There was always antisocial fucks who viewed the effort of dealing with the crisis as more of a problem than the crisis, and it’s the same ones. And they’re always loud as fuck compared to the normal people who are willing to actually accept that there is a crisis and their routine must be altered.
I lived through the pandemic where even in my conservative town, we were out of school for 7 months and fully on lockdown. Those antisocial fucks I believe were the outliers. Anyone who cared about their loved ones wore a damn mask. Of course you’ll be dealing with more people who object to the quarantine when they’re the ones not staying in. A lot of us did stay in so we didn’t cause a fuss at peoples workplaces, the outliers did
Yeah I was in a 74% Trump (2020) county and most of my business was done curbside, not in-person. But once we reopened for in-person dining, plenty of people came in and acted within the guidelines. But every single day I had at least 4 people go ballistic over the mask policy and increased wait from the table-spacing policies. I’d mostly just shut them up by saying how the rules make my life tougher too but they didn’t see me throwing a childish tantrum.
“I gotta wear this mask for my entire shift, and my serving section is down a table, which means 33% less tips on a three-table section, and you don’t see me pitching a hissy fit over it like a child” would usually only infuriate them further though because they were like 40+ and being called childish by someone young enough to be their son lmao
