A video of a man yelling angrily about mask requirements at a Tucson-area Sprouts has collected millions of views a day after it was first posted online.
, in which the man directs obscenities and insults at employees and patrons for wearing masks, had more than 4 million views by Tuesday afternoon.
The man is one of a group of four people just inside the entrance of the store near West River and West Orange Grove roads who were not wearing masks. At the end of the rant, the man is carried 鈥 still yelling 鈥 out of the store by a companion.
"Following company guidelines, Sprouts management did not physically engage with the individuals, but instead notified local police of the disruption before the individuals exited the store," an email from Sprouts says.
