[QUOTE="Chains of Peter, post: 1376852, member: 18261"] After action report: After being denied entry by the "guards" (seriously, don't patronize stores who have doormen who AREN'T security) we requested the store manager. We handed him the Notice to Businesses that stated that a.) the VirusRules are against the law and civil rights and b.) "store policy" does not absolve these violations. After the manager's obstinate refusal, we served him an Notice of Discrimination Affidavit. While we were able to get his name, we were unable to get him to sign them (but each of us took a photo of our completed Notices for our own records). The girl leading this group was discussing making a citizen's arrest, but since I sensed her ambivalence to do so, I recommended against it. [B]LESSONS LEARNED[/B]: If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. This event was posted two days before we did it, and in the intervening time, we did not have a pre-meet to research, establish roles, actions, next steps, and so on. I felt a bit embarrassed for myself because I was the only adult male, but didn't take charge. I think this outing was beneficial nonetheless because it taught us ways that this protest could eff up. [B]Silver lining[/B]?: We "practiced" by serving a Notice to Businesses to the auto mechanic shop next door. Even though there was a group of us, bunched up, maskless, we were not forbidden entry by anyone and the manager gave us time of day. Really, it's the obstinate stores that have "guards" that should be avoided. [/QUOTE]
