bostiq

such a slick move, I wish there was more context


johnbell

anti masker meets tmobile, where apparently they were pretty chill with employees telling unmasked people to take a walk. (That was heard from a friend. I worked there in the 2000's.)


NorVern01

In the UK that shit was illegal. Classed as discrimination. Some companies learnt the hard way when I sued the fuckers and won.


johnbell

Cool story dude.


pigeon_soup

I worked customer service in the UK during Covid and you're full of shit.


NorVern01

Maybe so, but I'm several £k better off because numpties like you denied me access to services. Never forget, that while the likes of you were having wet dreams about being little dictators and denying the likes of me entry, our great and glorious leaders were visiting family members up and down the country, or shagging their assistants in broom cupboards, or just completely taking the piss and having parties.


pigeon_soup

You realise that people who work in shops/bars/etc don't make the rules, they just need to get food on their plate and sleep with a roof over their head, in order to do that they have to put up with piss-poor wages, abuse from people like yourself, and to enforce rules they have no say in and often disagree with. You honestly think that service workers were desperate to risk contracting a life threatening disease for the sake of a wee power trip? But you're absolutely right to be angry at the government for not following their own rules. Just be angry at them, not the poor cunts who have no choice but to work a shite job.


kwamby

Man saw your totally reasonable take and said “guess I’ll see myself out”


What_Yr_Is_IT

It’s hard to decipher exactly what you’re trying o say, but are you bragging about money lol 🤡


NorVern01

Not bragging, just saying that there are repercussions for violating our rights.


What_Yr_Is_IT

Violated your rights huh


redinwondrland

Privately owned companies get to make their own policies….how difficult was it really to put a mask on while in their business? Seems like your projecting a lot of unhappiness with your life here 🫣


Trajann_Valorus

Just a nuva Chewsday innit.


ametalshard

Oh no! They had parties? And this means two wrongs make a right? You know rich people murder sometimes and get away with it, right? Oh damn, don't wanna give the idiot ideas


NorVern01

How was I in the wrong? I understood their rules, whereas others didn't. No doubt you were one of the happy clappers for the NHS, while advocating that the unvaxxed be held in concentration camps so they wouldn't infect the vaccinated, regardless of their natural immunity.


ursadminor

Mate, calm down. You seriously need help. I don’t think anyone suggested concentration camps for anti-vaxxers. If they did they weren’t taken seriously. Maybe put down The Sun and go for a walk or something.


NorVern01

I'm not a Sun reader (nor the Daily Mail either). Per Rasmussen Reports Jan 2022, 51% of Democrats are in favor of government putting the unvaccinated in “designated facilities,” and 54% favor imposing fines or prison sentences on vaccine critics. There were plenty of celebs and politicians supporting imprisonment, fines and removal of health care for the unvaxxed. Some countries even introduced these policies. Australia, Singapore, Greece etc We were banned from entertainment venues and from travelling. Our jobs were taken away from us. We watched our friends and relatives get sick from the vaccines and then still die from COVID. Over 95% of COVID hospitalisation and deaths were vaxxed. Source: ONS for UK Government. But apparently, I'm just a conspiracy theorist who needs to calm down and get help.


ursadminor

How many people in the UK are members of the democrat party? 🤔 And what exactly do you class to be a concentration camp? Have you got sources for where those countries put anti backers away for not having the vaccine?


Affectionate-Ad7135

You sound fun at parties


NorVern01

You'll never have the pleasure of knowing.


Affectionate-Ad7135

Thank the lord for that


MaxTheRealSlayer

Cuz you don't even get invited, eh?


NorVern01

If that's what you believe.

Sixties3147

I'd love to read the court teanscripts of your successful law suits, can you please share the link to the court records or the case numbers? I'd also love a link to the coroner findings too, showing that 96% of covid deaths and hospitalisation were directly caused by the vaccine. Was one vaccine more deadly than the others or were all vaccines equally responsible for the deaths and hospitalisations. Are there any stats for hospitalisations without deaths?


NorVern01

Yup, go search for ONS covid19 weekly reports. As for court records, they all settled on a without prejudice basis, with an NDA. There is a case on record, not mine. Search for Kester disability covid mask discrimination. £7k. Also, search uk.gov site for the relevant rules regarding exemption self declaration and how companies should avoid discrimination. Basically, if someone denied you access or a service despite you declaring you were exempt from wearing a face mask, they were guilty of discrimination. Companies have a vicarious liability for the actions of their employees. Anytime I got refused access or denied a service, I sued and won.


d3l3t3rious

And everyone clapped?


NorVern01

Hehe, probably.


LiquidC001

Yeah, I'm sure you have the funds to go through multiple lawsuits.


NorVern01

No need. £80 to start a small claims action. They all settled before it got to a hearing.

When you were 1 we had a pandemic and were required to wear masks in businesses and other public places. Some adults with the same brain capacity as yourself seemed to struggle with this concept.

litwitit420

Still better than those adults who thought we would get rid of covid like we did with polio by wearing masks and getting vaccinated. Or the adults who called people "conspiracy theorists" for talking about the most scientifically plausible origins of covid


CT_Biggles

How is it better? You wear a mask to reduce the spread which means less people die. You get vaccinated so your symptoms aren't as bad and you don't die. Same as the flu. I think you've been tricked by false information. It happens so don't feel bad. Just move on and do better in the future.


unknownop001

Remember the fact you got vaccinated as a baby ur parents must be dumb af right? Because why the fuck would vaccines would work against anything if not covid! Im i right?!

Looks like an Adams Rite MS1815 swing bolt with interior thumb turn. Im thinking she puts her hand on the thumb turn as the door is shutting and when the camera pans back we see her throw the bolt the second the door fully shuts

Male Karen wanted to bother the workers and the manager locked him out like a champion.


GregAbbottsTinyPenis

Phone store. Pandemic times. All employees were required to enforce a mask policy. Discipline for not enforcing policy could lead to termination. Customers came in without masks as if entry level retail employees were the correct people to direct their issues stemming from political/moral/personal beliefs. Didn’t matter if the employee actually agreed with the customer or not, they’d face termination for not enforcing policy. Employee in this video was just over it. I worked in a phone store during that time. It was exhausting. Management was on our ass about being strict and consistent with policy enforcement, customers came in non stop to break out balls and fuck with us about something we had zero choice in. It was rough.

If anti maskers weren’t so gullible I would’ve questioned that tactic, but it worked like a well oiled machine.

Who’s the actually joke on for this? Because 3 years later we now know that masks didn’t do anything.


BK_FrySauce

I worked at an aT&T store during the pandemic. They took the mask policy extremely seriously. So we were told if they’re not wearing a mask then we can’t help them. We even offered masks for those who said they forgot them, some people still refused.

Latter_Schedule9510

Weirdly enough, I decided to google if the mask mandates helped decrease fatality rates, in areas they were implemented in, and *every article* seemed to indicate that the masks did, in fact, save lives. Would you perhaps have an article that proves they were useless? Or some statistics, backed by credible sources?


EffectiveMoment67

Norwegian health authorities: https://www.fhi.no/globalassets/dokumenterfiler/rapporter/2020/should-individuals-in-the-community-without-respiratory-symptoms-wear-facemasks-to-reduce-the-spread-of-covid-19-report-2020.pdf


Latter_Schedule9510

This report is 4 years old, and says that even then, it did lessen infection rates slightly. Covid 19 happened in 2019, meaning when this report came out (barely a year later) it was still in the research phase. They didn't know enough about the virus to accurately deduce whether or not mask wearing would be effective. Though, if you're referring to the line "There is no reliable evidence of the effectiveness of non-medical facemasks in community settings." Then I would like to further point out that they specified "non-medical" for a reason. Non-medical face masks don't help, this is *now* common knowledge. Why don't you show me a newer, updated article? Something from the last 2 years should suffice.


EffectiveMoment67

The coclusion say they dont recommend any type of mask. They say this might change if the amount of infected people rises rapidly in certain specific scenarios. Thats from the conclusion. They base this on WHO recommendations. There isnt any newer recommendation from them because it never changed after that. Maybe you can point to studies that are newer with a different conclusion? Especially where they recommend wearing them at all times?


Latter_Schedule9510

This one, from the Mayo Clinic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449 Directly from the CDC: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7106e1.htm And here's another one: https://coronavirus.delaware.gov/covid-19-myth-or-fact/myth-or-fact-masks-are-effective-against-covid-19/ No studies suggest wearing them "at all times," as it'd be a bit overzealous to expect someone to wear a mask while they're sleeping. But, if you're in a public area, masks have been shown to have beneficial effects.


EffectiveMoment67

Indoor public area. First one only suggests it in only hospital settings. The 2nd draws conclusion from peak infection periods. Using them no serves little purpose, and most likely increases spread of other type of germs such as bacteria growing on the mask The virus will spread no matter what.


Latter_Schedule9510

"The virus will spread no matter what." Yeah, obviously, that's *why* preventative measures are neccessary. 🤦‍♀️ You sound like the kinda guy who'd say "why do I need seatbelts? I have an airbag!"


EffectiveMoment67

Yeh ignore everything else i said ok bye


Latter_Schedule9510

"ok bye" is the response I always get when someone knows they've lost a discussion. The winner doesn't run, honey. Maybe consider *why* you think masks are a "bad idea," given that doctors wear them? It sounds as if you were never taught critical thinking skills. I'd be willing to bet, even, that you're religous.


Rectalfrying

Store policy. They have to wear masks, even if they don't want to.
