Goodness Me! has made a company- wide policy not allowing medical exemptions for face coverings in store. This goes against any bylaw or our provincial law, which both carry medical exemptions. They did this because of people complaining that they were allowing customers without masks. We have to show them what they did was wrong, and as a health food store should do better.

Since I am exempt and t=rying to eat better, your policy makes this impossibl3e. My dollars will be spent elsewhere until you change your draconian policy.

How ironic that you stand with the Bylaw, yet choose to negate the exemptions stated in the Bylaw wherein you selective chose what parts fits your needs. This is outright ableism and highly dispecable of your organization for human rights and democracy!

I spend about $400 a month in the store in Burlington and if they want to take away my right to a medical mask exemption, then I will not be spending my money there.

I had started shopping at your stores again because I felt safe to with my exemption. Now you have swung way the other way. Once again, Goodness Me has veered away from their originating principles and standards.

Refusing entry to anyone with a disability is unlawful! Human rights laws apply to all businesses.

Please do not discriminate against your most vulnerable customers who cannot wear masks due to conditions. Distancing in the store is more than enough to ensure no transmission. Masks are only intended for places where distancing is not possible. Goodness me stores are large enough and never that packed. Please apply common sense and follow the laws as set out with exemptions at both provincial and municipal level.

Good news! Goodness Me has 'clarified' their stand and said that they are more than happy to accept exemptions!!
