Mojo121 229 Posted July 21, 2020 Are we classed as shops or showrooms? Are customers required to wear them? If it does apply to us from what I understand of the new law employees/ workers at these shops aren’t mandated to wear the masks but customers are. Make sense of that? It’s also not our responsibility to enforce if it applies to us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stupid woman , fancy shouting at you , To filter a Virus we would all need hazmat suits , Some cotton face covering that doesn't even get get washed for a guess makes no difference to virus size particles . Just to keep us reminded about the word Covid , masks are a visual aid to keep the virus alive in our heads that,s all they will do . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave2302 387 Posted July 21, 2020 Yes, I wear one out of respect for the wishes of others, I have one in each of our Vehicles so I don't forget it, it just sickens me that there are so many ignorant folks around up here right now !! Very brave ignorant bastards they are, I actually spent a day in the shop last week dealing with them, not once did I get shopping thrown around or verbal abuse ................ Fuckin cowards, but of course when the ladies are there on their own, these wankers get all brave and think they are clever !!

Complies with a FACE cover so if you dare Joking aside Does the public have to wear one then to visit us in a unit showroom? , or just in the office ?, but the office isn't a shop so I'm not sure . Read the reasons you might consider yourself exempt last night , whole list of ; well if it make you feel uncomfortable you dont need one , if you have to eat or drink you dont need one , lip readers dont need one , breathing problems you dont need one , in charge of people who might be unruly you dont one , Dont need to get a medical cert to prove otherwise if you are exempt or not . Sounds a total mix up if you get into the rules of yes or no , then whos going to question someone if they come in a showroom with both doors open wanting to spend a few thousand quid .

On the question of who is going to question someone if they come into a showroom? Er, you ! . Alleviate the problem by a simple sign "face coverings to be worn" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am just really pleased the government's not put the burden on us to ensure that customers comply, I thought it might have gone that way . Would I serve a customer wanting to spend "a few thousand quid" but refuses to wear a face covering in a enclosed public place ? Where I work ? Where other customers are / may enter ? NO !

Dave2302 387 Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) Here's my own sad but true light hearted take on all this C-19 bullshit .................. The powers that be say "Go to work, don't go to work" "Get the bus, don't get the bus" "Wear a mask, don't wear a mask" ........... If you are exempt you have no legal requirement to wear a mask ......... One of the exemptions is "If you are uncomfortable wearing a mask" .......... There is no "proof" of exemption (i.e. Doctors Letter etc) required ........... You can now print your own little "I'm Exempt" Stickers to put on your lapel, jumper, hoodie, shell suit etc etc from off the internet Everyone and his dog is now working /\ /\ /\ that one out, so guess what, everyone and his dog is now saying they are exempt and the Police / CPS / Procurator Fiscal would not be able to prosecute successfully, even if they actually wanted to do some proper work with the resources available .............. When every other one of your Customers has started that old malarky, like all the Tourists and some locals up here have in Mels grocery stores shop, you might as well shut the business up if you exercise your rights not to serve all of them !! But guess what, unless someone is wearing a sealed air fed mask and dragging a compressor etc along behind them, they will risk catching it anyway because the run of the mill masks don't work with microscopic virus particles anyway !! Medical scientists fact, not mine or Face - glued - screen - book bullshit Do they significantly reduce the risk ? Do they actually reduce the risk at all ? ............ Very unlikely unless some twat sneezes or coughs a grolly on your moosh !! Which was the whole reason for the 2m distance in the first instance If the Govt now told everyone on telly, social media etc etc that repeated wanking prevented you from catching C-19 then a large proportion of the population would be wankers ................... Oh wait !! If it wasn't so fuckin' true it'd be funny I do believe if I'm gonna catch it c'est la vie .............. The only other viable option is to become a snowflake and go into "Fear and Self Isolation Mode" for the foreseeable Edited July 25, 2020 by Dave2302 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
