WOMAN KICKED OUT OF BINGO HALL FOR NOT WEARING MASK ON HER NECK BREATHING HOLE

A Whitby, Ontario, woman battling lung cancer, who breathes through a hole in her neck, was kicked out of her local bingo hall because she did not have a mask over her breathing hole. Elaine Arbeau doesn’t go out much anymore, but the 67-year-old was excited to see her friends again when the local bingo hall reopened following the COVID-19 shutdown. But when she got inside, management asked her to cover up the hole on her neck. She explained that was impossible to do because that’s how she breathes. Arbeau was embarrassed and didn’t want to create a scene so she voluntarily left, and when she got to the parking lot she started crying. She went home and did some research on the rules around mandatory masks and felt she was treated wrongly. She decided to go back to the bingo hall this past Saturday to try and enter again but didn’t make it past the front door before being stopped again. Arbeau feels strongly that she is being discriminated against.
* Maybe she just likes showing it off.
* How mean were the bingo hall people? When she started to argue, they told her “Shut your pie hole!”
* She needs this aggravation like she needs a hole in the head.
* Anyway, that’s the whole story.
