Complaint Review: Epic Theather Titusville Florida - Titusville Florida

On the Saturday evening of November 21, 2020, my wife and I decided to visit “Epic” theatre in Titusville, Florida. As we walked inside to an empty lobby, we could see local teenage possibly early twenty year old employees sitting at a table together but trying to quickly put on their masks.

As we looked through the options on their computer ticket service, one of these employees accosted us and demanded that we “wear a mask”, in an aggressive tone. I tried to explain to this employee that I had a medical limitation and I could not wear his mask.

The employee responded rudely and aggressively in a southern hick voice as he pointed out the door “ HEAD ON OUT”.

We could see that his management must have emboldened him to present such an unprofessional and ignorant face to potential customers.

It is not a requirement that from the State of Florida’s Governor ( Desantis) that the public wear masks, nor is it a mandate in Brevard county.

This theater management is trying to impose these mask requirements regardless of any medical limitations, even though they were not personally wearing them either when we came in. Nor were they “socially distancing” from each other.

Somehow this institution has come to believe that they have the right to make up their own laws like a independent Sovereign nation. No!  They are sadly mistaken and ignorant.

Imagine if a business were to say “ You can pick pocket in here” or “beat people up” in here since this is a private business. NO !  The reality is that they are subject to the laws of the land, not their own laws.

No private business offering service to the public ( public accommodation) has the authority to deny entry or service based on your disability.  In addition, they do not have the authority to violate our civil rights.

This hpocrisy  and ignorance by Epic Theater employees does not suspend our civil rights or the constitution.

All the big box stores ( Sams Club, Walmart, Public) have been legally challenged by formal notice and in court on these issues and have since relaxed this experimental imposition of masks. This is why today when you go in, masks are not demanded as a prerequisite for entry.

Even a modest research effort can demonstrate that these masks do not protect you from a virus ( 20 nanometers)  that easily passes through these cloth coverings.

The fact that the owners and management of “Epic” Theaters are willing to make such demands on the public in abject ignorance of the law and science speaks volumes about them. Sending out a rude and aggressive hick to chase away customers should alert everyone to seek other entertainment options.

I will never be back to visit this theater in the future.  No doubt others have had similar experiences. If they go out of business permanently, it will have happened by their their own hand.

Stand up America ! Vote with you feet !  We do not need to accept this type of abuse.
