Hazard Association sited.
The top American organization for safety.
They regulate and educate asbestos workers, surgical rooms, you name it.
I know, facts suck. They throw a wrench into the perfectly (seeming) packaged pill you are willingly swallowing. Facts make you have to form your OWN OPINION, instead of regurgitating someone else’s, and I know how uncomfortable that makes a lot of you. If your mask gives you security, by all means wear it. Just know it is a false sense of security and you shouldn’t shame anyone into partaking in such “conspiracies.”
If select politicians stopped enforcing it, no one would continue this nonsense. Don’t drink the kool-aid.
Ya this is pretty spot on….
HOW DID THEY CONVINCE THE US TO:
▪️social distance
▪️mask up
▪️have no funerals
▪️forcibly home-school while still taxing us for public education
▪️stay in our homes
▪️stop going to church
▪️forfeit incomes and personal businesses
▪️turn on our friends and neighbors with a phone number
▪️hug our grandparents through plastic
▪️thoroughly have us on the verge of civil war with each other.
ALL TO TURN AROUND AND TELL US THAT MOST OF IT IS NIXED AND COMPLETELY NEGATED, IF WE WANT TO:
▪️protest
▪️riot
▪️kill even more people
▪️loot businesses (many already on the brink of bankruptcy)
▪️deface national monuments
▪️destroy our cities
▪️de-fund & disband our police
▪️set everything on fire
…and all the while, we’re allegedly at tremendous risk of an oh-so-deadly virus that can be diagnosed without official testing, or with so-called testing being counted & reported dishonestly, and reported on death certificates even if we die by falling off a cliff…
…and even though it’s super “dangerous”, the things that actually keep us healthy, like:
▪️health food stores
▪️farmers markets
▪️garden nurseries/seeds
▪️gyms
▪️health facilities
▪️chiropractic centers
▪️naturopathic health centers
▪️outdoor activities and parks
are taken away. But:
▪️cigarettes/alcohol
▪️fast food joints
▪️Walmart
▪️abortion centers
were deemed “essential”…
And now our children are being forced to go back to schools that will feel like the prison result of a war zone, with a (guaranteed, just wait for it) mandated, un(properly) tested vaccine pushed by yours-truly, BILLionaire Gates – that’s already shown severe reactions in so-called “testers”.
How did America, Home of the Free become a fascist, communist regime – destroying lives and creating dependence so quickly?
Global totalitarianism over a so-called virus that’s becoming more & more questionable to more & more people.
WHAT WORLD ARE WE LIVING IN, AND HOW COME SO MANY ARE COMPLYING?
