DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Everything Else... Covid-19: Cases Continue

I think this weeks go to line will be, "You'll just have to learn to live with it."

That will be our federal government answer to a virus most of the rest of the globe seems to have a pretty good handle on. Most of Europe gave us a pretty good playbook on how to gain control on it and we ignore it.

Remember when Italy was the worst case scenario?

BEREA, Ohio (WJW)– An ice cream shop in Berea has a message for people who yell at employees: Respect them or go somewhere else.

Mootown Creamery posted on its Facebook page Tuesday morning about customers mistreating workers, who are mostly teenage girls, for wearing state-required masks during the coronavirus pandemic. The owner made the decision to also require guests to wear masks while in the store, saying it’s for the protection of employees and customers.

“Do you know how hard it is to work a summer rush in a face mask? With a line of customers to the door, some waiting outside, online orders dinging on a tablet, the phone ringing off the hook — and then have a customer throw a temper tantrum in the store calling the girls ‘paranoid’ or ‘anti-American’ or even worse – CUSS AT THEM! (Does it feel good to make a 16 year old girl cry in the bathroom? Or sob on her way home from work? Does that make you feel better about Covid? How would you feel if someone did this to your child?)” Mootown Creamery wrote.

The Ohio Department of Health issued mandatory protocols for restaurants when they were allowed to open for outdoor service on May 15 and indoor service on May 21. Businesses must require all employees to wear facial coverings, with a limited list of exceptions.

“Covid is one of the most awful things many of us have experienced in our lifetime. Our lives are flipped upside down. Businesses are closing. Some of us are still out of work. We are stressed out, worried, and frustrated. However that is no excuse to take out your frustrations on teenage kids serving ice cream! (Most of which this is their first job!) Are you serious?! What control do they possibly have over the situation?”

Mootown Creamery thanked customers who have been understanding and respectful. It also reminded patrons it offers curbside pickup, outdoor ordering and online ordering for those who do not want to wear face coverings.

Retail workers have always dealt with jackasses, because there’s a lot of them out there. It’s probably worse now because of all the stuff that’s going on.

You are certainly correct. But this?



They are sending the message they have been taught to send. Parroting the lowest common denominator. And it's sickening.

anyone screaming at a teenage worker like that simply needs to be slapped.

that would violate the CDC's 6ft. social distancing guideline.
I'd play it safe- and use a damned bat.

there is actually a forum much like this one out there for retail workers called customerssuck.com. I actually own it, lol (took it over a tad more than three years ago), though I rarely ever go there.

j/c...

Clearly, the Governor doesn't care about Toledo or Akron/Canton.

#AllCountiesMatter

Well .. had my COVID-19 test done so I can have a minor procedure done next week ..... and I don't have it.

My sister-in-law has it, but my brother does not.

Can anyone verify 2 things for me?

1. A t.v. station, wmfd out of mansfield, apparently reported that the state of Ohio is counting as positive not only each positive test, but if someone gets tested, and they are positive, then gets retested a week later - the state counts that as 2 positives. Get tested a week later? Positive? That's 3 positives - from 1 person.

2. Is the cdc counting positive cases AND positive for the antibody as positive? In other words, say I had it back in January. Felt blah for a little bit, but never got tested. If I were tested today, and had the antibody, but not the virus, would I be counted as 'positive'. I've read that several times.

It's more conspiracy theory thinking to think that the Dept. of Health would do that to make the numbers look bigger than reality.
