The father of a woman with special needs is outraged after an employee at an Illinois Target threatened to call police because his daughter wasn't wearing a mask.
The employee approached Pratt and told him she had to put her mask back on. Pratt responded that she had sensory issues, and was likely medically exempt from having to wear a mask.. But the ruling stipulates that those who are unable to"medically tolerate a face-covering" are exempt.Pratt told NBC ChicagoPratt left his purchases behind and left the store with his daughter, which he said was a shame because"she loves Target ... she just likes to walk around the store.
"You can’t do this to people with special needs," Pratt said."If they’re going to enforce the law, they need to read it, they need to be trained."A statement from Target said the company wants"everyone to have a positive experience at Target and apologize for the experience this guest and his daughter had in our store."
"We appreciate the role our frontline team members are playing in this quickly evolving environment, and have taken this opportunity to reinforce the specific details of the Executive Order and local guidance, including exceptions for anyone who has a disability that prevents wearing a mask," the statement said."We have also reached out to the guest with an interest to connect directly about their experience.
