No, Costco is not playing about its mandatory face mask policy.

One Costco employee did what a lot of folks might be hesitant to do in these strange times -- putting his foot down over a face mask policy ... and kicking out a defiant customer.

Check out this video the guy shot as someone who appears to be a Costco manager recently giving him the boot when he tried walking up to the registers without a face covering. That's the new safety rule, Costco requires all shoppers and employees to wear one inside., props for keeping his cool in the face of an unruly shopper, who tried shaming him by recording and blasting him on social media.

What's crazier is what happened later ... this pissed off Costco member hopped back online when he was home -- shirtless, no less -- and continued to rail against the"system." He claimed all this new must-wear-masks business is just about control, etc.

Trump acting mofos in this country. Hopefully they’ll all be given a big kick in the nutz in November.

I am TeamTison

Got a pick ya battles

unless you're wearing a full face gas mask those mask they want you to wear do not protect you from the Corona Virus. Its even printed on the packaging that it doesn't. Granted the dude should have followed store policy

He absolutely has a right to not wear a mask, he doesn't have the right to make me I'll, should he be an asymptomatic carrier of COVID 19. My guess is he hasn't been tested.

Good!

If you are free of the virus because you self isolated, didn't put your fingers in your mouth, washed hands and social distanced then you can't give to others what you don't have.

Careful. Don’t want to upset Trump lover HarveyLevinTMZ by going against his dictator.

Just go to Sams Club 🤷‍♀️

He’s right. This is all about control...Controlling the spread of the virus. No one wants to be here but we’re respecting the new rules put in place just until this is over. Wear it when you’re among other people. Take it off when you’re not.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Guy is right.... he ain’t a sheep, sheep ain’t that big 😂

Freedom to be an idiot

Costco has signs that say they require masks before entering, at least at the one near me. They are protecting their customers and EMPLOYEES. This guy is looking for attention.

Good little nazi

Somebody give Snotty Johnny a decongestant, and a nice spoonful of COVID19. So glad he recorded and posted his immaturity.

I really hope TMZ did not pay this asshat anything for this video.

Fat boy lost his Costco card but get it right he ain't no sheep. 😅

Dude, looks like his BMI is above 40 and possibly is with a few health conditions (including psychological issues) to be out there fucking with Rona raw. He's playing Russian Roulette. Likely, he doesn't even wash his hands.

Mothef'r just shop online... or go to a place were they allow you not to wear a mask. Respect, that it's their business and rules. Mask don't 100% protect you... But worn correctly are a helpful for those with preexisting conditions to possibly avoid infection.

THANK YOU, COSTCO. costcocanada Costco

Why don’t people wear masks? It takes 5 seconds to put on & they opened up the damn gyms, malls and dine in for these ignorants 🤦🏽‍♀️

the fat man cried about his freedom... What babies!

Wear a mask...

He’s not a f’ing sheep but he’s also no getting any f’ing toilet paper. Haha

Dude, looks like his BMI is above 40 and possibly as a few health conditions (including psychological issues) to be out there fucking with Rona raw.

I will continue shopping at and supporting Costco for doing the right thing! If this guy or anyone else that don’t want to follow their mask rule can choose to shop elsewhere. covidot

Customer definitely a trumpster

Does that mean wearing a shirt and shoes also constitute as a violation of rights? Pretty sure most places would kick a person out for not wearing proper clothing. The mask is no different. You have the right to not wear it and they have the right to refuse service.

Mothef'r just shop online... or go to a place were they allow you not to wear a mask. Respect, that it's there business and rules. Mask don't 100% protect you... But worn correctly are a helpful for those with preexisting conditions to possibly avoid infection.

He was just asking for a Gallon of Clorox. For God Sake. This is America.

Assjack.

😂😂😂😂 Dope customer service right there

Bet I know who he voted for.

Adults be running around out there with oppostional defiance disorder.

Good, get that trash outta there!!!!

put the damm mask on for Christ sake

Are we supposed to believe scientists when they said ONLY N95 masks prevent the spread of viruses, or now that they say to even use an old sock in the middle of people irrationally panicking?

Ppl take this 'Free Country' mess to literal lol your not free to just do anything without repercussions.

Attention seeker.

quarantine suck

Doesn’t he know Costco and all other shopping places are private establishments that require U to were clothes in order to shop, no shoes no shirt no service. A business can require U to wear a mask to shop there and it has nothing to do with free country.

Good job!

This should be his new favorite song Privacy

The sad part is the Supreme Court ruled it was illegal to make us wearing a mask.

He def should be more scared of the ‘rona with his obvious risk factor causing the wheezing in his breathing

Good. I’m with Tison. Mr. I wear my Sun Glasses inside can F*UCK OFF

Better class of customer at Walmart...

It’s been PROVEN wearing a mask prevents the spread of COVAD 19. I wear mine for my safety and for others. Why is it so hard for some people to do that? We all want the freedom of choice but please keep in mind your obligation to the people that surround you. 🙏🏼

This customer is a selfish prick. Costco should ban this person from ever becoming a member. The “Sheep” of this world value our health and following rules is a part of life. Tison is someone to be proud of & thank you for your keeping all of us safe who shop Costco.

Love Costco hate those assholes

fallow the rules!... , what is the problem?

It is not law you have to wear a mask. If the store requires it then that is up to them...

Unfortunately that guy has become the face of people who disagree with mask wearing.. remember when lord fauci and the surgeon general both speak of the health risks for healthy people wearing masks... probably not

Everyone is wearing mask beside him lmao even his girlfriend or whoever it is that is next to him. What a idiot honestly

I love it

Trump supporters all about FREEDOM but are the ones who want to force companies to let them in without a mask. Don’t like the rules go shop somewhere else

Ummm, wait a minute... I thought that we lived in America? Land of the free? This is a lawsuit that will happen, it is against the law for grocery stores to refuse essential items to a paying customer who has not violated any laws or policies... because masks are not policy.

Awesome 👏🏽

What’s next !? RAPE , CRIME and then say , it’s a FREE COUNTRY I can do whatever I want

Good.

What a dumb ass! Especially when he says we are the sheep. Of course everyone was wearing a mask, they have to in order to shop. So I know he had a mask to go in but he just wanted to get attention so that's why he took it off. They don't let anyone in that is not wearing a mask.

This idiot claims he's not a sheep, he may not be a sheep but he sure is a donkey.

Refund his membership and kindly ask him not to come back!

He woke up in a free country but he didn’t wake up owning Costco

Yet the guy was allowed to walk all over the store. How crazy is that? He's leaving now and giving you money. Now you require a mask? stupidity

I love how he looks into the camera at Kevin Covid’s followers. “Hi everyone!” 🤣

Im sure his fat ass can find somewhere else to get his 8 pounds of pasta

Good for you, Costco!

Good job Tison. Entitled jerks can't wear a mask to stop a pandemic.

CMarcelli7117

Try to take my cart Costco bitch boi

He needs to get his membership money back since Costco has had a change in policy.

This isn’t a Partisan issue as the idiot says. I’m a Conservative and I don’t want to get sick or get someone else sick. I know someone who passed from it and he got it from his son who was still going to work. It made this all the more real and I would rather be safe than sorry.

I would kick him out for looking and talking like a douchebag

Well done!!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Free country.. except when Costco says otherwise

Ppl need to grow up

Should be banned from Costco for life. Something’s wrong with him.

Ok that's cool but we are trying to run a business.

Yay

I have 3 thousand followers

I loved every second of it! What a jerk

We need a man name for a “Karen”

He is a realDonaldTrump sheep. What a loser. Costco manager was great at handling that fool. COVIDIDIOTS

Good, don't like it? Shop elsewhere. Free country, private enterprise!

Good!

Good.

Rules are rules.

Reminder: Costco is a members-only warehouse club that can set and enforce whatever rules it wants. This idiots sense of entitlement is nauseating.

guy with sunglasses: I'm not wearing a condom because it's a free country lady friend: I'm going to ask you to leave right now because you obviously don't care about anyone but yourself. Bye now.

Good!

That employee

Many layers to that cake baking.

The Costco employee really shouldn't have to deal with idiots like that. So many things to worry about to have an additional moron, I mean....come on!

Good, everyone must wear a mask

Good! Go shop elsewhere!

Guys I went to the department store today to by a toaster over and they made me wear pants and I wouldn’t because this isn’t the America I signed up for and I know the constitution so I left with no pants and no toaster oven thanks a lot.

xyecoc69

His fatass needs a mask he at risk lol

What's the problem here Lack of news Harvey? 🤔

Ain't mad about at all. He following protocols at this time. I'm glad the Costco is being responsible and proactive with this virus. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼.

God liberals are the worst

Giving a second of fame to an idiot is shame to TMZ

The ole no shirt n shoes no service, now we add no mask lol is what it it

Another covidiot trying to play the victim

I don't even shop there and I know it's required to shop there. Go somewhere else if you don't want to wear a mask.

He needs to be banned from all Costco

What a fucking idiot🤦🏻‍♀️ good for Costco!

Hmmm it's not your stuff yet. Because you didn't pay for it so technically it's Costco's still

The POS looks like TrumpIsMorbidlyObese and believes him also...

Where's the headline about all the customers who are considerately shopping with masks on, social distancing, and going home to their families without having to have a showdown for Reddit?

MOVEprofPHD Costco has rules and sticks to them. ❤️ Thanks, KirklandJones

😂😂😂 Bye!

Costco employee who doesn't stand down to man not complying with company policy : Pussy. Man afraid of a thin piece of cloth: Patriot.

These fuckin Karens are taping this rehearsed shit for social media fame Getting sick of it First one I've seen with a beard tho

Fat bastard..

in a free country a company has the right to refuse anyone service

He could've got into Costco legally by following their laws. Do it the right way.

good. maybe imma start a membership 👀 i remember the gallons of mango juice i got there....shit was POPPING OFF

I was at my Costco yesterday and felt safer there than my allergist. Can Costco give me my injections?

COSTCO FOR THE WIN!!!!

Costco will kick out idiots for not wearing masks but won’t answer my job application? Hm. 🤔

Not a sheep, they have more brains than this idiot🤬🤬🤬

2 months ago the WHO told everybody to not wear masks because there’s no scientific evidence to show it prevents becoming infected. Now we’re all supposed to wear masks when there is apparently no evidence to show its effective ?

Pat the mask on you fat🤬 Don’t shop if you can’t respect the rules They have every right to refuse you service It’s scary asking a losers like this guy to put on a mask They could grab a gun and shoot u for asking. They need cops at everyplace in the 🇺🇸 🤯

This COVIDIOT entered wearing a mask, then took it off for this bit at the register. Cancel his membership.

I hate freedom anyway 🙄

Private property have him arrested for trespassing

There store there rules go back to Walmart🖕

Good for the employee!

If it’s a privately owned company they can make you wear underpants on your head to get in if they want...if you don’t like it don’t shop there..

Idiot

Don’t stores require clothes to be worn for hygiene reasons? What’s the difference. Everybody looking for their 15 minutes.

These are the same type of ppl who tell us to 'Just comply with the orders given and everything will be ok,' but are so fragile that they can't wear a damn mask to shop. His personal 'privilage' is more than showing in this one...

Always a white person

Haha perfect response by the Costco employee. I hope all 3000 of his followers loved it as much as I did.

I guess if this guy doesn't want to wear pants either he doesn't have to because you know... America.... freedom ...I'm sure he went there without a mask on with his phone ready to record just so he can post it and try to get likes .. congrats it worked

To be fair, some can’t wear masks due to asthma copd ptsd. Perhaps Costco could provide an alternative for those folks. Taking their temps anally for example...

This is the age group that won’t comply & more importantly are spreading it.

Feels uncool wearing a mask in Costco - Wears sunglasses.

Yup! He needs to stop going to Costco in his video rant shows he goes there too much! 😩🤣

👏 👏 👏 Go Costco employee!!! So brave! That’s how you kick out the 🐑!!! lol

Well they have a new policy and according to the rules masks must be worn so being a club store they can enforce any rules they want

That ugly bastard should have to wear a mask year round. My family doesn’t to want to have to look at that while we are crushing free samples.

Thanks Costco, another reason why I continue to give you money.

The same person that has no excuses with the company's no shirt, no shoes, no service police is now upset about no mask being added. Most likely the same person that believes business have the right to not serve someone on the owners religion beliefs, if your gay, no cake!

tmz This happened to me. Supervisor told me I had to wear mask I said medically I cannot he asked for medical records. I said sir I’ll pass out he said well I’ll walk next to you. I was going to picky up my RX’s. I called made a complaint with corporate Costco.

Tison

This Trump Trash had no problem showing his Costco id card to get in... which is also company policy.

Good

He definitely looks like he got underline conditions. Hope he inhales POS

This fat fck doesn’t realize he’s in a high risk group?

Why does this person believe he doesn’t have to follow rules? Who told him the world spins around him?

Good

👏👏👏👏🙂

F$+ING Americans. I woke up in a free country. Lol 😂 nothing is free in your country 😂. Topical American attitude. props up to buddy at Costco, he played it cool and said his peace.

If you don't wear a mask now, it's like being naked.

I mean, anyone else just crack up at this jackass NEEDING to make it known to a complete stranger that he has 3000 followers? Like that makes a difference. Is this the world we live in now? Entitlement based on perceived internet clout? Oof 🤦🏼‍♀️

Never a dull moment in the U.S.A

Why is it always the fattest, dumbest Americans always the loudest?

Follow the rules!

Good! Thanks for protecting your members, Costco

Good.

DOCTORS AND NURSES CALL IT BULLSHIT..

Fucken idiot

hey TMZ AND COSTCO THE WHO SAYS THEIR IS EVIDENCE A MASK WILL STOP ANYTHING. AND DOESN'T RECOMMEND

NAZIS TREATING AMERICANS LIKE JEWS,,FUCC TMZ

Theefonzz hell nah

Good, follow the rules like everyone else or GTFO

Good for him , he manages the store and has a right not to let anyone in who can’t obey the corona rules

This is the type who always Waba to do whatever the F and can careless 😏 everyone else trying NOT to get anyone sick and yet this Punk doesn’t care whiteprivilege punk

What a loser. He’s def high risk and acts like he’s a “sheep” for caring about public health. It’s a pathetic attention grab. Also...3k followers is the same as my 14.

What a tool

Follow the store policy or go somewhere fing else

Costco employee did the right thing, put a mask on idiot

Maybe he needs legal help. Read please

Dear stupid ass man, the definition of free doesn’t mean you get to break all the rules that other companies have enforced. That’s why this “free”country has law enforcement and jail cells..you know, cuz your free to do whatever you want😳😳 arroganance doesn’t get far

Yay for Costco! If people don’t want to follow their rules, then stay the heck out of the store. Simple as that!

Wait...What?! Isn’t the Customer always right?!

sheep's always think they not sheep's 🤣🤣

I'm sure his 'wife' with the mask on is really impressed

I bet you he has a punisher decal on his truck

Always has to be one customer a day like that unfortunately

Just wear a mask 😷 this guy is a jerk he’s a grandstander the Costco guy is only trying to do his job and do it he was asked to do in order to keep his job-Bring this grandstander to an ICU with people with Covid right now teach him something idiot

Thank you Costco ! Thank you costcotison

Wear a mask or stay home. No one cares if it looks cool or not, this isn't about looking cool. It's about saving lives. If you're on a boat and it starts to sink will you say 'I'm not putting on that life jacket, its embarrassing'.

Good!

This dude is an idiot and anyone who thinks this is cool or him being a hero is just as ignorant as he is. All you people who don’t care about getting sick go on an island and u call can get sick together and just see what happens. Don’t roll the dice with my life and come round

Shock!!! It’s yet another white person 🤦‍♂️ come on people wtf

As the employee should 👍🏼

Very Dangerous !!!

This man needs a raise.

Waiting for all the “cancelling membership” nonsense. Good job COSTCO.

Don't play about suing them take your rights and your power back from them this is america and you don't HAVE to shop there they owe you not the other way around.

Get your made in 🇺🇸 face mask right here:

Cloth masks and even N95 don’t work! It is has been medically proven by many doctors.

Just another peasent looking for validation on social media.

Good! Take it! Jerk!

If you’re gonna beat this thing you gotta go by the store rules: Plain and simple. They are trying to protect the customers.

Democrat Police State. The employee had a mask.

dude is so going to be regretting this tomorrow

Why is it always some dummy with sunglasses 😂

Follow the stores health guidelines or GTFO!

I don’t go to stores that require masks. Guess Amazon gets more of my money.

Kicked out for breaking rules good byebye

Good job Costco

Good, fuck that guy

Costco let every costumer know that you have to wear a mask inside the store so I’m pretty sure he knew about that rule..

I wonder if this happened when stores started “No shoes, no shirts, no service” signs.

Awesome. That jerk should support the workers. How selfish. He should be ashamed and turn in his Costco membership.

Fuck Costco you shouldn’t force anything on someone. What ever happened to No Shirt No Shoes No service now you making people wear mask ? 😷

Gummi Bear wonders why Big Government has to tell him/her what to do because he can’t follow a simple rule put in place by the company to protect their employees who allow him to enjoy gluttony.

Good job costco !

Too bad this doesn’t happen in Arizona. My husband was at Costco last week and a guy refused to put a mask on. They let him shop. No one said anything.

I saw toilet paper in that cart ! Where can I get that !!

Should of smacked fire out his mouth also

Stores have the right to say no shoes no shirt no mask no service. What is so hard about people listening to what a store wants. If you don’t like it then don’t go to that store. Omg

The worker was 100% RIGHT Get your ass out of the store!

Why cant ppl do something so fkn simple wear the fkn mask better safe then sorri

Take his shirt too?

There are new rules about going inside a store and whether you like it or not you have to wear a mask to keep this shit from spreading more... Thank you Have a good day

He needs to check the membership agreement he signed.

Who can save us? 👇 'But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, ☝️Jesus Christ died for us.' Trust in JESUS is our Savior and JESUS= real GOD= our Healer 💖🥰💖❤💜💖💜💖💜💜💜😍🥰😍💜😍💜💜💖🥰💖❤💜💖😀

He has no issue wearing sunglasses inside like a twat, but can’t wear a mask due to a pandemic..... The only people lamer than him, are his Instagram followers. He’s clearly the coolest kid in the short bus.

That guy would have had to TAKE my damn cart!

Outstanding

Good

Kudos to the employee kicking him out......By the looks of his photo, the customer looks like a troublemaker.

If you get to the front door, there's people & signs saying you can't enter w/o a mask so how did the customer get in & proceed to shop in the first place Someone dropped the ball over there.

Good.

Even if there is a .0001% chance that wearing a mask helps control the spread, why are people resisting it? Just put the damn mask on and be done with it. Stop asking for attention.

He's not a sheep....He's a fat mammoth.

They both are acting like little babies in my book. First off if it’s their policy just do it, but second yanking someone’s cart away that’s already about to check out and leave makes you just as much of a little man.

We need to help this employee out like we did TargetTori CostcoTison needs a vacation and deserves an apology.

Private property with terms of entering. Jog on loser

If you don’t want to wear a mask, shop online. It’s that simple.

Me:

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 take it

Oh you’re a sheep alright

Good, fuck em

Retailers never win a fight with a customer. Shame on you Costco

“Everyone else was wearing a mask there so we were all fine.” That’s nice bud... too bad everything isn’t about you. It’s store policy. Period. You knew that going in. You got what you deserved!

What’s the big deal!In San Francisco they are not even gonna let you enter the store without a mask.

I was at costco couple days ago and a family of 3 had no mask on

Free country, but a private business. Can’t the follow rules of a private company.. Gtfoh loser

You don't want to wear a mask go to Walmart, follow the rules or get out. Nothing but a cheap stunt. He already knew the rule, he'll his wife is a sheep wearing a mask.

How hard is it to wear a flipping mask

It's their right, unless it's baking a cake.

He looks inbred

This guy is such a loser! Apparently he cares more about not being a sheep than protecting lives. Control? Nah, you are just a man child who thinks he’s big and brave being defiant and the second he gets called out starts whining about his rights. I hope you bring COVID home 😷

Businesses have long had the right to refuse entry or service to customers. Why did he bother putting a shirt on to go shop there I wonder? He lives in a free country. He can freely go shop somewhere else. No ones stopping you.

All these Trumpflakes want to go back into the world but when You allow them to they start a new fight.

He is in trouble did you see the look on his wife’s face? And the backtracking “Oh ok I’ll put the mask on” Too late - Game Over.

I may not believe the masks really help, but I do believe you must follow store rules.

Follow the rules or stay the fuck home.

Is this employee same person that fought over toilet paper at an store the other day :)

I'm with the customer! I'm tired of everything in our lives being under control! I don't wear a mask neither! I'm too claustrophobic to be wearing it!

Redneck beard.

I hate the virus and the lockdown. But just put a F mask on if you go in a store.

The masks everyone should be wearing in public are to prevent you from spreading germs to everyone you come in contact with. So thanks for being that A-hole that doesn't care about anyone but himself! Hope you're surrounded by like-minded people.

Good

Costco has every right to have requirements for entering their place of business. No different than 'no shoes, no shirt, no service.'

Good for the employee

Good! That's what he gets!

Fuck him, Wear a mask or get out

How entitled do you have to be to think that store rules don't apply to you.

Customer is a pendejo!!

Good? I mean, why is this a story? Follow the guidelines or get oofed

Fkn loser

So you wear a mask particles can still get out and your eyes are exposed and by the way your touching things putting it back without gloves like most employees I see how is that going to protect u again?

Follow the rules 🤷🏻‍♂️

Good

darwin should do his job

Masks are silly but if that's what they require ppl have to abide by that or don't shop there

That’s their rule.

Good. Follow the God damn rules or go shop Walmart

Good

In before people with American flags in their names/bios sloppily reply with objectively wrong opinions
