To be disgusted that Subway (sandwich bar) are not making staff wear masks?

They have all the ingredients uncovered in front of them and could cough or sneeze or even just breathe on it constantly.

I was told they aren’t wearing them as they’re not ‘mandatory’. They seem to give more of a shit about their staff being a bit uncomfortable in a viral pandemic than the risk of spreading the disease through their food and going out of business!

DS has been longing to go there since lockdown as it’s his favourite place to eat so I took him today and was gobsmacked none of the staff were masked up.

AIBU that ALL good serving staff should be in masks?

It is disgusting, probably best not to eat there.

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 03/07/2020 16:39

YABU
I don't think I'd even notice lol

JovialNickname · 03/07/2020 16:40

Don't go to Subway then, and let others unbothered by breathing go instead?

Mrsmorton · 03/07/2020 16:40

Thoughts and prayers OP.

CoronaIsShit · 03/07/2020 16:42

Yeah breathing. That’s how CV spreads.

Ignorant people like you are the reason we may be stuck with wave after wave of this virus until we find a vaccine Bubble.

Log it with 101 immediately.

Mamette · 03/07/2020 16:43

Subway is actually optional, would you believe.

IHaveBrilloHair · 03/07/2020 16:44

I myself am quite horrified by the amount of people who are breathing.
It's just not right.

I know I shouldn’t but that made me laugh Grin
GrannyBags · 03/07/2020 16:45

Wow that escalated fast!
People can make their own choice to eat there if they feel the risk is low, or go somewhere else. If it’s not the law then the only thing people can do is vote with their feet.

SunbathingDragon · 03/07/2020 16:45

I’d be much more concerned if they were refusing permission to allow those who wanted to wear them.

If you aren’t happy with it, go elsewhere.

SandysMam · 03/07/2020 16:45

Mmmmm I love a subway. The bread is so sweet, more like candy floss!! But YANBU, the breath on the pickles would put me off!!

Oh my goodness. Absolutely Vile.

I do hope you were both wearing your masks OP?

LemonadeAndDaisyChains · 03/07/2020 16:47

You can't spend your whole life hiding away scared from the virus and refusing to eat anything out.
Well you could, but it'd be a bit miserable.

IHaveBrilloHair · 03/07/2020 16:50

If you'd asked nicely maybe they could have fashioned a mask quickly from half a six inch roll?

welshpolarbear · 03/07/2020 16:51

Op, I'm with you and would choose not to go for this reason.

Jaxhog · 03/07/2020 16:53

It is disgusting. But the answer is to not go there.

LaurieMarlow · 03/07/2020 16:56

So go somewhere else ...

Did you literally stand there looking at them like Shock or 😲?

Just wondering.

GrannyBags · 03/07/2020 16:56

Also, isn’t Subway a fairly easy thing to replicate at home? I wouldn’t know where to start with KFC but I could try to make a Subway style sandwich

Mmmmycorona · 03/07/2020 16:57

I had subway last week with my family. We’re all ok.
