I had a lady and her two kids not wearing a mask, when I told her we require them she just says "I know" and proceeds to order :/ really makes you see red tbh

Just don’t serve them.

I wish I could go back in time 😩 I have put my foot down from here on out.
MrBalderus [OP] 1 points 2y ago
My general response is "You need to either wear a mask or order through the Drive Through, you are not allowed in this store without a mask on."

I told a man this week, “it’s fine I can hear you. Please keep your mask on.” And then he ordered while digging in his wallet and texting so his chin was on his chest and he mumbled everything. I asked him to repeat his name and he finally picked up his head to sneer, “oh you can hear me just fine with the mask huh???” you motherfucker-

Antimaskers may lack empathy and common sense, but they have plenty of audacity.

Had a lady curse out one of our new baristas bc of this last weekend :/

That truly does suck.

Thankfully, since I'm a shift. My baristas can just have me come to their aid if a customer is being horrible.

I don’t even ask. I just say “pull that up for me, please”, and they all comply. Don’t make requests. Issue confident mandates.

I hate when you say that and they don’t cover their nose!,
MrBalderus [OP] 26 points 2y ago
"Your mask needs to cover your nose." Is currently my most repeated line behind "Hot or Iced?"
noeyoureatowel 7 points 2y ago
Those two plus “what size?” tho
Ajskdjurj 6 points 2y ago
And they still don’t listen!!

MrBalderus [OP] 13 points 2y ago
Thanks! I'm happy to hear that! I'm planning on doing more comics detailing customer experiences.

Every time someone does this i want to lower my mask as well while I make their drinks or get their food and see how they feel about it. I would never actually do it though.

I am my store’s mask police but somehow I still get anxiety when it comes to this specific situation. 🙃

Same, I try to enforce it as much as I can (if they seem reasonable) but I’m just too scared of confrontation to do it every time. None of the managers or workers care either so I just feel pushy and judged by everyone when I ask customers to wear one.

I feel this so much. It’s so exhausting.

We had an anti masker today too! What the actual fuck is wrong with those people

A lady came in today with a mask that had a completely see through panel for her mouth. It looked so fucking weird. One of the new people literally lol'd at her.
piercinginhalation 12 points 2y ago
If it was an actual clear panel
and not just a piece missing, it was most likely for the benefit of Deaf/hoh people who read lips
Critical50 4 points 2y ago
I didnt think about that.

It just looked super odd.

This interaction fuels my hate fire
ThatGuyPsychic 1 points 11m ago
I would always just take a very visible and obvious step backwards to get more space between me and them. Not much but the subtle action of showing someone you don't want to be near them does wonders for destroying their mental health 😌
