Went into a shop to get some velcro. Nice assistant didn't say anything about my not having a mask on. We chatted amiably and I told her the plastic face shield she had on and masks were useless and explained about Hazmat suits. She seemed interested and then a rona nazi marched up and told me to stop abusing the staff. I calmly replied I was merely talking to her and was ordered to use the hand sanitiser. I politely declined and asked why, since I was not touching anything.
COMPANY POLICY!
But I am not touching anything!
COMPANY POLICY!
I smiled and walked out. Stupid droids with IQs lower than their shoe size keeping the fakedemic going. Enough already.
Exactly. This sad specimen of humanity was beyond reason, the lady I was talking to looked very embarrassed. There was nothing more I could do except smile, shake my head and walk out. Thankfully I refrained from saying anything I'd have had to repent of :)
You never know how much impact a small conversation can have on someone's life! It may take awhile, but you've planted the seeds of hope
