I had 'fasting blood work' this morning, which meant no food or drink after midnight.
After I left the lab, I stopped at a favorite food spot to get some take out.
As I waited for my order to be prepared, a man walked in and placed an order.
The cashier politely told him that for her to accept his order, he needed to pull his mask up to cover his mouth and nose.
He was wearing the mask under his chin.
He got real angry, verbally abusive, insisting that the sign on the door simply said he had to 'wear a mask'
and he insisted on talking to the manager.
A man came out from the kitchen area, looking about 6' 6" and maybe 275 pounds of hard body.
The angry customer just turned around and walked out the door.

A couple came in and the waitress just told them they had to have a mask. They just left.

(8,790 posts)Caskets and ash urns will be harder to get than toilet paper was in March. Grave sites will be 3-4 tiers high. Real estate will be too costly and in short supply. I remember the battle in rural areas when those counties tried to condemn land to build new land fills after filling up one after another. Everyone said not back back yard. But will not recycle. Wait until mass Covid burial sites need to be created.

(66,436 posts)A long time ago, long before I began my medical career, I was a bank teller. I was good enough that I got promoted to head teller and teller trainer.
As in every other kind of job with retail features like walk-up counters, bank tellers have to put up with a lot of abuse from nasty, shitty customers.
One time, one of my tellers, a sweet young lady no older than nineteen, and about 4'10", was getting yelled at by a monstrous old dirtbag for something that was completely beyond the teller's control.
Now I'm a peaceful guy, and hate confrontations, but I was lucky enough to inherit my father's build, broad-shoulders and a deep chest. I walked up to the teller window. "Is there a problem here, sir?"
He looked at me, grumbled something that sounded like an attempt to save face, and slunk away.
I wanted to shout after him: "You cowardly son-of-a-bitch! You can yell and scream at this tiny, polite young lady, but you don't have the stones to yell at me?"
I didn't, but I was pissed off for a couple of days after that.

However he always issued these claims from his safe space. I was always hoping he'd take a camera outside and show us; watching him get his face punched down his throat would be the highlight of my year.
