So I'm back at work
After almost a month of being furloughed because of a health scare where I work. I work for one of the cola companies of the world and I got put on store stocking despite that's not what I signed up for when I took this job. I worked in the warehouse loading trucks. But due to shortage, I got put into the danger zone.
Long story short. I'm wearing a mask at my job now because where I live, people just forgot that this pandemic never happened and no one is wearing masks now and the stores do not require anyone to wear one. I'm minding my business and stocking shelves and this asshole walks up to me and tells me to take my mask off as its scaring other patrons. I roll my eyes and initially just ignore the guy. But he gets closer and asks me once again to take my mask off. I looked at him and straight up told him to **** off and get out of my space. I have a notice on my lanyard to keep 6ft away from me as well.
Man looked shocked and went to tell the store manager. Which he told me I was justified if he violated my space. I'm at the point where my kindness is completely gone and I have no kind words for selfish individuals.
People wear masks and save your lives and the lives of others. Do not listen to these Neanderthals.
Keep safe everyone. This isn't over, not by a long shot
Here we go ...

1. I just heard Katie Tur say that masks stop
99.something% of the particles coming from your mouth. She said it much more artfully, and I missed the exact ending percentage, but it was high 90’s percent blockage. Very effective!
I would have told that guy to **** off too!

2. You are to be applauded for standing your ground!
You did exactly what you should have to protect yourself and your health.
That took guts.
Here come the reasons I brought this over.

3. That is crazy, why does the ass care, why say anything. What gets me is you wearing a mask only
barely cuts the risk for you, from the ass not wearing the mask, where as you wearing a mask really cuts his risk. Something not fair in that.

9. Exactly
They just run off and tattle to someone. The store manager who was also wearing a mask had my back and gave me full permission to tell anyone off that keeps in my space.

11. So COVID-iots screaming about freedom, just want theirs, screw yours.
Typical Trump Cultist.
We live in a minimal outbreak area and we're still under a shut-down. A couple of weeks ago, everyone had a mask. When we went out yesterday, my husband I were the only ones...2 stores...aside from one employee and one older lady. So far, we've not got any comments on wearing the masks. I'm sure the day will come since we are in RedTrumpistan County.
Good on ya for standing your ground...maybe you can start screaming "my body, my choice" at the next COVID-iot that wants you to give up your freedom to choose.
So does anyone want to take any bets on who is reporting the open restaurants, barber shops, tattoo parlors, etc.? There is thread after thread over there about them crying they saw someone do something they didn't think is right.
Guess what DUmmies, my body, my choice, and I will NOT be wearing a mask except as required by the type of work I do. And putting on a 1/2 face or full face respirator isn't something I have to do often. And unless you're in one of the plants where I'm working and that is required you won't see me in a mask then either.
Bunch of crybabies! LOL
