OmiyaHearts Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) 7 hours ago, jonesy said: Ive no problem if people want to wear masks. My wife works in a supermarket and was mocked for wearing a mask back in March. Mandatory mask wearing puts people like our wives in situations they should not be in, much like having to enforce 2m rule. I am happy to avoid going to shops and similar places until the law changes again, in line with the clear and transparent timeframe laid out by the government... Btw my wife wants to wear a mask and wants her customers to, as she feels safer at her place of work. We spend a fair amount of time in Japan, so mask wearing is not unusual for us and I think asking someone to put a mask on for 3 min while you wait for a coffee is fine. A wee bit of courtesy for the person having to put themselves at risk, so you can get your coffee. Not a lot to ask, really.

That is, unless they enjoy being told what to do. Unfortunately, novel viruses don't come with instruction manuals. Governments/Countries have had to adapt the best they can to the unique circumstances they've found themselves in. This battle with Covid is far from over and when someone with a higher intellect than myself (not difficult) offers informed guidance or instruction, I'd rather take heed rather than the huff. Allegedly In England, 78% who've tested positive for Covid were asymptomatic. Clever Covid didn't announce to these hosts that it had entered their systems. No face coverings on public transport or shops, why would they, they all felt fine. I could be a carrier, I don't know, I've not been tested...have you?

Some of the abuse my wife has had to deal with today already, serving people in Caffe Nero, it's a disgrace. Given a large majority of coffee customers are arseholes anyway, these anti-maskers are a new breed of aggressiveness. I imagine its arseholes like some of the posters above, who are giving her grief for it. Like it's the Barista or Nero who made the decision. She is however, looking forward to refusing to serve these idiots from tomorrow. Some guy said to her today 'I'll be here Monday and you better give me my coffee, mask or not'. I wan't to be there when she tells the tit to GTF. Why are ‘a large majority of coffee customers’ arseholes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Governor Tarkin Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 The face masks, seat belts, crash helmet analogy is only valid for the time being. The fear mongers will still be wearing face masks when Covid 19 is long gone. Some will still be harking on about other folk not wearing them. It's just the way some folk are wired up.

OmiyaHearts Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 To make matters worse. Nero have now decided that they are hospitality and not retail, so customers now dont have to wear a mask, despite face to face sales. My wife has taken this up with senior management at Nero but shes not expecting much, considering how they've treated staff and managed the situation. So, you have to wear a mask to buy a shirt from primark, but no mask needed to buy a coffee. Logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can she wear a mask while working, if she chooses to? She's still required to wear a mask and gloves. One rule for staff, another for the customer. Although she would have worn a mask either way, to reduce the risk. Like I say, its commenting were used to wearing and know it works. It's been a tough day. Neither of us have seen our parents since March. They have certain health issues meaning we still can't see them, as my wife is being seriously exposed. We were hoping that Nero would remain takeaway only with sensible distancing etc, so we'd feel confident about meeting the parents with less risk. It's just not worth it at the moment. Really pisses me off what government expect from retail workers, compared to how they treat them. Very disappointed in the lack of clear instructions and plans going forward. I'm not really political but probably pro ScotGov, however right now, Sturgeon can lick my sweaty sack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
