Thanks Officeworks & Supercheap

Click and collect for a few hundred dollar phone,

Easy right? But that answer is no.

Not when you’re exempt from wearing a mask,

The staff there give you a cold shoulder,

For ID they didn’t even ask to prove I was me.

I had the exemption in the bag on my hip,

The door greeter instantly turned away and didn’t want to see,

Acting as if I was diseased.

I am a healthy person with anxiety,

And my calm down technique is to breathe.

I didn’t enjoy going to the stores before,

Thanks social anxiety…

Now with these new mask mandates and people confused about the laws that go with,

The courts can’t ask to see my exemption, needing to voluntarily show it

But that’s not SuperCheaps self-inflicted law… 

Who argued their rights with me just inside their door…

Respect is all we exempt ask,

Today was a different show, one I didn’t quite expect,

I walked to the desk and stated my name and told to stand by the door…

Grumpily handing me over my phone,

No ID, no proof, no checking on me at all.

Lucky for them I am honest is all.

How did they know I wasn’t someone else,

No photo ID, nothing did they ask.

Silently yelling “Get OUT OF OUR STORE”

We will only put up with you because its law.

I hate this scenario,

For I am not diseased and I don’t like to put on a show.

I do click and collect to minimise my time,

But the way they treated me was just not fine.

It’s rude and unjust and very unfriendly,

I am not in it for show,

I just want my shit and just let me go…..
