Actor Ricky Schroder Lashes Out at Costco Worker Enforcing Face Mask Policy in California

Child actor Ricky Schroder lashed out at a Costco employee who did not allow him to enter a California store for not wearing a mask.

The actor posted a video in his Facebook account showing him berating a Costco employee who did not allow him to enter the store.

The said video was posted on Saturday, and it prompted different reactions from people online. It came days after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a new face mask guideline concerning fully vaccinated people.

The CDC said fully vaccinated people can attend indoor and outdoor activities without wearing a face mask and maintain at least six feet of physical distancing.

However, there are still instances fully vaccinated people will have to wear their face masks, like when a state, workplace, or business requires it.

The agency also underscored that fully vaccinated people should still wear their face masks on airplanes, trains, buses, and other public transportations.

Ricky Schroder Berated Costco Worker

The video posted by the actor himself showed that a Costco Costco supervisor named Jason was trying to inform the actor that their company is always adhering to local rules regarding pandemic restrictions.

"Costco goes above and beyond when following the law, and the mandate in California has not changed," the Costco worker explained to Ricky Schroder.

New York Daily News cited a statement from Costco, saying that they will allow customers to enter their stores without a mask in locations where the state or the local jurisdiction does not have a mask mandate.

The store said they "will not require proof of vaccination" and asked for members to adhere and cooperate with the revised policy responsibly.

The worker Costco worker also tried to explain to the actor that the state of California may change its mask guidelines by mid-June. However, Ricky Schroder abruptly cut him.

"The people in power. You're going to listen to these people," the actor said as he interrupts the worker from what he was saying. He added that the people in power destroyed the economy and the culture.

The video also showed that Ricky Schroder encouraged Californians to cancel their membership in the store. The Costco worker argued that the mask mandate they are enforcing has not changed in "any building in California," adding that their store was simply abiding local laws.

The actor's recording ended with the store manager handing the actor a receipt for a canceled membership.

Ricky Schroder Apologizes after the Costco Incident

Following the backlash he has received from his post, the actor issued an apology video, which he also posted on his Facebook account on Sunday.

Ricky Schroder said "nothing personal," addressing it to Costco worker Jason.

"I'm not upset with you or anyone in a position like you have and work for a living," the actor noted. Ricky Schroder said that he understood that the worker is just following the laws and rules and apologized if he hurt the worker's feelings.

He added that he was trying to make a point to "corporate overlords."
