Boss told me today that there was two separate incidences of customers complaining to corporate because I was helping them load their purchases into their vehicles without wearing a mask. The parking lot is usually around 100F this time of year in the afternoon. Loading 80 pound bags of concrete causes me to breath in a lot of air, I'll admit it to that crime right now. Boss told me today per CDC guidelines that I have to wear a mask anytime I'm closer than 6 feet to customers. However, they aren't the least bit concerned if I pass out and split my head open on the pavement due to a lack of oxygen while loading concrete.

Not enough courage to ask you to wear the mask themselves, they need to be passive aggressive shits about it
typical spineless NPCs
Tell them to back up?
I used to volunteer to help customers load their vehicles even when not being told to. But now, I'd have to wear the mask before approaching them with my assistance. So what that does is give me an incentive not to help them. It's a shame because I actually enjoy the rush of handling concrete. I used to tell the customers that I'm there to get my exercise and keep my strength up. Not gonna happen anymore.
Sorry to hear that. Find a new job. Employers are in desperate need of employees right now.
Find a new job. You can make a ton of money now without having to haul concrete, or wear a mask.
Yep, learn a trade.
Working in 100 degree temps with a sweaty mask? Have you tried waterboarding? I'd find an attorney to sue some corporate ass for violating OSHA regulations and extreme abuse.
"I can assist you and load your stuff, but I have a medical condition that prevents me from using a mask. Please maintain 6 ft and I'll help you. "
Tell the customers to get in their car and close the door, or move back because you need to breathe
outside?
Yes outside either in the parking lot or the loading zone.
Check out the symptoms of heat stroke/exhaustion and use it!
Wear the mask and pretend to faint and bump your head on the customer's vehicle. File an injury report with your company and see a doctor. Claim to have constant headaches and PTSD. Make money from your company without working, for as long a you want.
I used to like people a lot more.
