By now you've probably heard about the "WALL OF SHAME" group in Frederick, or "Comfort Zone" group in Allegany County. The Frederick group is the most vile, as they're taking photos of complete strangers for not wearing a mask in public or just for accidentally wearing their mask incorrectly.
No one should be subject to this sort of harassment. As such, we're going to start listing which stores have been used to harass customers, and provide their contact information. We'd like to encourage our readers to call these stores and encourage them to post clearly visible signage that photography of other customers is strictly prohibited. Customers shouldn't need to worry about if their mask accidentally slips, someone might take a picture of them and put it on the Internet. This does not create a safe environment for customers.
We debated posting the names of those who are posting these vile hateful images, but decided a better course of action would be to encourage people to call these businesses and ask for signage to discourage such behavior.
With that said, on with the list!

Typically our posts are satire, but this post is very much NOT SATIRE.
