This is usually the best charity shop in Taunton.
However visited the shop today with my mother who is exempt from wearing a mask.
After explaining she cannot wear one due to health issues the shop lady asked to see proof. This is not acceptable , people who are exempt are already anxious and aware of people glaring at them because they are not wearing a mask .My elderly mother had to stand in the shop entrance in front of other customers while she looked for her exempt card - the shop lady then said most people have a badge or keep it in their pockets! (This is the only shop since masks have been made mandatory that have asked to actually see proof!)
Most people are sensible regarding covid and are aware how to stay safe. Thanks Age UK for upsetting an elderly person who was already anxious in the first place.

I went into this charity shop recently and was horrified to see a member of staff on the shop floor not wearing a mask and talking to customers close up. This is how Covid19 is spread and with a new more transmissible variant out there, the pandemic is far from over. Staff unable to wear masks can wear visors and stay behind the till away from customers.
