My Mum is one of over 10,000 people in care homes who’ve only had 1 jab. And we’re about to unleash a 4th wave. It could kill her. So that’s actual bollocks. I mean if you want to be a selfish cunt that’s fine but own it.They’ve all had their jabs

Exactly. Lots of these workers are barely earning a liveable wage and shouldn't have to put up with some cretin giving them hassle or grief. This is why I can't blame some of them for not wanting to confront someone (especially in shops or hospitality and the like). Because, in all honesty, if I was in their position, I would probably do the same.

I'm in the opposite position in that I'd be happy to confront the bellends and have a few choice words, but apparently that's not good customer service.

Combination of being very ill and the hospital she was in on and off for 6 months not giving vaccines. A sizeable NHS hospital. It’s a proper under the radar scandal brewing which I’ve written to her MP about. She got her 1st dose within a week of going into residential care. I am fucking terrified about picking it up and passing it on to her.

I hope very much that the tweeter got in touch with Waitrose, as well as tagging them. That's awful

I'm terrified about not wearing a mask anymore. I have got so used to mouthing obscenities at people, I just know I'm going to get caught out when the pandemic is over.

aye, but i find it hard not to say owt. My default reaction to rudeness is to be rude back and it gets me telt
the last time was when i tried to help out a customer in a queue who just wanted to pick up some documents. I went to get them so he didn’t have to queue and when i came back he was slagging off my colleague for ‘telling me what to do’, so my reflex reaction was to hold back giving him his documents. i didn’t want to give them to him if he was being rude and aggressive to my colleagues. but then he kicked off at me and management got involved and i got a carpeting. i hate having to be polite to bellends and privately never will.

I see that the hospitality industry is struggling to fill vacancies.
I get that some of their staff in before times were people from foreign lands who have gone home because Brexit. Or are people who are now not be available because they've retrained in cyber (
) but I also imagine a lot of people who might previously have worked in bars and restaurants would rather not be faced with arsey drunk people shouting the odds about masks and social distancing and calling other people sheeple for minimum wage.

We quit! The Great Resignation era has begun – at a boiling hot branch of Burger King
A mass walkout at the fast food outlet in Nebraska reflects a broad social shift. Since the pandemic, employees have been quitting or switching jobs in droves
I have friend and family all over Leeds, but I live in Armley, so Armley was the easiest and most pertinent example for me personally.
All over Leeds, ime, have given up on masks, and nobody is challemging them.
In my opinion/experience the majority of people are past it now... and I quote one “30 plus normal looking bloke” on the bus the other day(i had my mask on for the record) “I don’t know why you’re wearing that, it’s a loads bollocks”
nope, and you’ll probably ended up on Facebook, then YouTube, and then in the Sun because of smart phone cameras.I'm in the opposite position in that I'd be happy to confront the bellends and have a few choice words, but apparently that's not good customer service.

Yeah but context. I read their twitter.
The driver 'shouted' at them because they were at an upstairs window. So shouted to them more like. They have also admitted (this is in later tweets) the driver did not mean to
scare them.
Waitrose have said it is policy. The driver has to identify the customer. I'm not defending that, but that's the context.
The person also seems to live their whole life on twitter. They won't or can't leave the house. And they seem in massive fear of Covid. This leads them to not wanting to take a face mask off, effectively outdoors, to a person maybe a minimum of 12 feet away. And writing shouty tweets about it.
I reckon there's better examples of corporate idiocy to pick on. And I fucking hate Waitrose.

Probably goes some way in explaining why Leeds have some of the highest case numbers in the UK.

in my home area and work area especially
but having said that - I still see a lot of mask wearing wherever i go.

I suppose I could put my phone in my shirt pocket tomorrow and post the video just how many tines I’m asked put a mask on?

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
I've just been for my state sanctioned exercise and called in the corner shop on the way home. All but one of the staff and about half the customers weren't wearing masks (despite the sign on the door) This is in a small town of a few thousand people where compliance has been generally good during the lockdowns.
