Last Story: I worked at a grocery store during the height of the pandemic. People were so indignant and rude to me and my coworkers. I always tried to be calm when I had someone yelling at me or arguing with me, but eventually I had enough and just started saying “Ma’am/Sir, you’re a grown adult arguing with a 16 yr old kid. I just work here.” 😅
I worked in a grocery store at that time, too, but unfortunately my store was full of managers that didn’t care about the covid regulations and let any customers in and specifically told us that we weren’t allowed to enforce the mask mandate. They didn’t even tell anybody when there was a huge covid outbreak in the store that took down a whole department, the union eventually sent out a message, but they really didn’t want to acknowledge that covid existed… I’m just so glad that I’m out of there now
@@frankmarzig1972 because they work there? Literally no choice if you want to keep your job? Why do you think Karens treat employees like TRASH? Because they have no choice but to endure it if they want to put food on their table...
Entitled coffee woman: "If you don't get OP to come back and serve me, you will have lost one of your most loyal and valuable customers." Manager: "Really? And who would _that_ be...?"
It's not a customer issue, but more than twenty years ago I had a coworker who was so bad that when she quit three ladies broke into a spontaneous rendition of 'Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead' as she walked out.
I always love that the best one is when I saw someone use that line at a McDonald’s. “Yes Karen Because your five dollar egg McMuffin meal is the difference between this multi billion dollar corporation going bankrupt” lol
That last story really hurt me personally. I lost one of my older sisters to covid back in 2021, and it's left my mother to raise my two young nieces who all now live with my oldest sister and her daughter. My mother has been grieving ever since, and it's left me feeling so empty and numb. These types of people who think someone dying to such a horrible virus is funny has no heart. I really hope that boy realizes what he did was wrong and changes, and I hope his mother grows a spine and stop being an enabler of his behavior, and even changes herself, because he's clearly getting it from someone.
When someone tries to get you to help off the clock, you don't. If the manager tries to force you, tell them you'll see them in the meeting with HR for trying to make you work off the clock.
"You have to smile and be happy about your job" No Karen, people are paid to do a job not paid to be happy about their job, that is just a pleasant bonus which can't exist in jobs where people have to deal with the likes of you.
*First Story:* Were I in OP's place, I would have told Karen off in a way that would make truckers blush. My father, an ex-trucker, can attest to that. *Last Story:* Nothing deflates entitled children like realizing they're facing real consequences. We've all been there as teenagers but destroying property like that? I hope the store pressed charges on him or at least made his mother pay for them.
If there is one thing I despise, it is someone snapping their fingers at me like a dog. I lost two (really crappy) jobs simply by telling the snapper that if they did it again, I would snap their fingers.
There was a recent video where the OP, who happened to be a larger person, stepped intimidatingly close to the Karen and started snapping right back, saying slowly, "don't...do...THIS!" That broke down the Karen into full blown crazy.
@@LadyLexyStarwatcher A fist works very effectively. Cops get called ..... I'd just tell'em I was just trying to swat away an annoying pest and she got too close to my hand.
When I was in college, my father came to pick me up one day he was in the area. Now, he had a two-tone Buick Regal (black/green) which admittedly did look like a cab you'd see used at a discount cab company here in NYC, but didn't have a license plate showing he was a cab. I saw him pull up by the gate and hurried to the car and opened the door when a woman shoved me to the side and hopped in my dad's back seat, rattling off some destination to him. My father said, "Hey lady, I'm not a cab, I'm just here to pick up my son." She flew into a rage and accused him of lying, of being racist (she was white and so were we so...huh?) and demanding to know my father's employer to get him fired. Then she added on, "Oh but I'll let you keep your job if you take me to my destination for free and give me five more free rides as well." My father, by no means a patient man, had had enough and turned around to face her. "Lady, get the hell out of my car now or I will drag you out by your hair. I told you, I'm not a cab and you are pissing me off!" This, of course, had her screaming for police, claiming we were assaulting her and threatening to kill her. A cop car came by after some other students waved it over. She spun this whole sob story about how we were threatening her and assaulting her all because I was trying to take her cab, which she had called for. My father spoke to the guards and pointed out that he was not a cab, and she had jumped into his car uninvited and unwanted when he was just there to pick up his son (me). At seeing our ID cards, showing we were father and son, the security guards made her get out of the car and told us we could go on our way. You'd think it ended there wouldn't you? Nope! The woman snatched my dad's license from the cop's hand and threw it down the gutter. "There, now you have to arrest him for driving without a license," she insisted. Instead, she was arrested for assaulting a police officer (her nails drew blood on his hand when she snatched the license) and destruction of a federal document. She was bundled into the back of the car, kicking and screaming. Guess she got that free ride after all.
The last story reminded me of a post I saw on social media "if you carry a gun to protect yourself or prevent a mass shooting but you will not wear a mask to prevent the spreading of disease you're only concern is looking like a badass not protecting people"
I do carry a CCW gun for protection. I also, if the business insisted, wore a mask during the covid madness. No matter masks are long debunked as useless, if it makes the employees feel good, it's a small price to pay. 😊
I worked at McDonald's for the pandemic and I had one manager that refused to acknowledge covid and whenever someone came in with a mask she would demand that they take it off that she didn't care if they were sick they would sometimes of course refuse she only stopped when corporate stepped in and made covid regulations
I know the last story as well. I worked at a burger restaurant during the height of the pandemic as a server/cashier until it was shut down due to low sales from the pandemic. It cost more to keep the shop open than we were making daily. In the beginning, it was pretty chill. We kept the doors blocked by our tables, and only took online or phone orders. I can remember days when we only got 2 0rders from open to close. As we slowly opened up, we had to deal with people moving the tables to get in, and we would have to remind them to stay behind the table. I mean seriously, the tables are there for a reason! And when we were finally allowed to do indoor seating again, we had to, of course, separate seating. I can't tell you how many times I had to tell people to move to another table, only to be completely ignored. "Well, we need this table because we have such a big group." Eventually, I was forced to just let it happen by management. It was a crappy place to work anyway, but I had to since I was a broke college student who just started my sophomore year when the pandemic started. I can safely say that the global pandemic really showed us just how many people are close-minded and not willing to use common sense. It was during this time I started going by the phrase "Common sense has become extinct". I also go by a phrase my grandma has probably said since the dawn of time: "You can cure a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. It goes right down to the bone." It is the reason I have given up on humanity as a whole, but still sometimes believe in individual people. I only just turned 22, but with the way humans are going, I'm not going to see my 30th birthday.
Edit: Removed og comment which was supposed to be about generally respecting employees when they ask you to respect ANY store rules as it's just their job, because people kept replying with opinions from both sides about masks & mandates. I get it's a heated subject, (which is why I didn't say anything about it) and I'm not saying I did or didn't agree with anyone, just that I feel weird having my comment be one people piggybacked on for debates. If you'd like to talk about your opinions that's cool, but in the future, please *don't* open the debate on someone who wasn't even talking about whatever subject you want to debate. That was a lot to come back to and almost none of it had to do with what I said.
What baffles me is those SAME people were screaming and crying like little children for business rights right before everything started to open up. It's as if that only mattered when businesses being closed inconvenienced them.
What baffled me is those of us that fought the mask mandate were right. A single mask did not help anything. Even that stupid Doctor admitted that a mask was useless. You needed to wear 2 or more mask to make it work.
@@Rhaenarys No freaking kidding!!!!!! It was almost like they didn't care about the business just their right to be an absolute waste of oxygen. Really showed just how bad this place is.
@@mercdragons You got half of that correct, the mask is not useless. The mask helps limiting the amount of infection the infected spread, if used correctly. When the a person not wearing a mask is screaming/coughing/spiting in other peoples faces, the mask is pretty much useless at preventing those that wear a mask being infected by the person not wearing a mask. Simply put the mask limits the amount of airborne infectious particles(droplets) the infected person wearing the mask puts out, but hand sanitizer/washing and surface disinfectant is also needed to stop the contact spreading of the decease.
Story 5: It's funny to see how Karen Jr went from arrogant and confident to an absolute baby once Karen made a run for it. But seriously, even if the government doesn't mandate masks, stores can still have mask rules.
I work at a pharmacy and here in Chile is mandatory to every customer to wear a mask when you are purchasing something, like if you are at a clinic or a hospital because we are working at a healthcare centre. Last Sunday I asked a woman about her mask. She karenised quite fast and I told her to leave the store or I'll call the cops on her.
Our only granddaughter (the other 4 grandchildren are male) worked in a coffee shop for pocket money and the main lesson she learned? 'Grandma, the customer is NOT ALWAYS right!'
The last story...I'm immunocompromised and my 7 year old has asthma. I never played when it came to the virus that shall not be named. I followed the CDC guidelines and I'm the only one at work that still has a mask. I get a lot of crap from people because I still have one the best one when they asked why I say "I'm not taking any chances I'm immunocompromised and weather it works or not it makes me feel better" they then said "then quit working and go home" after a few stunned silence "okay great are you going to pay my bills? Buy my kids food? Pay my rent? No okay we'll have a good day we'll see you for your appointment next week then"
My niece worked in grocery store during the height of the Pandemic. Thank goodness the Supermarket had a very strict mask policy and regularly sanitized the store. But we still were always very worried about her. The worst places around here, though, was not the supermarkets, but the local shopping mall. I had a friend who literally got sick of all of the abuse she'd get from visitors whenever she tried to enforce the mask policy, and ended up quitting. It was just too much. Most of the locals in this part of the country, fortunately, tended to have no problems with having to wear a mask. The problem was that we had one of the few open shopping malls, and people would come from long distances, sometimes by the busload, to visit it. It was almost always the out of towners who had to cause problems. I personally lost 3 friends to the pandemic, and my brother lost co-workers at the hospital where he works. So this is a very personal issue for me.
@@Haldurson half the people in my department caught the vid. Twice. I’m one of the lucky ones since I haven’t got it yet. But the stress overall got to me a lot more than I’ll care to admit. I lost my relationship when my ex went crazy and I got servers depression that I’m still recovering from.
Haldurson So your area took all the precautions and yet you lost 3 friends. And you assume for some reason that it would have been even worse for you without the restrictions. You don’t see the irony there? I’m sorry for your losses
I remember around November of 2020 back in Texas when I was in line at a Target Starbucks to get a pumpkin spice frap. There was a lady behind me with a cart, not keeping her distance, letting her little gremlin cough in my face. Not cool. I almost shoved a handful of napkins in his mouth. I haven’t had real anger issues for a while at that time but on the off chance I did have one: “Please don’t tell my anger management coach!” My imaginary AMC has been a great problem solving tool for better or worse. I actually fixed a few issues because “Use that energy used for being angry or disappointed and look for a creative solution to the source of your anger or use the energy to walk away from the stress.”
Story 3: Rather than talk about how rude snapping fingers is to people (because I already did multiple times), I'll say that doubling down when proven wrong is a really stubborn move that can only go wrong for you. Karen should've just accepted that OP wasn't an employee and waited in line, but instead, she basically lost her position for a long while
Here in Chile snapping fingers at somebody is like screaming bloody murder asking for a hard punch. I watched some entitled idiots doing this to a "lowly employee" and then receiving what they are asking for. The least aggressive response to snapping fingers is an effing off.
I think that "Karen should have accepted that OP wasn't an employee" is the common-theme lesson for every one of these videos. Too many of them just don't seen to learn that, though!
@@paul16451 One of my friends is married to a karen. She firmly believes everybody in this world exist to fulfill her unreasonable demands and wishes. Too bad for her because she was ostracized several years ago. We talked to our friend and said it's nothing against him and he understood and probably will divorce her. "You're welcome but don't bring your wife please". That woman is an idiot.
One of the worst aspects of covid was the number of people, just members of the public, who suddenly decided they were entitled to lay down the law for other members of the public when it has nothing whatsoever to do with them. If, for example, someone did not want to wear a mask in a store it should have been left to the store, not some nosy entitled busy-body to stick their nose in.
Title story (#4) - Agreed about the blatant "I don't have a phone" lie. I caught that too. But here's the fun part: Was anyone else shocked that there's a story out there with tourists _who aren't American_ misbehaving?
With a new variant coming out almost every second day, I always don a mask before entering any stores/shops/banks, etc., even if I am only going to be a second, and I will stay longer if I need to wait for an unmasked customer to leave an area that I need to access. I also still try to maintain the 6 foot distancing. COVID KILLS
Story 5: Sigh. If Covid has taught me anything about humanity is that we've still got a loooong way to go. It, plus everything else that's been happening the recent few past years, really demonstrates how great and how shiatty humans can be at the same time.
I agree. Some people are still refusing to hire unvaccinated people, even though it’s proven that the jab does not stop you from getting or giving covid. Fear turns humans into idiots. 🤦🏼♀️
the problem with the mask mandate is some people started to just wear a mask, i remember a guy who proclaimed to have used a single mask since covid started.
I've known this from antivaxxers, but covid REALLY brought out the selfishness of people. It's sad that we've had to go through this, and still are going through this, all because people didn't want to put on a face covering or get the vaccines for themselves. I mean heck, we have polio coming back because of people like these. All it showed was who actually cares about anyone else but themselves vs who doesn't in a more broad light than just the antivaxxers.
@@tinykittenlollipop1 Hey, don't throw people who didn't get the covid vaccine in the same group as the old school antivaxxers. Vaccines for Polio, measles, etc are widely tested, I think I've got all of them. Now, I got the best vaccine there is against Covid: I contracted it once myself
Right morons attacked people over pointless mask. Ahome trash politicians enforced lockdown mandates that ruined the economy and killed more people then covid ever did.
I am just now going out in public again. I have multiple health issues that would have put me at high risk of death should I have gotten covid. My wife did all the shopping and other errands. During the peak, she was double masked, washed her hands immediately before and after, and changed clothes when she got back home. We have, so far, avoided catching the virus. A dear friend has elderly parents she cares for and avoided the virus until a few weeks ago. She had an unmasked coworker infect a lot of people at her job, including her. Now she's sick and having to scramble to get others to take care of her parents, not knowing if it was already too late. Bastards like that kid should be forced to work bed pan duty in the ICU or work in the morgue.
That is why workers in retail and hospitality industry resign in vast numbers, the cause of the Great Resignation! Also, to be honest, I change from my uniform to my own clothes after clocking out, just a precaution against these people. Not to be identified as a an employee outside the job.
An old coworker of mine had a woman use 'hey, hello, you, hello, I need help here, hey, hey, HEY' before asking the woman she was with 'what's it take to get some help around here ?'. My colleague span round, gave a cheery smile and said 'manners and an excuse me' before walking off out back. The woman went red, looked at her friend who said 'being nice to employees gets you what you want more than being a bitch does Carol' and a nearby man started laughing his head off, along with me and two other workers. Here's the thing though, so many people are set on 'be an arsehole' for most of their lives when it takes no more effort to be nice than it does to be rude and I don't know why.
#1 The store have lost a very «valuable» and «loyal» «customer»... Everyone was more like, «Please, yes, go away and never ever return» and «NOBODY, their neighbours and their extended families will miss you» #2 OP was not naked, so, he was not indecent. The only naked body was a print on the T-shirt.
Last story, at the onset of Covid I had a full face N100 mask that allowed nothing in AND nothing out due to filters on both inhale and exhale. I fell into the "high risk" criteria and frankly there are a LOT of nasty people blowing snot and spittle all over the place on a regular basis. I was mostly complimented for a super effective and pretty cool looking mask, but there were a few... I simply eviscerated them by stating that I was not impressed with their snot showers and unless they wanted to face some serious "accidental damage" they had better get out of my face... I, unfortunately, had to deal some of that damage in self defense a time or two, but I never did so unless assaulted first and the "rebuttal" was always done in the most embarrassing way to the perpetrator as possible... think dodging a lunge and tripping them on the way past so they went sprawling to the floor.
When Karens go on with their "losing a loyal customer" spiel, they should've come back with "We are terribly sorry for the loss, we will surely miss you, please be careful on your way back and have a good day".
Some people tried snapping fingers at me or jabbing me. Thier arm/finger got suddenly and mysteriously bend in painfull unnatural ways. And if a male came to my face and shouting, hr often got a quick knee into the privates or a suick, hard punch just under the ribs. (I had some just instantly collaps in pain haha) They where not tough after that.
If the store required me to wear a mask, then I would wear a mask. I'm not saying that I liked it, but the store had the right to tell me to wear a mask, and it didn't matter whether "Governor Abbott " or anyone else told me I didn't have to.
I would NEVER support or suggest taking a baseball bat to a fifteen year old. I wouldn’t DREAM of someone doxxing that kid so someone can break everything he owns. Never.
Customer service is an unappreciated job , can see why no one wants to do it these days. I liked when Mum went I cant be banned and nicks off on the brat.
Fun side story: I love my mask. XD I paid a bestie to draw two faces of mine and my GF's characters faces. My mask is of the character in my profile picture. My mask is more my face than my face really. Yeah, not going to ever go out in public with out a mask again.
Lockdown was a dream come true for all my introvert friends, plus even when the lockdown got more weaker and kids were being sent to school, they still wore masks all the time, one of them doesn't even remove either their mask or hood in school and skip lunch to avoid getting the mask of their face, that guy just happens to be the quiet kid, and the one punch man of the class, like literally, I'm the only left handed kid in the class and i suck at using my right hand, that guy is right handed and still beat me on a left handed arm wrestling.
2nd story Yes, you can wear something that gross in public. My daughter this past summer modeled a band t-shirt for her boss, and the image was a naked woman tied in bondage with the band name plastered along the top. Btw, my daughter is 21.
"All I can say is I'm glad I can see people's faces again." Really? Cuz I've been utterly horrified by that very thing! People give me anxiety and not seeing their faces actually makes me feel better. I don't have to worry about catching some guy smiling at me in public, and then worrying about if I should smile back or not. I've been followed down the street and asked questions about myself because some dumbass thought we were flirting when I was just trying to not be rude while I walk to work. So not having my own face seen also makes me feel better. It's my little security blanket.
For the mask thing, to anyone who said we can't make you wear it, absolutely 100%, just as a business can't stop you from recording while on their property....they CAN however stop you from being on said property. Feel free to record on your way out.
Last story reminds me of our Supermarket having Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 9am for "senior and handicapped" customers, but NOONE was enforcing it...everybody was in there, I wanted to scream at them to GTFO!
We had similar in the UK. I used the time slot as I'm extremely vulnerable and never saw anyone who looked as if they shouldn't be there. But then I never saw (or heard of) anyone refusing to wear a mask either. I guess we Brits are more rule abiding which I suspect stems from WW2 when the government's advice did so much to help the general public. We tend to trust public health advice.
I had people give me crap about being in the store then but I have immune issues due to my then, recent cancer issues. I'd just pull my hat off that was keeping my bald head warm and ask whats your problem. I do occasionally enjoy pulling out the cancer card on folks lol
My son always shopped at 7 am he waited outside for the store to open, he stopped there on his way home from work, when the store started using the first couple of hours for the elderly or disabled, he worried that they would ask him to leave, I told him that they knew that he always shopped those hours and probably wouldn’t say anything, no one ever said anything, he still waits outside for the store to open so he can get his shopping done early.
Those entitled tourist that come to another country need to know they have obey laws of that country. They can get sent back home for that dangerous behavior
I got hired during the pandemic so I was lucky. Only thing was I had to wear a mask, I have a big red beard that doesn't work well with masks, still wore one. Point being, I don't see any excuse not to wear a mask. My work has dropped the mask policy but still some employees and customers alike still wear masks for their own health and safety for others. Some people just need to learn to chill.
I still wear masks even though it’s optional, simply because as a temporarily single parent (my husband’s doing time, and don’t even THINK about snarking about that!), I literally can’t afford to get sick because we need every penny I bring home! Besides, I spent tons of time hand-sewing masks in fun print fabric for all seasons, so at this point they’re a fun accessory as well as a safety device. I made them, so I might as well rock ‘em! Another benefit is that I haven’t suffered as much from allergies, I haven’t caught any noroviruses, and the only colds I’ve caught have been the ones my kids bring home! I’d call it a win-win!
I see it where I work some people still wearing a mask I stopped wearing a mask because it fogs my glasses up making it hard to do my job but while it was still a requirement I would wear a mask even with my glasses fogging up
I have autism and the elastic band of the mask around my ears feels like razorblades, but I still wear one when required to (or in a drugstore, because I don't trust people who might be walking around and freely spreading their germs even if it's just a common cold). It boggles my mind that some people feel they're above the rules.
Last Story: I work in Retail dealing in Building Materials. I worked through the entire pandemic. Best part, I’m Asset Protection. I’m not a small person either. Had a coworker get a gun flashed at her over the restrictions early on. I’ve had knives pulled on me several times too.
Last story: I still find it absolutely disgusting the collapse of society; people being so arrogant, rude, belligerent, and selfish that they can't even conform to a store's dress code for the health and safety of others. Not only that, but attacking workers, spitting on them, getting into physical altercations with customers who have enough of their behavior, ect. People genuinely have forgotten how to behave when out in public, and it's just absolutely appalling that people legit behave like that. I didn't see/hear people making a fuss about shops which had a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" sign on them...but then people have to also wear a mask and it's like they were asked to sacrifice their children to the flying spaghetti monster; jeez. In the very least, I hope this prompts workers to not argue with those people and just call security (or the cops) for trespassing after the first time the entitled customer is asked to "knock off that behavior or leave" and the customer decides to stand there yelling/arguing. Don't argue with spoiled, stupid brats; the second they stood there and continued to act like a petulant child is the second they chose to be arrested or written up for trespassing. Maybe when they have to start paying fines they'll start actually learning how to properly behave when in public.
Last story: The second Fluff read "Governor Abbott" I knew they were in Texas, so it of course makes sense that there would be this level of audacity over a mask mandate!
Its not just Texas. It was everywhere. I work in a grocery store in WA and we would have people threaten violence against us on a daily basis. Some of those people are still regular customers and they act like nothing ever happened.
@@Avalanche041 Shame on them. At some point I refused to wear a mask too, as more research came to light disproving their effectiveness. But to threaten violence? Or any other verbal abuse for that matter? It baffles me. If I was told that masks were required at a certain store, I'd just say: "okay, no problem, I'll shop somewhere else" It really isn't that hard
Last story:I can remember every time I went anywhere,it caused me all kinds of difficulties because of my asthma (had a really hard time breathing,but I still wore the stupid thing)
You know what the real tragedy is in all this? If I was there, and I gave these entitled people the slaps in the face they truly deserved, I would be the one in trouble. How is that fair?
With the last story, worked retail through the pandemic. And while the place I was at during the height did next to nothing to actually enforce the rules, it was shocking how some people would act if you just offered a mask to them (one of the few things we were allowed to do, and only a few bothered to try after people started making scenes over it). I can't imagine if we were made to actively enforce masking.
Last Story - Ah yes, I remember those days all too well. I was working in the deli department at one grocery store and had to constantly put up with the verbal bs from customers who had no regard for anyone. Those were by far the worst days of the job. I remember one customer very fondly, hated this guy so much. And couldn't help but smile when he was put in the back of a police car for what he did. No mask, and while he was approached by several employees, we couldn't actually do anything if he didn't comply. Anyway, he came up to the deli counter, and I got this guy as everyone else was either busy (getting chickens out of the oven, helping other customers or breaking down the load). So, I get him, get his order, remind him of the mask mandate and all the signs posted. He proceeds to go off more so than any other time. So much so that he grabbed me by my lanyard and pulled. If those wondering, I have a hearing problem so I generally have to go outside the dept (into the main area) to hear customer orders, that's how he had an opening to grab my lanyard. Anywho, he grabs my lanyard and pulls. Now my lanyard was a standard one for deli employees, so it snaps lose causing him to fall backwards. Boss (my boss) rushed over to check on me as she had seen the entire thing. I tell her I'm fine and continue with this guy's order. Fastforward to me handing off said order and he was still going off crazier than normal, he had gotten a large (32oz) thing of hot soup from our soup section and flung it into my face while yelling about the mask mandate. Boss by this point was pissed, she was storming up to this guy when one of my regulars body checks the guy. Cops were called, assault charge placed and I spent the rest of the day in the ER being treated for 2nd degree burns on my face. Boss had to drive me to ER as hot soup did get in my eyes and I couldn't see. Shoot I have so many Entitled People, I Don't Work Here and Malicious Compliance, all from working the deli job I have, could probably write a book. 5+ years and it'll do that.
Politics really brought out the worst in people during the pandemic. A lot of people are dead because they followed the lead of people that didn't really care about their lives and just wanted to stir conflict for political power.
I won't wear a mask, but I wouldn't have thrown hot soup in your face either. had I been there and saw that, I might have gone to jail right with him for beating his azz because he threw soup on you. If you said wear a mask or leave to me I more than likely would have said some unkind words like F.U. or something like that, but I also would have left and went somewhere else to spend my money.
@@donlange1491 If you can't be trusted to wear a mask, then how can you be trusted to do basic hygiene things like washing your hands and staying arms length apart from strangers?
@@norrecvizharan1177 Because some of that stuff has a purpose and is effective at preventing the spread of germs, unlike the mask, which was not protecting anyone,not the person wearing it and not those around him, whether they have a mask on also or not. Go play in the street - KAREN
If I owned a store of any kind, I would have a pre-recorded alarm to play on an intercom at need, "Karen Alert! Karen Alert! There is a Karen in the store! Staff and customers please be aware, there is a Karen present!"
Story Three: If I were you I would have moved the KARENS cart from the check stand over to the door so when she returned she would see it missing and start looking around for it. Story Five: The store should have said, You coughed on it, You bought it!?
Story 4: I am from Germany, and hearing this story made me feel like i have to apologize to everyone who encounterd such a stupid person! I think they should have called the nice guys with the jackets you can hug yourself with ^^ (straitjacket) Greetings from here and i wish all of us only nice people to interact with :-)
Me, too! I feel really embarrassed. We are not like this here, trust us. Most people are much smarter and not rude! And I actually mistook another car for my mother's at one point in my life. It was dark, the car was dark red... you get it. I had already opened one door when I saw it was not ours and went bright red. Can't tell you how many times I apologized while the nice man in the car laughed, but I felt sooo stupid. 😅 lol
The whole "not confronting people not wearing a mask" was the same thing at my workplace. It was just too dangerous to try and get some people to comply with store policies about it.
The last few years have been interesting for many reasons, but as someone who has worked in service in one capacity or another it was especially interesting to see people in these low-paying jobs getting sick of the horrible treatment by employers and customers and just quitting en masse. Then, sweet irony of it all, these same employers and nasty customers were so upset because there were no employees to serve or work for them. 🤦♀
That last story reminds me of the masking mandates out here during the pandemic. The grocery store did have a policy, but it was poorly enforced, and as a result, about 50% of people wore masks while the rest just ignored the rule. I was wearing a mask and doing my shopping when this large (think football player size, but fat instead of muscle) anti-masker started verbally harassing me, throwing out all their favorite "zingers" like "libertard" and "sheeple". I ignored him until he tried to get physical. He tried to grab at my mask and I used the cart to block him and very loudly stated "Get your hands off me, you pervert!". That drew the attention of other shoppers and he must've realized that a 6'+ guy trying to grab at a significantly smaller woman was a bad look...he retreated immediately and hasn't bothered me since.
Damn, I feel that last story. I worked drive thru and main cash for a "fast" food place for a year and a half, right at the start of the pandemic. I would answer drive thru and phones, immediately, with "Hello, thank you for calling blank! Before we continue with placing your order, I just want to let you know that masks /are/ required at this location, in drivethru and lobby. If you don't have a mask, we will not be allowed to serve you. Thank you for your patience, what can I get for you?" I still got screamed at, bitched out, called racist, called a whore, bitch, dipshit, all manner of things. I wasn't even 16 years old yet, and I have always hated confrontation. I don't care your personal beliefs, they are not my concern, nor should mine be yours. However, if a cashier asks you to put on a mask, likely they can face corporate punishment if you don't. And, at least in my case, we wouldn't be working on those damn registers if we had any other options.
Last story: I work in aged care in Australia have for 13 years and we’re still in masks and trying to still uphold the mask policy when everywhere else is out of masks is a nightmare we have had five outbreaks of Covid this year alone and each time about a third of the staff outright quit the minute the plastic gowns come out
Last story - To be fair, I thought that this whole mask thing would be blown over within a few weeks. My brother said that it would be longer. We made a bet, on who would buy dinner the next time, depending on how long the mandate lasted - a few months later, everyone still wearing them, I paid for the dinner.
Canadian tourist story: I can also tell you from experience, that when you are in another country, you are subject to THEIR laws, not the other way around. And if you are ever in another country and arrested, well, they don't read you your "rights" cause you may not have any under their laws other than to contact your embassy/consulate. If the police rough you up, that's your fault for resisting and don't expect a mob or news reaction to be on your side, just isn't going to happen.
I love your videos, the audacity of some of these people is just amazing. Thank you. It gives us ideas on how to deal more protect ourselves from these people,
I had the opposite of the last story happen to me on university campus once. I'm sitting by myself outside enjoy my post calculus skittles and this woman runs up and immediately starts screaming, cussing and insulted for not wearing a mask. It had been a few months since university had lifted the mandate but people could still chose to wear one if they wanted. Funny thing was in her rage I think her mask must have fallen out of her hand because there was one on the ground next to her I hadn't seen earlier. She was so unstable I didn't even realize why she was angry with me. I asked her what her problem was and she screamed that I was an asshole for not wearing a mask. I calmly replied that she wasn't wearing one either and she gave me a profound " fuck you " and stormed off. But not before picking the mask up that had just fallen on the pavement and PUTTING IT BACK ON HER FACE. I was happily able to enjoy the rest of my skittles in pease. Some people are absolutely nuts.
at the beginning of covid my grandmother complained alot about the masks, and she had to wear one for 8 hours each day, she hated it, but never refused to wear one because she knows it was to keep her and others safe, dont refuse to wear masks if required, it just starts so much unnecessary drama
I live in Texas that last story is straight up embarrassing. My family and I still wear our masks because it's nice not catching the flu or a cold all we have to deal with is our allergies.
I hope you're equally embarrassed to have that putz Abbott for a governor. I've heard enough stories about him. No judgment on you personally, just on the system as a whole which put a guy like that in power. Hard to say if Beto is any better. Good luck with the upcoming election!
@@Emeraldwitch30 I know the feeling I have allergies and asthma so when they act up I'm down for the count on doing much if I don't take a bunch of allergy medicine
The last story reminded me of a co-worker of mine. She was a complete anti-gay and anti-gay idiot. She would challenge anyone and everyone over getting the vaccine and wearing a mask. While I never wish anything bad to happen to anyone, all I can say is that karma struck in a way she will never forget. She caught covid, and spread it to her husband and her two preteen kids. She also infected her parents, and sadly, she lost them both to Covid as well as losing her 8 year old daughter, and almost her 11 year old son. He ended up on a respirator for over a month, and is still in physical therapy and occupational therapy. Her husband has left her, and was awarded full custody of their son after she went on a massive rant about the vaccine and masks and blamed her parents and daughter's deaths on them being weak mentally and physically. Now she's alone, and she's in quarantine because she's got the Omnicom B5 variant. It is so sad that she destroyed her family all for her warped political views. I'm all for fighting for our constitutional rights, and freedom to choose, but I will never gamble with my children's lives or my wife or my parents lives to prove my political beliefs. That it the ultimate act of selfishness, and complete lack of caring or empathy for your loved ones. She's basically destroyed her life, and nearly took her husband and son's life. Then she blamed her parents and her own young daughter for their own deaths, which is so wrong. There's a special place in h*ll for her and others just like her.
It's people like her that keep me masked and carrying hand sanitizer. I'm fighting hard enough to STAY alive with my own medical crap .. COVID isn't fun... I am very thankful for the vaccines and new medicine because even as careful as I am... I caught it and it definitely wasn't fun... But I stayed out of the hospital and I made it to the other side. People are too fucking selfish I wear a mask in theory to protect OTHERS and everyone else is protecting others from them because there are asymptomatic super spreaders that never know that they have it until the people around them start dropping like flies . I've lost several people I cared about to Covid....I think wearing a mask is the least people can do...
I am so glad she got karma. I just wish it could have happened to her without the death of her child and parents! That is so disgusting and so f****** unnecessary! I used to work with someone who was a total b**** but she didn't get the vaccine and she didn't wear masks and didn't require her child to either, sadly her very best friend died from covid which ended up destroying her family because her daughter wasn't the biological child of her husband. Sadly the child's biological father was a piece of garbage and then the family wouldn't allow the stepfather to keep custody of the little girl so the poor little girl not only lost her mother, but lost the only father she ever knew and had to move to a different state away from all her friends and all her classmates! The stupid CO worker as devastated as she was, about what happened with the little girl, and the loss of her best friend still doesn't wear a mask and still didn't get vaccinated. 🙄
I'm a teacher, and the first year of COVID, we were virtual. The second year, we were allowed to be in person but to have our masks on. Fighting all those who did not want to wear it was a second job onto itself. The mask mandate SUCKED, but we all as a society have a duty to help each other in this time to make sure we minimize any threat. When we act selfishly, we start contributing to the problem rather than the solution.
It sucked to hear about all the teachers and kids getting sick, especially with some of the locals ranting about how kids can't get sick and some of my distant relatives who work in Healthcare reporting the horror of seriously sick kids. As stressful as it's all been, congrats on making to a less stressful time still able to say "am a teacher."
@@totalldwarf640 Can you prove that it did not help? Because I can prove that it did. We had less infections until the mandate was lifted, then the number of scholars and teachers getting infected at my school tripled without masks. Next time you want to make a silly point, please try to use facts to back it up, instead of insults to other posters.
@@richardblanchard6163 they literally do nothing to slow covid its been proven time and time again but go one keep sheeping. Why don't you ask alone in your car so the scary covid can't come get you
I actually enjoyed my first time out shopping after the madk mandate. I walked into a bank with mask hat and sunglasses on. It was a thrill and i laughed with my mom about it
My younger sister still wears masks bc she is introverted. My mom, sis, and I wear masks because most of my town's population consists of the elderly (including my own mom). For me; it's because of allergies and some issues that could be PCOS. With so many styles of masks out there, who wouldn't want to have things like animal fangs on their face for a shopping trip?
My daughter n i happily wore masks. We didn't want to get sick. Her n i were the only people we knew that didn't get sick. We lost people we loved. RIP to all those who had their lives stolen from covid 19🙏
I'm still wearing a mask in spite of most other people not doing it nowadays. Why? Because F 'em, I want to, that's why. I might just wear a mask from now on, everywhere I go, just because I can.
I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada and our provincial government took our mask mandate away as of today (I'll probably still wear mine) and my company took away our pre- screening today as well (you had to do that so my company knows you are double vaccinated and got your two boosters).😊🇨🇦
@@satansecretary665 Masks have little to no effect on a virus. They are for BACTERIA!! I only wore a mask where it was required, and I'm in my 70's, smoke, and am slightly overweight. Never had a problem with Covid! More and more studies are surfacing that show that the masks actually made things worse!
Before COVID I was working 8-12 hour days 5-6 days a week on a farm. After COVID I spent 9 months with fatigue so bad I needed a nap after doing the dishes and daily migraines among a laundry list of other symptoms. To this day I still get tired more easily than before and I have to work around my migraines which are easily triggered. I'm also asthmatic and claustrophobic. I hate wearing a mask, but still wear one in public spaces. Maybe I am living in fear. I don't know. But I'd rather deal with claustrophobia than lose another year of my life to this shit. I have had 2 more rounds since then that were much easier. I'm assuming due to the vaccine. But they also came with the immediate follow up of a month long sinus infection each. So... Yeah. I'll wear a mask just to avoid the sinus infection.
#2 indecency depends on jurisdiction, and willingness of another to call the cops. If I got a complaint if I wore something like a naked lady on a tee, I would just flip the shirt inside out and go about my day
The last story I do understand their pain even though I had a really hard time during the mask mandates. I have breathing issues that make it extreamly difficult to breathe if I am outside on particularly windy day. I can't wear scarves or thick masks over my face because a reflexively stop breathing when the air from my breathing is redirected back into my nose or mouth. So I basically had to spend 6+ months of constantly having to focus on forcing myself breathe whenever I had to wear a mask or risk passing out (I actually did black out a few times at work). I still complied but if all possible I avoided wearing a mask but was also very careful to regulate my breathing and be respectful of distance and limiting touching items unless I was definitely getting it.
Might be something he picked up from dad. Mom seemed to half heartedly try before caving. Never underestimate what someone in survival mode will compromise to make it to the next day. TL;DR, guessing he picked up habits from a mysoginistic abusive dad who probably also abuses mom.
I was near the head of a checkout line when the woman in front of me said, "Will you hold my place? I just want to grab one more thing." I nodded, figuring that she had plenty of time. Then a new register opened and the cashier said she could help the next customer, which was me. The woman came back, her place in line was gone, and her cart had been pushed aside. She insisted loudly that she should be able to cut in line because "someone" was holding her place. By this time I had paid so I just left. I don't know how they handled it. Is there etiquette that covers this?
Okay the third story The if you snap your fingers around a common snapping turtle there's a slight chance it could bite your fingers off but all will do is just give you a scar but if you snap your fingers in front of an alligator snapping turtle your fingers would be permanently gone
Last Story: I worked at a grocery store during the height of the pandemic. People were so indignant and rude to me and my coworkers. I always tried to be calm when I had someone yelling at me or arguing with me, but eventually I had enough and just started saying “Ma’am/Sir, you’re a grown adult arguing with a 16 yr old kid. I just work here.” 😅
I worked in a grocery store at that time, too, but unfortunately my store was full of managers that didn’t care about the covid regulations and let any customers in and specifically told us that we weren’t allowed to enforce the mask mandate. They didn’t even tell anybody when there was a huge covid outbreak in the store that took down a whole department, the union eventually sent out a message, but they really didn’t want to acknowledge that covid existed… I’m just so glad that I’m out of there now
and why are you arguing with adults?
@@frankmarzig1972 to enforce a policy so they don't lose their job
@@frankmarzig1972 Because they work there and the “adults” were arguing with them

Entitled coffee woman: "If you don't get OP to come back and serve me, you will have lost one of your most loyal and valuable customers."
Manager: "Really? And who would _that_ be...?"
A priceless answer!
It's not a customer issue, but more than twenty years ago I had a coworker who was so bad that when she quit three ladies broke into a spontaneous rendition of 'Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead' as she walked out.
I always love that the best one is when I saw someone use that line at a McDonald’s. “Yes Karen Because your five dollar egg McMuffin meal is the difference between this multi billion dollar corporation going bankrupt” lol
“Really? You’re not coming back? Promise?” face like a kid reacting to “We’re going to Disney World!”
In the words of Violet Crawley (Downton Abbey, you know), "Is that a promise?"
Retail workers everywhere when a horrible customer says they won’t come back “YOU PROMISE”
Can I get that in writing please??
Could I have that in writing, please?
My reply would probably be "Really??? Thank you so much!!!!"
Yeah, right. Don't get my hopes up by making promises you don't intend to keep.
"Can I have that in writing, please? Co-signed by two witnesses or a JP?"
Karen: 'I am never coming back here'!
Employee: (to themselves) 'TF for that'
Manager: That’s good Karen because you’re banned from this location
My reply to people saying this was always, "May I please get that in writing?"
"You promise?"
That last story really hurt me personally. I lost one of my older sisters to covid back in 2021, and it's left my mother to raise my two young nieces who all now live with my oldest sister and her daughter. My mother has been grieving ever since, and it's left me feeling so empty and numb.
These types of people who think someone dying to such a horrible virus is funny has no heart. I really hope that boy realizes what he did was wrong and changes, and I hope his mother grows a spine and stop being an enabler of his behavior, and even changes herself, because he's clearly getting it from someone.
First story.... "I'm never coming back!"
Me.... "Promise? I'll hold you to that."
XD
When someone tries to get you to help off the clock, you don't. If the manager tries to force you, tell them you'll see them in the meeting with HR for trying to make you work off the clock.
"You have to smile and be happy about your job" No Karen, people are paid to do a job not paid to be happy about their job, that is just a pleasant bonus which can't exist in jobs where people have to deal with the likes of you.
*First Story:* Were I in OP's place, I would have told Karen off in a way that would make truckers blush. My father, an ex-trucker, can attest to that.
*Last Story:* Nothing deflates entitled children like realizing they're facing real consequences. We've all been there as teenagers but destroying property like that? I hope the store pressed charges on him or at least made his mother pay for them.
Needed to be arrested.
Ugh, yes. When children are taught that they're not at fault, even though the opposite is true, they become entitled brats.
If there is one thing I despise, it is someone snapping their fingers at me like a dog. I lost two (really crappy) jobs simply by telling the snapper that if they did it again, I would snap their fingers.
There was a recent video where the OP, who happened to be a larger person, stepped intimidatingly close to the Karen and started snapping right back, saying slowly, "don't...do...THIS!" That broke down the Karen into full blown crazy.
I'd love to see someone act like a snapping turtle and bite those snapping fingers!
I probably would have reflexively bit them. XD I have been known to bite things that get to close to my face.
@@LadyLexyStarwatcher A fist works very effectively. Cops get called ..... I'd just tell'em I was just trying to swat away an annoying pest and she got too close to my hand.

When I was in college, my father came to pick me up one day he was in the area. Now, he had a two-tone Buick Regal (black/green) which admittedly did look like a cab you'd see used at a discount cab company here in NYC, but didn't have a license plate showing he was a cab.
I saw him pull up by the gate and hurried to the car and opened the door when a woman shoved me to the side and hopped in my dad's back seat, rattling off some destination to him. My father said, "Hey lady, I'm not a cab, I'm just here to pick up my son."
She flew into a rage and accused him of lying, of being racist (she was white and so were we so...huh?) and demanding to know my father's employer to get him fired. Then she added on, "Oh but I'll let you keep your job if you take me to my destination for free and give me five more free rides as well."
My father, by no means a patient man, had had enough and turned around to face her. "Lady, get the hell out of my car now or I will drag you out by your hair. I told you, I'm not a cab and you are pissing me off!" This, of course, had her screaming for police, claiming we were assaulting her and threatening to kill her.
A cop car came by after some other students waved it over. She spun this whole sob story about how we were threatening her and assaulting her all because I was trying to take her cab, which she had called for. My father spoke to the guards and pointed out that he was not a cab, and she had jumped into his car uninvited and unwanted when he was just there to pick up his son (me).
At seeing our ID cards, showing we were father and son, the security guards made her get out of the car and told us we could go on our way. You'd think it ended there wouldn't you? Nope! The woman snatched my dad's license from the cop's hand and threw it down the gutter. "There, now you have to arrest him for driving without a license," she insisted. Instead, she was arrested for assaulting a police officer (her nails drew blood on his hand when she snatched the license) and destruction of a federal document. She was bundled into the back of the car, kicking and screaming.
Guess she got that free ride after all.
I love your last line. LOL I guess though it wasn't the destination she originally wanted. 🙂
What "federal docuiment"? Drivers' licenses are issued by states.
The last story reminded me of a post I saw on social media "if you carry a gun to protect yourself or prevent a mass shooting but you will not wear a mask to prevent the spreading of disease you're only concern is looking like a badass not protecting people"
I do carry a CCW gun for protection. I also, if the business insisted, wore a mask during the covid madness. No matter masks are long debunked as useless, if it makes the employees feel good, it's a small price to pay. 😊
I worked at McDonald's for the pandemic and I had one manager that refused to acknowledge covid and whenever someone came in with a mask she would demand that they take it off that she didn't care if they were sick they would sometimes of course refuse she only stopped when corporate stepped in and made covid regulations
I know the last story as well. I worked at a burger restaurant during the height of the pandemic as a server/cashier until it was shut down due to low sales from the pandemic. It cost more to keep the shop open than we were making daily. In the beginning, it was pretty chill. We kept the doors blocked by our tables, and only took online or phone orders. I can remember days when we only got 2 0rders from open to close. As we slowly opened up, we had to deal with people moving the tables to get in, and we would have to remind them to stay behind the table. I mean seriously, the tables are there for a reason! And when we were finally allowed to do indoor seating again, we had to, of course, separate seating. I can't tell you how many times I had to tell people to move to another table, only to be completely ignored. "Well, we need this table because we have such a big group." Eventually, I was forced to just let it happen by management. It was a crappy place to work anyway, but I had to since I was a broke college student who just started my sophomore year when the pandemic started.
I can safely say that the global pandemic really showed us just how many people are close-minded and not willing to use common sense. It was during this time I started going by the phrase "Common sense has become extinct". I also go by a phrase my grandma has probably said since the dawn of time: "You can cure a lot of things, but stupid isn't one of them. It goes right down to the bone." It is the reason I have given up on humanity as a whole, but still sometimes believe in individual people. I only just turned 22, but with the way humans are going, I'm not going to see my 30th birthday.
Here in New Zealand masks are no longer mandatory in businesses but I still intend to keep wearing one for the foreseeable future
Edit: Removed og comment which was supposed to be about generally respecting employees when they ask you to respect ANY store rules as it's just their job, because people kept replying with opinions from both sides about masks & mandates. I get it's a heated subject, (which is why I didn't say anything about it) and I'm not saying I did or didn't agree with anyone, just that I feel weird having my comment be one people piggybacked on for debates. If you'd like to talk about your opinions that's cool, but in the future, please *don't* open the debate on someone who wasn't even talking about whatever subject you want to debate. That was a lot to come back to and almost none of it had to do with what I said.
What baffles me is those SAME people were screaming and crying like little children for business rights right before everything started to open up. It's as if that only mattered when businesses being closed inconvenienced them.
What baffled me is those of us that fought the mask mandate were right. A single mask did not help anything. Even that stupid Doctor admitted that a mask was useless. You needed to wear 2 or more mask to make it work.
@@Rhaenarys No freaking kidding!!!!!! It was almost like they didn't care about the business just their right to be an absolute waste of oxygen. Really showed just how bad this place is.
@@mercdragons You got half of that correct, the mask is not useless. The mask helps limiting the amount of infection the infected spread, if used correctly. When the a person not wearing a mask is screaming/coughing/spiting in other peoples faces, the mask is pretty much useless at preventing those that wear a mask being infected by the person not wearing a mask. Simply put the mask limits the amount of airborne infectious particles(droplets) the infected person wearing the mask puts out, but hand sanitizer/washing and surface disinfectant is also needed to stop the contact spreading of the decease.

Very true, like Walmart, Safeway, CVS, Walgreens, Costco and so forth.🇺🇸👍
My store, my rules. Don't like it? Gtfo.
Which is stupid.
I work at a pharmacy and here in Chile is mandatory to every customer to wear a mask when you are purchasing something, like if you are at a clinic or a hospital because we are working at a healthcare centre. Last Sunday I asked a woman about her mask. She karenised quite fast and I told her to leave the store or I'll call the cops on her.

The last story...I'm immunocompromised and my 7 year old has asthma. I never played when it came to the virus that shall not be named. I followed the CDC guidelines and I'm the only one at work that still has a mask. I get a lot of crap from people because I still have one the best one when they asked why I say "I'm not taking any chances I'm immunocompromised and weather it works or not it makes me feel better" they then said "then quit working and go home" after a few stunned silence "okay great are you going to pay my bills? Buy my kids food? Pay my rent? No okay we'll have a good day we'll see you for your appointment next week then"
I truly feel for the employees of grocery stores.
As an employee at a grocery store I thank you
My niece worked in grocery store during the height of the Pandemic. Thank goodness the Supermarket had a very strict mask policy and regularly sanitized the store. But we still were always very worried about her. The worst places around here, though, was not the supermarkets, but the local shopping mall. I had a friend who literally got sick of all of the abuse she'd get from visitors whenever she tried to enforce the mask policy, and ended up quitting. It was just too much. Most of the locals in this part of the country, fortunately, tended to have no problems with having to wear a mask. The problem was that we had one of the few open shopping malls, and people would come from long distances, sometimes by the busload, to visit it. It was almost always the out of towners who had to cause problems. I personally lost 3 friends to the pandemic, and my brother lost co-workers at the hospital where he works. So this is a very personal issue for me.
@@Haldurson half the people in my department caught the vid. Twice. I’m one of the lucky ones since I haven’t got it yet. But the stress overall got to me a lot more than I’ll care to admit. I lost my relationship when my ex went crazy and I got servers depression that I’m still recovering from.

Story 3: Rather than talk about how rude snapping fingers is to people (because I already did multiple times), I'll say that doubling down when proven wrong is a really stubborn move that can only go wrong for you. Karen should've just accepted that OP wasn't an employee and waited in line, but instead, she basically lost her position for a long while
Here in Chile snapping fingers at somebody is like screaming bloody murder asking for a hard punch. I watched some entitled idiots doing this to a "lowly employee" and then receiving what they are asking for. The least aggressive response to snapping fingers is an effing off.
I think that "Karen should have accepted that OP wasn't an employee" is the common-theme lesson for every one of these videos. Too many of them just don't seen to learn that, though!

One of the worst aspects of covid was the number of people, just members of the public, who suddenly decided they were entitled to lay down the law for other members of the public when it has nothing whatsoever to do with them. If, for example, someone did not want to wear a mask in a store it should have been left to the store, not some nosy entitled busy-body to stick their nose in.
I've had enough bullying in life that if someone snapped their fingers in my face I very likely could end up biting those very fingers.
Title story (#4) - Agreed about the blatant "I don't have a phone" lie. I caught that too. But here's the fun part: Was anyone else shocked that there's a story out there with tourists _who aren't American_ misbehaving?
With a new variant coming out almost every second day, I always don a mask before entering any stores/shops/banks, etc., even if I am only going to be a second, and I will stay longer if I need to wait for an unmasked customer to leave an area that I need to access. I also still try to maintain the 6 foot distancing. COVID KILLS
Story 5: Sigh. If Covid has taught me anything about humanity is that we've still got a loooong way to go. It, plus everything else that's been happening the recent few past years, really demonstrates how great and how shiatty humans can be at the same time.
I agree. Some people are still refusing to hire unvaccinated people, even though it’s proven that the jab does not stop you from getting or giving covid.
Fear turns humans into idiots. 🤦🏼♀️
the problem with the mask mandate is some people started to just wear a mask, i remember a guy who proclaimed to have used a single mask since covid started.
I've known this from antivaxxers, but covid REALLY brought out the selfishness of people. It's sad that we've had to go through this, and still are going through this, all because people didn't want to put on a face covering or get the vaccines for themselves. I mean heck, we have polio coming back because of people like these. All it showed was who actually cares about anyone else but themselves vs who doesn't in a more broad light than just the antivaxxers.
@@tinykittenlollipop1
Hey, don't throw people who didn't get the covid vaccine in the same group as the old school antivaxxers.
Vaccines for Polio, measles, etc are widely tested, I think I've got all of them.
Now, I got the best vaccine there is against Covid: I contracted it once myself
Right morons attacked people over pointless mask. Ahome trash politicians enforced lockdown mandates that ruined the economy and killed more people then covid ever did.
I am just now going out in public again. I have multiple health issues that would have put me at high risk of death should I have gotten covid. My wife did all the shopping and other errands. During the peak, she was double masked, washed her hands immediately before and after, and changed clothes when she got back home. We have, so far, avoided catching the virus. A dear friend has elderly parents she cares for and avoided the virus until a few weeks ago. She had an unmasked coworker infect a lot of people at her job, including her. Now she's sick and having to scramble to get others to take care of her parents, not knowing if it was already too late. Bastards like that kid should be forced to work bed pan duty in the ICU or work in the morgue.
That is why workers in retail and hospitality industry resign in vast numbers, the cause of the Great Resignation!
Also, to be honest, I change from my uniform to my own clothes after clocking out, just a precaution against these people. Not to be identified as a an employee outside the job.
An old coworker of mine had a woman use 'hey, hello, you, hello, I need help here, hey, hey, HEY' before asking the woman she was with 'what's it take to get some help around here ?'. My colleague span round, gave a cheery smile and said 'manners and an excuse me' before walking off out back. The woman went red, looked at her friend who said 'being nice to employees gets you what you want more than being a bitch does Carol' and a nearby man started laughing his head off, along with me and two other workers. Here's the thing though, so many people are set on 'be an arsehole' for most of their lives when it takes no more effort to be nice than it does to be rude and I don't know why.
#1 The store have lost a very «valuable» and «loyal» «customer»... Everyone was more like, «Please, yes, go away and never ever return» and «NOBODY, their neighbours and their extended families will miss you»
#2 OP was not naked, so, he was not indecent. The only naked body was a print on the T-shirt.
last story. that kid laughed at someone losing their mom. I'm sorry but I would be going to jail for defacing a minor.
You and I would have been cell mates, kid!
Karen should have done that herself.
Kids are some of the meanest people on the planet
Last story, at the onset of Covid I had a full face N100 mask that allowed nothing in AND nothing out due to filters on both inhale and exhale. I fell into the "high risk" criteria and frankly there are a LOT of nasty people blowing snot and spittle all over the place on a regular basis. I was mostly complimented for a super effective and pretty cool looking mask, but there were a few... I simply eviscerated them by stating that I was not impressed with their snot showers and unless they wanted to face some serious "accidental damage" they had better get out of my face... I, unfortunately, had to deal some of that damage in self defense a time or two, but I never did so unless assaulted first and the "rebuttal" was always done in the most embarrassing way to the perpetrator as possible... think dodging a lunge and tripping them on the way past so they went sprawling to the floor.
When Karens go on with their "losing a loyal customer" spiel, they should've come back with "We are terribly sorry for the loss, we will surely miss you, please be careful on your way back and have a good day".
Karen "You just lost a Loyal customer" Me:"promises....promises...."
Me: who??
Some people tried snapping fingers at me or jabbing me. Thier arm/finger got suddenly and mysteriously bend in painfull unnatural ways. And if a male came to my face and shouting, hr often got a quick knee into the privates or a suick, hard punch just under the ribs. (I had some just instantly collaps in pain haha) They where not tough after that.
If the store required me to wear a mask, then I would wear a mask. I'm not saying that I liked it, but the store had the right to tell me to wear a mask, and it didn't matter whether "Governor Abbott " or anyone else told me I didn't have to.
I still wear a mask and take my hand sanitizer everywhere I go. I have people at home who can NOT afford to get this thing.
I would NEVER support or suggest taking a baseball bat to a fifteen year old. I wouldn’t DREAM of someone doxxing that kid so someone can break everything he owns. Never.
I'm still wearing masks when I go in the store even though I'm fully vaccinated and supposedly covid is close to being gone.
Customer service is an unappreciated job , can see why no one wants to do it these days. I liked when Mum went I cant be banned and nicks off on the brat.
Fun side story: I love my mask. XD I paid a bestie to draw two faces of mine and my GF's characters faces. My mask is of the character in my profile picture. My mask is more my face than my face really. Yeah, not going to ever go out in public with out a mask again.
Wearing a mask 😷 in winter wasn’t bad at all, kept my face warm 😊
Lockdown was a dream come true for all my introvert friends, plus even when the lockdown got more weaker and kids were being sent to school, they still wore masks all the time, one of them doesn't even remove either their mask or hood in school and skip lunch to avoid getting the mask of their face, that guy just happens to be the quiet kid, and the one punch man of the class, like literally, I'm the only left handed kid in the class and i suck at using my right hand, that guy is right handed and still beat me on a left handed arm wrestling.
2nd story Yes, you can wear something that gross in public. My daughter this past summer modeled a band t-shirt for her boss, and the image was a naked woman tied in bondage with the band name plastered along the top. Btw, my daughter is 21.
cool shirt lol
"All I can say is I'm glad I can see people's faces again."
Really? Cuz I've been utterly horrified by that very thing! People give me anxiety and not seeing their faces actually makes me feel better. I don't have to worry about catching some guy smiling at me in public, and then worrying about if I should smile back or not. I've been followed down the street and asked questions about myself because some dumbass thought we were flirting when I was just trying to not be rude while I walk to work. So not having my own face seen also makes me feel better. It's my little security blanket.
So true.
As someone who’s immunocomprimised I really wish more people still wore them. Also, I haven’t gotten the flu or a cold since I started wearing a mask.
coward moment
KAREN
@@blackstone1a I spy an asshole moment right there.
Second story: About your question, I doubt that it's indecent exposure because OP isn't exposed and there actually isn't a real person exposed.
"you lost a valuable customer today. I'm never coming back!" You promise? That will be a blessing not a curse.
For the mask thing, to anyone who said we can't make you wear it, absolutely 100%, just as a business can't stop you from recording while on their property....they CAN however stop you from being on said property. Feel free to record on your way out.
Last story reminds me of our Supermarket having Tuesday and Thursday from 7 to 9am for "senior and handicapped" customers, but NOONE was enforcing it...everybody was in there, I wanted to scream at them to GTFO!
We had similar in the UK. I used the time slot as I'm extremely vulnerable and never saw anyone who looked as if they shouldn't be there. But then I never saw (or heard of) anyone refusing to wear a mask either. I guess we Brits are more rule abiding which I suspect stems from WW2 when the government's advice did so much to help the general public. We tend to trust public health advice.
I had people give me crap about being in the store then but I have immune issues due to my then, recent cancer issues.
I'd just pull my hat off that was keeping my bald head warm and ask whats your problem. I do occasionally enjoy pulling out the cancer card on folks lol
My son always shopped at 7 am he waited outside for the store to open, he stopped there on his way home from work, when the store started using the first couple of hours for the elderly or disabled, he worried that they would ask him to leave, I told him that they knew that he always shopped those hours and probably wouldn’t say anything, no one ever said anything, he still waits outside for the store to open so he can get his shopping done early.
Those entitled tourist that come to another country need to know they have obey laws of that country. They can get sent back home for that dangerous behavior
Definitely, and would probably give them a bad rep with the natives
They are nobodies to the people of the country
I got hired during the pandemic so I was lucky. Only thing was I had to wear a mask, I have a big red beard that doesn't work well with masks, still wore one. Point being, I don't see any excuse not to wear a mask. My work has dropped the mask policy but still some employees and customers alike still wear masks for their own health and safety for others. Some people just need to learn to chill.
I still wear masks even though it’s optional, simply because as a temporarily single parent (my husband’s doing time, and don’t even THINK about snarking about that!), I literally can’t afford to get sick because we need every penny I bring home! Besides, I spent tons of time hand-sewing masks in fun print fabric for all seasons, so at this point they’re a fun accessory as well as a safety device. I made them, so I might as well rock ‘em!
Another benefit is that I haven’t suffered as much from allergies, I haven’t caught any noroviruses, and the only colds I’ve caught have been the ones my kids bring home! I’d call it a win-win!
I see it where I work some people still wearing a mask I stopped wearing a mask because it fogs my glasses up making it hard to do my job but while it was still a requirement I would wear a mask even with my glasses fogging up
@@dragondancer1814 No shade, I got my own issues with the courts. We just out here doing our best and I respect your Hussle.
I have autism and the elastic band of the mask around my ears feels like razorblades, but I still wear one when required to (or in a drugstore, because I don't trust people who might be walking around and freely spreading their germs even if it's just a common cold).
It boggles my mind that some people feel they're above the rules.
Last Story: I work in Retail dealing in Building Materials. I worked through the entire pandemic. Best part, I’m Asset Protection. I’m not a small person either. Had a coworker get a gun flashed at her over the restrictions early on. I’ve had knives pulled on me several times too.
In Germany an anti-masker shot a young man at a gas station because of this.
He got a livelong sentence without parole.
@@utej.k.bemsel4777 good guy got what he deserved for shooting someone I hope the guy that got shot survived
My son and I live in Ontario, Canada and we still wear masks
Last story: I still find it absolutely disgusting the collapse of society; people being so arrogant, rude, belligerent, and selfish that they can't even conform to a store's dress code for the health and safety of others. Not only that, but attacking workers, spitting on them, getting into physical altercations with customers who have enough of their behavior, ect.
People genuinely have forgotten how to behave when out in public, and it's just absolutely appalling that people legit behave like that.
I didn't see/hear people making a fuss about shops which had a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" sign on them...but then people have to also wear a mask and it's like they were asked to sacrifice their children to the flying spaghetti monster; jeez.
In the very least, I hope this prompts workers to not argue with those people and just call security (or the cops) for trespassing after the first time the entitled customer is asked to "knock off that behavior or leave" and the customer decides to stand there yelling/arguing. Don't argue with spoiled, stupid brats; the second they stood there and continued to act like a petulant child is the second they chose to be arrested or written up for trespassing. Maybe when they have to start paying fines they'll start actually learning how to properly behave when in public.
Last story: The second Fluff read "Governor Abbott" I knew they were in Texas, so it of course makes sense that there would be this level of audacity over a mask mandate!
Texas and Florida!😝😝
Its not just Texas. It was everywhere. I work in a grocery store in WA and we would have people threaten violence against us on a daily basis. Some of those people are still regular customers and they act like nothing ever happened.
@@Avalanche041
Shame on them. At some point I refused to wear a mask too, as more research came to light disproving their effectiveness.
But to threaten violence? Or any other verbal abuse for that matter? It baffles me. If I was told that masks were required at a certain store, I'd just say: "okay, no problem, I'll shop somewhere else"
It really isn't that hard
@@Mrs_Sugar_Min 2 states more focused on their fairytale religions over science
Karen fail to realize that people do not work ALL THE TIME.

Last story:I can remember every time I went anywhere,it caused me all kinds of difficulties because of my asthma (had a really hard time breathing,but I still wore the stupid thing)
" *Damn* Tourist " is right!
You know what the real tragedy is in all this? If I was there, and I gave these entitled people the slaps in the face they truly deserved, I would be the one in trouble. How is that fair?
With the last story, worked retail through the pandemic. And while the place I was at during the height did next to nothing to actually enforce the rules, it was shocking how some people would act if you just offered a mask to them (one of the few things we were allowed to do, and only a few bothered to try after people started making scenes over it). I can't imagine if we were made to actively enforce masking.
Last Story -
Ah yes, I remember those days all too well. I was working in the deli department at one grocery store and had to constantly put up with the verbal bs from customers who had no regard for anyone. Those were by far the worst days of the job. I remember one customer very fondly, hated this guy so much. And couldn't help but smile when he was put in the back of a police car for what he did. No mask, and while he was approached by several employees, we couldn't actually do anything if he didn't comply. Anyway, he came up to the deli counter, and I got this guy as everyone else was either busy (getting chickens out of the oven, helping other customers or breaking down the load). So, I get him, get his order, remind him of the mask mandate and all the signs posted.
He proceeds to go off more so than any other time. So much so that he grabbed me by my lanyard and pulled. If those wondering, I have a hearing problem so I generally have to go outside the dept (into the main area) to hear customer orders, that's how he had an opening to grab my lanyard. Anywho, he grabs my lanyard and pulls. Now my lanyard was a standard one for deli employees, so it snaps lose causing him to fall backwards. Boss (my boss) rushed over to check on me as she had seen the entire thing. I tell her I'm fine and continue with this guy's order. Fastforward to me handing off said order and he was still going off crazier than normal, he had gotten a large (32oz) thing of hot soup from our soup section and flung it into my face while yelling about the mask mandate. Boss by this point was pissed, she was storming up to this guy when one of my regulars body checks the guy.
Cops were called, assault charge placed and I spent the rest of the day in the ER being treated for 2nd degree burns on my face. Boss had to drive me to ER as hot soup did get in my eyes and I couldn't see.
Shoot I have so many Entitled People, I Don't Work Here and Malicious Compliance, all from working the deli job I have, could probably write a book. 5+ years and it'll do that.
Wow. You poor thing. I feel for you. 😢 People are so horrible sometimes.
Politics really brought out the worst in people during the pandemic. A lot of people are dead because they followed the lead of people that didn't really care about their lives and just wanted to stir conflict for political power.
I won't wear a mask, but I wouldn't have thrown hot soup in your face either. had I been there and saw that, I might have gone to jail right with him for beating his azz because he threw soup on you. If you said wear a mask or leave to me I more than likely would have said some unkind words like F.U. or something like that, but I also would have left and went somewhere else to spend my money.
@@donlange1491 If you can't be trusted to wear a mask, then how can you be trusted to do basic hygiene things like washing your hands and staying arms length apart from strangers?
@@norrecvizharan1177 Because some of that stuff has a purpose and is effective at preventing the spread of germs, unlike the mask, which was not protecting anyone,not the person wearing it and not those around him, whether they have a mask on also or not.
Go play in the street - KAREN
If I owned a store of any kind, I would have a pre-recorded alarm to play on an intercom at need, "Karen Alert! Karen Alert! There is a Karen in the store! Staff and customers please be aware, there is a Karen present!"
Story Three: If I were you I would have moved the KARENS cart from the check stand over to the door so when she returned she would see it missing and start looking around for it.
Story Five: The store should have said, You coughed on it, You bought it!?
Story 4: I am from Germany, and hearing this story made me feel like i have to apologize to everyone who encounterd such a stupid person! I think they should have called the nice guys with the jackets you can hug yourself with ^^ (straitjacket) Greetings from here and i wish all of us only nice people to interact with :-)
Me, too! I feel really embarrassed.
We are not like this here, trust us. Most people are much smarter and not rude!
And I actually mistook another car for my mother's at one point in my life. It was dark, the car was dark red... you get it.
I had already opened one door when I saw it was not ours and went bright red. Can't tell you how many times I apologized while the nice man in the car laughed, but I felt sooo stupid. 😅 lol
Dutch: i would go. Sure toss ur shit in the back and drive off... teach assholes a lesson.
The whole "not confronting people not wearing a mask" was the same thing at my workplace. It was just too dangerous to try and get some people to comply with store policies about it.
The last few years have been interesting for many reasons, but as someone who has worked in service in one capacity or another it was especially interesting to see people in these low-paying jobs getting sick of the horrible treatment by employers and customers and just quitting en masse. Then, sweet irony of it all, these same employers and nasty customers were so upset because there were no employees to serve or work for them. 🤦♀
That last story reminds me of the masking mandates out here during the pandemic. The grocery store did have a policy, but it was poorly enforced, and as a result, about 50% of people wore masks while the rest just ignored the rule. I was wearing a mask and doing my shopping when this large (think football player size, but fat instead of muscle) anti-masker started verbally harassing me, throwing out all their favorite "zingers" like "libertard" and "sheeple". I ignored him until he tried to get physical. He tried to grab at my mask and I used the cart to block him and very loudly stated "Get your hands off me, you pervert!". That drew the attention of other shoppers and he must've realized that a 6'+ guy trying to grab at a significantly smaller woman was a bad look...he retreated immediately and hasn't bothered me since.
Damn, I feel that last story. I worked drive thru and main cash for a "fast" food place for a year and a half, right at the start of the pandemic. I would answer drive thru and phones, immediately, with "Hello, thank you for calling blank! Before we continue with placing your order, I just want to let you know that masks /are/ required at this location, in drivethru and lobby. If you don't have a mask, we will not be allowed to serve you. Thank you for your patience, what can I get for you?"
I still got screamed at, bitched out, called racist, called a whore, bitch, dipshit, all manner of things. I wasn't even 16 years old yet, and I have always hated confrontation.
I don't care your personal beliefs, they are not my concern, nor should mine be yours. However, if a cashier asks you to put on a mask, likely they can face corporate punishment if you don't. And, at least in my case, we wouldn't be working on those damn registers if we had any other options.
Last story: I work in aged care in Australia have for 13 years and we’re still in masks and trying to still uphold the mask policy when everywhere else is out of masks is a nightmare we have had five outbreaks of Covid this year alone and each time about a third of the staff outright quit the minute the plastic gowns come out
I'm so sorry to hear that!! My bf and I are still wearing masks to most places here, not all of us aussies have given up!
Last story -
To be fair, I thought that this whole mask thing would be blown over within a few weeks. My brother said that it would be longer. We made a bet, on who would buy dinner the next time, depending on how long the mandate lasted - a few months later, everyone still wearing them, I paid for the dinner.
Crazy wasn’t it?
@@michaellyle859 Yeah. At least things are more relaxed.....
Canadian tourist story: I can also tell you from experience, that when you are in another country, you are subject to THEIR laws, not the other way around. And if you are ever in another country and arrested, well, they don't read you your "rights" cause you may not have any under their laws other than to contact your embassy/consulate. If the police rough you up, that's your fault for resisting and don't expect a mob or news reaction to be on your side, just isn't going to happen.
I love your videos, the audacity of some of these people is just amazing. Thank you. It gives us ideas on how to deal more protect ourselves from these people,
I had the opposite of the last story happen to me on university campus once. I'm sitting by myself outside enjoy my post calculus skittles and this woman runs up and immediately starts screaming, cussing and insulted for not wearing a mask. It had been a few months since university had lifted the mandate but people could still chose to wear one if they wanted. Funny thing was in her rage I think her mask must have fallen out of her hand because there was one on the ground next to her I hadn't seen earlier. She was so unstable I didn't even realize why she was angry with me. I asked her what her problem was and she screamed that I was an asshole for not wearing a mask. I calmly replied that she wasn't wearing one either and she gave me a profound " fuck you " and stormed off. But not before picking the mask up that had just fallen on the pavement and PUTTING IT BACK ON HER FACE. I was happily able to enjoy the rest of my skittles in pease. Some people are absolutely nuts.
"I'm glad I can see peoples faces again." Idk man, people do some weird gross stuff with their mouth that I rather not see.
Love you bunches and bunches Fluff and Stevie-boy!!! ♥️♥️♥️
at the beginning of covid my grandmother complained alot about the masks, and she had to wear one for 8 hours each day, she hated it, but never refused to wear one because she knows it was to keep her and others safe, dont refuse to wear masks if required, it just starts so much unnecessary drama
In regards to Story 4, it's so mind-boggling to me about how someone can act like that and then turn around and call somebody else rude.
lol Dark Fluff! Don’t threaten me with a good time! I ❤️ it!
I live in Texas that last story is straight up embarrassing. My family and I still wear our masks because it's nice not catching the flu or a cold all we have to deal with is our allergies.
Exactly.
I sure wish it helped more with allergies lol. My seasonal ones have been awful lately.
I hope you're equally embarrassed to have that putz Abbott for a governor. I've heard enough stories about him. No judgment on you personally, just on the system as a whole which put a guy like that in power. Hard to say if Beto is any better. Good luck with the upcoming election!
Same here-the only colds I catch are the ones my kids bring home, and not having seasonal allergies or noroviruses is a definite bonus!
@@Emeraldwitch30 I know the feeling I have allergies and asthma so when they act up I'm down for the count on doing much if I don't take a bunch of allergy medicine
The last story reminded me of a co-worker of mine. She was a complete anti-gay and anti-gay idiot. She would challenge anyone and everyone over getting the vaccine and wearing a mask. While I never wish anything bad to happen to anyone, all I can say is that karma struck in a way she will never forget. She caught covid, and spread it to her husband and her two preteen kids. She also infected her parents, and sadly, she lost them both to Covid as well as losing her 8 year old daughter, and almost her 11 year old son. He ended up on a respirator for over a month, and is still in physical therapy and occupational therapy. Her husband has left her, and was awarded full custody of their son after she went on a massive rant about the vaccine and masks and blamed her parents and daughter's deaths on them being weak mentally and physically. Now she's alone, and she's in quarantine because she's got the Omnicom B5 variant. It is so sad that she destroyed her family all for her warped political views. I'm all for fighting for our constitutional rights, and freedom to choose, but I will never gamble with my children's lives or my wife or my parents lives to prove my political beliefs. That it the ultimate act of selfishness, and complete lack of caring or empathy for your loved ones. She's basically destroyed her life, and nearly took her husband and son's life. Then she blamed her parents and her own young daughter for their own deaths, which is so wrong. There's a special place in h*ll for her and others just like her.
Not anti-gay it should be anti-vax and anti-mask.
The South was terrible about the masks.
@@paulahik211 not only the south. America lost an average of three years of life expectancy due to being too dumb collectively
It's people like her that keep me masked and carrying hand sanitizer. I'm fighting hard enough to STAY alive with my own medical crap .. COVID isn't fun... I am very thankful for the vaccines and new medicine because even as careful as I am... I caught it and it definitely wasn't fun... But I stayed out of the hospital and I made it to the other side. People are too fucking selfish I wear a mask in theory to protect OTHERS and everyone else is protecting others from them because there are asymptomatic super spreaders that never know that they have it until the people around them start dropping like flies . I've lost several people I cared about to Covid....I think wearing a mask is the least people can do...
I am so glad she got karma. I just wish it could have happened to her without the death of her child and parents! That is so disgusting and so f****** unnecessary! I used to work with someone who was a total b**** but she didn't get the vaccine and she didn't wear masks and didn't require her child to either, sadly her very best friend died from covid which ended up destroying her family because her daughter wasn't the biological child of her husband. Sadly the child's biological father was a piece of garbage and then the family wouldn't allow the stepfather to keep custody of the little girl so the poor little girl not only lost her mother, but lost the only father she ever knew and had to move to a different state away from all her friends and all her classmates! The stupid CO worker as devastated as she was, about what happened with the little girl, and the loss of her best friend still doesn't wear a mask and still didn't get vaccinated. 🙄
I'm a teacher, and the first year of COVID, we were virtual. The second year, we were allowed to be in person but to have our masks on. Fighting all those who did not want to wear it was a second job onto itself. The mask mandate SUCKED, but we all as a society have a duty to help each other in this time to make sure we minimize any threat. When we act selfishly, we start contributing to the problem rather than the solution.
The mask mandates didn't help society at all. You just did your duty to prove what a good little sheep you are
It sucked to hear about all the teachers and kids getting sick, especially with some of the locals ranting about how kids can't get sick and some of my distant relatives who work in Healthcare reporting the horror of seriously sick kids.
As stressful as it's all been, congrats on making to a less stressful time still able to say "am a teacher."
@@totalldwarf640 Can you prove that it did not help? Because I can prove that it did. We had less infections until the mandate was lifted, then the number of scholars and teachers getting infected at my school tripled without masks.

I’d love to see a full version of this. You’re just so mesmerising to watch.
My younger sister still wears masks bc she is introverted. My mom, sis, and I wear masks because most of my town's population consists of the elderly (including my own mom). For me; it's because of allergies and some issues that could be PCOS. With so many styles of masks out there, who wouldn't want to have things like animal fangs on their face for a shopping trip?
As a retail worker I smile inside when the jerks threaten to never to come back, they don't realize that is exactly what we want!
My daughter n i happily wore masks. We didn't want to get sick. Her n i were the only people we knew that didn't get sick. We lost people we loved. RIP to all those who had their lives stolen from covid 19🙏
I'm still wearing a mask in spite of most other people not doing it nowadays. Why? Because F 'em, I want to, that's why. I might just wear a mask from now on, everywhere I go, just because I can.
i never wore/wear a mask unless im forced to. i got the flu while wearing a mask in a store, it was the only time i got sick during all this.
I'm from Saskatchewan, Canada and our provincial government took our mask mandate away as of today (I'll probably still wear mine) and my company took away our pre- screening today as well (you had to do that so my company knows you are double vaccinated and got your two boosters).😊🇨🇦
@@satansecretary665 Masks have little to no effect on a virus. They are for BACTERIA!! I only wore a mask where it was required, and I'm in my 70's, smoke, and am slightly overweight.

@@Mrs_Sugar_Min what?? they didn't require 6 boosters? report them!
Of course that mask story had to come from Texas!
Before COVID I was working 8-12 hour days 5-6 days a week on a farm. After COVID I spent 9 months with fatigue so bad I needed a nap after doing the dishes and daily migraines among a laundry list of other symptoms. To this day I still get tired more easily than before and I have to work around my migraines which are easily triggered. I'm also asthmatic and claustrophobic. I hate wearing a mask, but still wear one in public spaces. Maybe I am living in fear. I don't know. But I'd rather deal with claustrophobia than lose another year of my life to this shit.
I have had 2 more rounds since then that were much easier. I'm assuming due to the vaccine. But they also came with the immediate follow up of a month long sinus infection each. So... Yeah. I'll wear a mask just to avoid the sinus infection.
#2 indecency depends on jurisdiction, and willingness of another to call the cops. If I got a complaint if I wore something like a naked lady on a tee, I would just flip the shirt inside out and go about my day
The last story I do understand their pain even though I had a really hard time during the mask mandates. I have breathing issues that make it extreamly difficult to breathe if I am outside on particularly windy day. I can't wear scarves or thick masks over my face because a reflexively stop breathing when the air from my breathing is redirected back into my nose or mouth. So I basically had to spend 6+ months of constantly having to focus on forcing myself breathe whenever I had to wear a mask or risk passing out (I actually did black out a few times at work). I still complied but if all possible I avoided wearing a mask but was also very careful to regulate my breathing and be respectful of distance and limiting touching items unless I was definitely getting it.
Last story: I can immediately tell what his mother has been teaching him
Yeah, if that’s how he treats his mom in public, just imagine what he says to her in private. But she raised him 🤷🏽♀️
Might be something he picked up from dad. Mom seemed to half heartedly try before caving. Never underestimate what someone in survival mode will compromise to make it to the next day.
TL;DR, guessing he picked up habits from a mysoginistic abusive dad who probably also abuses mom.
I STILL wear a mask! I ENJOY not being sick!
I was near the head of a checkout line when the woman in front of me said, "Will you hold my place? I just want to grab one more thing." I nodded, figuring that she had plenty of time.
Then a new register opened and the cashier said she could help the next customer, which was me.
The woman came back, her place in line was gone, and her cart had been pushed aside. She insisted loudly that she should be able to cut in line because "someone" was holding her place.
By this time I had paid so I just left. I don't know how they handled it.
Is there etiquette that covers this?
Okay the third story The if you snap your fingers around a common snapping turtle there's a slight chance it could bite your fingers off but all will do is just give you a scar but if you snap your fingers in front of an alligator snapping turtle your fingers would be permanently gone
A place having a Discord channel for work is both surprising and unsurprising at the same time.
