2. Between the stereotyping "a Karen" and the feeling (maybe only imagined by me? I hope so) that someone is a little gleeful over the woman getting death threats, this seems like a really horrible story.
Karen - err, Amber - was claiming she was exempt from the mask requirement thanks to the first amendment, something she clearly did not understand. She then proceeded to try to sue Gutierrez for half of the proceeds for the GoFundMe campaign citing that it’s her involvement that caused his windfall. So... maybe she could benefit from learning that actions have consequences.

She was also quoted as saying she has a medical exemption, but has not offered any proof that is true. Even if true, companies could still refuse her service as being Karen with a doctor's note is not a "protected class".:-)

yeah there is a flagrant lie going around social media that you can claim to have a medical exemption and then if asked for proof, refuse because they're not allowed to ask because HIPPA
which is just a total lie, HIPPA defines processes and procedures that health care related businesses/agencies have to follow with respect to customer/client data, it in no way keeps regular Joe X from asking you whatever the frick he wants
I think it would be something like requiring people with a support animal from disclosing the reason why they needed the support animal. The ADA website [ada.gov] has the following to say about service animals.
Q7. What questions can a covered entity's employees ask to determine if a dog is a service animal?
A. In situations where it is not obvious that the dog is a service animal, staff may ask only two specific questions: (1) is the dog a service animal required because of a disability? and (2) what work or task has
