Bruce Willis was reportedly asked to leave a Rite Aid in Los Angeles for refusing to wear a mask.
Unnamed sources who spoke to Page Six say the action star drew the ire of his fellow customers for walking around maskless in the pharmacy. Willis eventually left without buying anything. A photograph from the scene shows that the actor had a bandana around his neck that he didn't pull up, for whatever reason.

The anger of Willis' fellow Angelenos is understandable. The city is a coronavirus hotspot, where the pandemic has done considerable damage. More than 10,000 people have died from COVID-19 in Los Angeles County alone.
Page Six reached out to Willis' rep for comment, but to no avail.
As you might have guessed, the story spread beyond the Rite Aid and it was the internet's turn to be mad.

Turns out Alan Rickman was the hero and Bruce Willis was the villain. Miss you, Alan. You're a dick, Bruce. https://t.co/iy6flKH8JY

surely the negative press can’t have been worth just pulling the bandana over his nose for a minute???? https://t.co/RApll4nRBD

I sent this news to my son, who texted back, "Well, he is unbreakable." My son's bar mitzvah isn't till next week, but I think I'm gonna call it early: Today he is a man. https://t.co/gkoQynlhVE

The biggest badass in this story is whichever Rite-Aid employee told Bruce Willis to fuck off. https://t.co/zGZfCk53CE
