@Tasuki Approach it by apologising. I would really like to help you. But my company has health and safety policies. If I’m seen on the security camera serving someone without a face mask. I would be in breach of those health and safety policies and could be fired. To me the risk of one additional sale isn’t worth it when I could fail a audit and lose my job.

Blame the rules blame the system. Sympathise with the customer but computer says no. I’ve always found people except I need to follow the rules for me far more easily than me implying they are bad or wrong for breaking the rules.

If possible get a little screen with a face recognition camera set up outside showing a no entry sign every time it detect someone not wearing a mask so you don’t have to explain it to them in person.

@Tasuki I think that the face covering issues people seem to have transcend ethnicity and seem more to do with education, political leanings and probably social economic rationales.

I just don't get the anger and madness about wearing a mask. It is really basic and obvious science. Covid is spread by droplets, you then but a barrier up and there are less droplets. We have been covering our nose and mouth when sneezing and coughing since we were kids.

I get really angry when I see people with a mask but it not covering their nose or pulled aside.

Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot

C'mon, that is an absolutely horrid thing to write. No one deserves the way black people are treated.
There are also plenty, plenty of a******* white people who refuse to wear masks who are quite vicious about it, too.

@Rudy_Manchego That’s my pet hate, people who wear a mask but under their nose. Like... it’s supposed to cover all that junk, it defeats the purpose.

First thing first, I'm typing from Melbourne, where we've recently come off lockdowns, with similar results to New Zealand.

Oh, we still get protests (mostly white people) about the restrictions, but our numbers in Victoria are now regularly hitting zero with the use of mandatory face masks.

This is not a BLM issue!

To think otherwise is frankly borderline idiotic.

Yes, there can be PoC that may have issue with mask wearing, but that never needs to be stereotyped into BLM, because it isn't. White people are just as bad, even worse.

I'd suggest looking into the Karens that refuse to wear masks.

And yes, people that wear the mask under their nose deserve to be looked at like they're some special type of degenerate.

@Tasuki If you've been harassed or threatened by black people more often that's on them. Not a race issue whatsoever. Those jackasses make up a vocal minority, but a minority nonetheless. That entire segment of people don't deserve that kind of oppressive treatment just because of the actions of a few

If some of them refuse to wear a mask, that's on them. There are plenty of other people who'd be wise enough to do otherwise because it's just basic common sense and they're more sensitive towards what's going on in the world at the moment.

In these trying times, there is a mask we must all wear. The mask of tolerance.

Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.

Well done to those who made the challenge. There will be times in life when we have unpleasant experiences with individuals for reasons that aren't always obvious. We must always remember not to tar people with the same brush, it's a very dangerous road to go down.

Having difficulty with a few people that happen to share a certain characteristic and then suggesting that the hundreds of millions / billions with that same characteristic all have a problem.. It's a terrible thing to believe.

You lot across the pond have a weird electoral system. It’s like watching the Eurovision results but less fun.

Spent 7 hours drinking alcohol and watching election results with the family. That was... demoralizing.

edit: Well, the President of the United States just prematurely declared victory and said he's going to go to the supreme court (stacked with HIS appointees now, including one whose seat that was basically stolen from his predecessor) to stop the states from counting the millions of outstanding votes left in play. A lot of us have suspected this would be the play all along if the vote was close, but it's a bit surreal to see it actually start happening IRL.

The world gets to watch a coup happen in real time.

@Ralizah
Here in Indonesia, there was a shameful premature victory declaration when we had an election to choose the president between Prabowo and Jokowi.

Mr Prabowo had claimed his premature victory of being the next president and celebrated his premature victory by a celebration while the actual result Mr Jokowi still won the election and continued to be a president with new vice president.

@Ralizah Either way looks like he's going to win again. Unless those mail votes really make that big of a difference...

@nessisonett Eurovision has to be one of the most depressing events in existence.
