I wish that there was a way for Twitter and other places to take care of those bots. For me, if I am looking at social media of my own and who is pushing for this, it's absolutely the older part of the workforce. Lol they absolutely do but it would piss off half of america so they dont do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacReady Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 14 hours ago, Xenos said: I'm assuming the guy who took it away is also a manager. No one probably wanted to confront him before either. It's a difficult situation when it comes to conflict and confrontation. As someone who had to deal with things like this in the past (I worked at a bank for a long time), it's incredibly hard on my nerves especially when I was in a supervisory role. You want to ease conflict but sometimes customers just lack common sense. I remember being yelled at and threatened because I wouldn't give this guy tens of thousands of dollars because he forgot his ID. Obviously, I should have recognized him right off the bat and given him exactly what he wanted since he was such a valuable customer I love the confrontation and being able to put unruly customers in their place. They think they can threaten me with contacting corporate, but contacting corporate does absolutely nothing as long as it's a policy issue. They can't do ****. What sucks is how well these petulant intimidation attempts work on so many people. The guy in the video probably strutted around waiting, internally begging to be confronted on it, and some other employees probably said something to him and he probably intimidated his way out of wearing a mask until that manager came along and was tired of the BS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excess deaths are around 51,000 so may be even higher. 95% have serious comorbidity. Deaths in hospitals are now below average. IFR heavily influenced by age. But does look like a above 1% IFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A source: https://www.mylondon.news/news/health/london-coronavirus-live-fears-london-18292953 My guess is that's a more realistic IFR, across the UK I suspect a lot have contracted the disease in care facilities and hospitals, making IFR look higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
