I was just at the grocery store this afternoon and I asked the young male employee stocking in the frozen food section what was going on with the shelves not all being stocked like normal?
Him ... labor, mostly from the main warehouse getting shipments out, we are having issues like every other business to find people to work.
Of course he’s wearing a mask (all the employees are)
Me ... it has nothing to do with any vaxx mandates then?
Him ... no, they encourage it but it’s not mandated.
Me ... that’s good because if it was I’d have to shop somewhere else..
Him ... looked a little surprised
Me ... I don’t agree with the vaxx mandates. No one should tell you what to put in your body.
Him ... I agree.... I got the shot but that was my choice.
Me ... and I’m on the other side where I won’t get the shot, I’ve already had it so now have the antibodies.
Him ... hasn’t had it yet.
Me ... you know even though you got the shot it doesn’t mean you can’t still get sick, right?
Him ... yeah I know you can have break through covid.
Me ... (in my head 🤦♀️) I said .. yeah, there’s no such thing as “break through covid.” Being he was shocked I said .. you do know that the PCR tests are not accurate right?
Him ... what do you mean?
Me ... well they can’t tell whether you have covid, the flu or a cold, so the CDC told doctors/hospitals they will have to find other means to check for covid after Dec.
Him ... complete shock.
Me ... well it was nice talking to you I’ll let you get back to work.
At least he doesn’t think badly of other people deciding not to get it and it’s everyone’s own personal choice. Maybe he will do some researching of his own now. I was tempted to say more, like what doctors to look up for information, but I left it alone. I didn’t want to freak him out more than I already did, figured I gave him enough to dig for info himself if he’s curious. It seemed like he was interested in what I was saying, probably because he hadn’t heard any of it before now.
I work in a grocery store and we have trouble getting all sorts of stuff. We have almost no juice boxes for months now and are also totally out of all cream cheeses, just to name two. It's weird. I suspect it will continue and will probably get worse as time goes on. Good news is, I work for a major East Coast supermarket chain and I have not one inkling of a vax mandate. Other than friendly talk among my crew, no one has ever mentioned the vaccine to me. We are also having alot of trouble getting people to work, but that is for many reasons and is across the board.
