Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWent to Costco today...EVERYONE had a mask on, and then THIS GUY
wearing a MAGA hat tries to enter without one. The man at the "check your membership card" at the door said, "Sir, you can't come in here without a mask". Dude was all "I don't HAVE to wear a mask, I have a medical card". The man at the door replied, "Sir, if your medical condition is such that you can't wear a mask in this store, you might want to get home and have someone else shop for you, or avail yourself of our website and shop online"
Maga Dude: "I am NOT wearing a mask"
Costco employee: "Then you are NOT entering this store."
Ten minutes later, at the other side of the store...I saw the dude, MAGA hat and all...wearing a fucking mask.
That is how it's done folks. Stand up to them. Every. effing. time.

(32,917 posts)Anything coming from China is taking way longer than 6 weeks. I'm still waiting for some clothing I ordered, and it's been almost 3 months. The USPS has it now but they're taking their sweet time about bringing it to me. Long story short, I won't order anything again unless it's "in stock" and ready to ship.

(32,917 posts)Another shipping partner - unnamed and shielded by the postal service - just turned the packages over only a couple days ago. The postal service has to deal with customers' complaints and fury, but it's the shipping partners that are screwing everybody. Also at least part of the delay is in customs, which is controlled by the federal gov't but not the postal service. So the only thing I know for sure is that my packages left China on June 16th.

(32,917 posts)When they say it's "in stock" you can believe them - it's in a US warehouse and it will ship immediately.
When they say "ships in X weeks" ... that's what I don't believe any more. Maybe they will ship it then, but I won't get it then. Sadder but wiser.

(24,382 posts)my trip will leave on time and be delivered on time.
NONE of the delays people are encountering are because ANY postal worker is "taking their sweet time about bringing it" to you or ANYONE.
If the douchenozzle Trump appointed nitwit heading the USPS is to blame for any slowdown, then blame THAT ASSHOLE, not the millions of Postal workers who take their jobs seriously, but have to work as they are instructed with the tools they are given.

(6,154 posts)I believe that cutting overtime is what is hurting, because I think y'all put in a lot of overtime to make sure the mail got delivered.
Our mail service has not been consistent, and I'll start using mail boxes. But I feel no hate. Only sadness that y'all are getting so screwed.

(6,933 posts)I was called when a patient reported a theft from their room. Security was also there. After questioning about the $500 they had in the their purse or wallet, we would offer to call the city police. Never had to call them, these were people who did not want to talk to the police, it was a bluff. They had been offered the chance to put any valuables in the hospital safe on admission.
They are probably pulling this crap now.

Thats the answer they give at a store I go to
So lets say they cant wear a mask ?they got it all set up right there at the door
with face shields for 5.99
A person can buy a mask for $1 to enter or a shield for $6 or go somewhere else

Although even back then they said a mask and a shield together is the most protective
but doctors were saying just less than 2 mos. ago stuff like this >
Dr. Amesh Adalja, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security told Insider it would be extremely unlikely for someone else's viral particles to penetrate your shield, unless someone "sticks their face, sticks themselves directly" where there is a hole.

There is no solid evidence about whether a shield is superior to a mask, protection-wise, but experts say there's no reason to think that face shields are necessarily inferior viral barriers
Oh boy all those people reading all these expert opinions from a month or so ago and have been going around with just a shield since then . Thanks for the latest
I never have had one because I find masks easier but I see many people in only a shield 😣

(4,292 posts)Even if he wasn't on the east coast of Florida -- in the path of (now) Hurricane Isaias -- he probably needed to refill his attic or garage with toilet paper, bottled water, chlorine bleach, other essentials.
As a señor citizen, I get to shop during their early hour (9 AM) which is limited to members age 60+. Last week, I saw the ID checker turn away two customers who were obviously younger. The associate was polite, but firm. The young'uns skulked back to their car. During that "golden hour" of shopping, I've noticed that the members there are more responsible, and that the lines at checkout are much, much shorter.
Doreen
(11,686 posts)I told them I have a friend who is blind and we shop together. They told me that only she could come in. I then asked if an employee would walk her through and help her shop. It takes us about an hour and a half to two hours. They quickly told me I could shop with her. It was funny how fast they changed their mind.

(14,337 posts)with one shopper in and one shopper out, there was an old man (70s?) in front of me not wearing a mask and holding a sheet of paper. When his turn to go in came, he handed that sheet of paper to the greeter, she looked at it quickly, and waved him inside.
Should the other customers on line have yelled at him, or demanded to read his paper? Maybe even without some phony medical paper, he should not be shopping at all at his age? At risk elderly people should be ordering their groceries online, having them delivered, and staying home?
Just curious what your reaction would be. BTW, I am 71 myself.

(9,953 posts)stay distance, wait for others, move out of way and she came thru right in the middle of it. It is a law here now. There always seems to be one. I kept going not watching to see, but she was surrounded by others waiting on her, so there is that. Most every one is doing it here. Just put a damn mask on when inside.
I walked into ATT and a third employees put hers on as soon as she saw me. The other two had theirs on.
711, every person that came in had one, and no one had a problem. Probably ten people coming and going.
