This is a solid message for all of us. Everything is short-staffed these days and for those who report for work it’s a good thing to be kind. The world needs some kindness for those who are just trying to get by and to make a living.

Definitely agree with this — thanks for the reminder.
If you want service, be patient, be kind, and above all: don’t try to make someone helping you feel uncomfortable because you think it’s OK to not wear a mask with a cough. It’s not. Put a mask on and take it off when your cough has cleared up, and don’t scream and curse at someone because they don’t want to be in line behind them, breathing down their neck, maskless with a cough. Have some decency!
Thank you for this reminder. I hope more people read it.
Too many people in the service industry get abused by rude customers and sometimes the establishments they work for. I feel for them. I always try to be friendly and concerned and hope it lifts their spirits.
Unfortunately, it’s extended out now. There is literally no job that doesn’t come in contact with this. I just dealt with it at my job. The person passed three signs and then tried to throw a hissy fit when I tried to hand her a mask. shocked as hell when I threw her out.
