Most people I know are only wearing masks now if they catch colds and flus and don’t want to spread it when going out and in public.
Which seems to me to be when you’d WANT your food service employee (whom you probably forced to work while sick) to wear one, so that they don’t spread it to the rest of your staff. But I guess I’m not a fast food company corporate executive, so what do I know?
Yeah it’s bizarre how they’re acting. As a customer, I’d feel better if the people preparing the food I’m consuming were wearing masks. It’s like they took the total opposite of wanting to appease their customers.
Exactly. And this is no different than the way they behaved during the entirety of the lockdown anyway, so I don’t know why people are surprised that conservatives are still acting like conservatives have been acting for years.
I guess some of us keep hoping that now that we exist in the future and have objective data, results, facts, etc that we can stipulate truth from lies/propaganda and the right thing.
I don’t know a single person who wears a mask as a political statement. Even during the pandemic, it wasn’t common to think that way, no matter what the propaganda of the time said. People who wore them did it out of courtesy for those around them. I don’t imagine that has changed.
People who wear masks are usually wearing them because they don’t want to spread illness. Either they’re ill themselves or they have or know someone with an immunodeficiency that puts them at risk.
Same, but that’s not realistic for most individuals in these industries that don’t have sick days, medical benefits, and/or a financial cushion to afford a day(s) lost income.
Wearing a mask to help reduce the spread of bacteria/viruses to your customers/fellow employees seems like the most basic human courtesy we should all want/expect.
These corporate overlords that force their personal politics (on either side) at work need to go.
Makes sense. The challenge is the incubation period for most common colds is so long and variable that it’s really hard to pinpoint the source. Assuming they listen to some science.
The vast majority of people here do not wear masks. My frickin mom, who has cancer and a heart condition, has even stopped wearing one when she has an issue and has to go to the MFin emergency room. WTF. I had COVID like 2.5 years ago so probably alpha based on the timing and it was a mild case but it WRECKED me. My only symptom was a really bad headache one day then a mild headache for about a week where it just felt like I needed more coffee, any caffeine addicts out there would know what I mean. But after I had the worst cognitive defects that I could barely finish a sentence, couldn’t remember common words, etc. It was awful. It didn’t get better after vaccination, which I got for the first time about 2 months after the infection. I’m much better now but still not how I was. I don’t want to get this again even after having had it and all available vaccines and I can’t fathom why anyone else who has had it wants it again. I can’t understand sick and old people who walk around bare faced. I can’t understand healthy people who want to risk it. Why, people? Even the cancer center no longer requires a mask. It’s nuts.

It’s not bizarre at all, it’s typical attitudes of conservative bull-headed contrarian trolls like always.

I know, I know, I’ll see myself out.
Well it is bizarre from gastronomical industry point of view. They probably require wearing hair nets, but a snot on a burger is acceptable.
I guarantee you they wouldn’t require hairnets if they didn’t have to by law. They have to pay for those hairnets.

They’d rather everyone be sick and customers think no one is sick then to have customers think someone is sick because they’re wearing a mask
That’s probably it right there, the good old bury your head in the sand method.
Personally as a customer, I’d want them at home sick and getting better than in work at all in that condition.

Yeah I was just thinking I’d rather all food workers wear masks regardless of whether or not they’re carrying something.
To be fair, if you are soulless and going to make them work when they’re sick anyway, why would you care if they infected the rest of the staff?
If all your employees get sick, who’s labor are you supposed to exploit?
What about the customers though? Do you really want that traced back to your store? Seems like such a bad idea.
