I wanted to rewrite this post because my last one had a lot of on-the-fly edits and I think I can make this cleaner.
Here's what we should do:
-
Find people in your neighborhood/community who are sick of masks and want a change and invite them to participate. Start a facebook group or get people on a massive text chain or something like that.
-
Decide the dates and times you plan to do this. Get people to go in groups of at least 15, the bigger the better. That's disruptive, and frankly, people can go in all day in different shifts and keep it going.
-
Decide on the grocery store you wish to target.
-
Go in with masks on, grab a cart, and grab all the perishable goods (meat, cheese, milk, eggs, etc.) along with a few other things to make replacing things more time consuming.
-
Place your list with the demands on the top of the cart filled with items (it will say "replace your 'masks required signs' with a 'we support your constitutional rights--no masks required' signs and then these actions will stop.")
-
Walk your cart to the front of the store.
-
Leave it there and go home.
This way we:
-
Avoid physical confrontations
-
Avoid being identified so we can be charged with trespassing, etc.
-
Create real disruption for these business owners forcing them to change.
Got it! You are analyst - I guess? I have never been good at math! But makes more sense what you said!
Not an analyst, in purest sense. In software and software consulting. So, a lot of my history is “how to make efficient the metrics that matter to those paying for millions in software and system investment.“
From that perspective, you know what no metrics.capture or care about? What already-paid-for-time is spent doing.
If I know I'm paying someone $10 an hour to restock and I've budgeted 20h a week to do it (3h a night) for non-perishables that never go bar, who cares if it takes a couple or three days of work to put it back? No $$ difference.
However, if.perishables have to be put back in a couple hours, I might need another stocker, or another cashier. that's an extra person. If it's happening every couple days, that's either an extra hire or more hours or spoiled.inventory.
One hits metrics and bonuses, all the way up (in aggregate) one doesn't.
Perishables hits the ones that.get measured.
You are a very smart PEDE! Guess I need to go shopping tomorrow!
If you're in Texas or OK, just make sure to not freeze! If they have any ice melt, don't leave it in the cart... buy it all and let me know if I can get some too... wwg1wga!!
