Even though I don't agree with it, I get the rationale of sneakily breaking lockdown to see family/friends and opening businesses when it's still illegal.

This on the other hand is just such moronic unnecessary behaviour?!

Poor staff. Selfish fuckers should have just had a private party and spit in each other's mouths, rather than force the staff to be put at risk from their pathetic, pointless actions.

It looked like an ideal time to have a fire drill.

Wish I had a big mobile 5g mast I could attach to my shopping trolley to ward these selfish idiots off, bit like garlic with vampires.

Poor staff. What a horrible thing to do to them

Yes that was my first thought. How selfish can you be?
Itsalonghaul · 30/03/2021 08:11

Not okay.

I can completely understand why people are fed up of wearing masks, as soon as it’s legal to do so, I won’t be wearing one that’s for sure.

We are all fed up of wearing masks, but that sort of behaviour is just Hmm.

Lots of shop workers I see aren’t wearing a mask, are they selfish to customer’s to?

No one is being selfish. This whole your lack of mask is killing me needs to stop.

Anyone who wants to wear one should and they then should wear a proper one which protects the wearer. Don’t wear the blue things or a cloth and then rant at others about it.

Lostinacloud · 30/03/2021 08:48

What if...just what if.....not every single person out there has covid and are actually healthy?!!! Shock And then my dears, what if....just what if......pretty much everyone likely to have a problem with covid has received a vaccination that means they won’t have a problem anymore?!!! Shock

My friend works in a supermarket and has been signed off sick due to idiots like this. She’s developed overwhelming anxiety to the extent her GP wants her to take medication.

I want to punch smug, entitled twats like the people in that clip. They’re so selfish and stupid.

As we were happily wandering around Tesco without a mask last March, April, May and cases were dropping I really can't get worked up about this.

Tell that to the surgeon doing your next operation.

So you'd happily stay in strict lock down if it meant you didn't have to wear masks.? Because I think it's the lock down which caused the drop in cases then.

Personally I'd rather wear a mask and not need a lockdown

Tell that to the 170,000 bereaved families. They caught it from someone. And that someone wasn't wearing a mask.

That is simply not true. Masks lessen the risk but they are not 100% at preventing spread. If that were true, no one would be catching it in hospitals.

fizzyp0p · 30/03/2021 09:44

FFS we were all working before masks came in. People take their masks off to speak to me at work. Masks wouldn't have stopped all of those people dying

loulouljh · 30/03/2021 09:45

It looked great. Good on them. The masks are there to appease those who are frightened. They are really unnecessary. I imagine alot more people will be dropping the wretched things as the weather improves.

Masks for surgery-of course. Masks for Tescos-no.

Dontjudgeme101 · 30/03/2021 09:47

Just pure selfishness.

Surgeons are trained in proper use of masks and aseptic technique. They don't do what someone in Tesco does.. which is take a months old mask out the bottom of their bag and touch it constantly. Then take it off and put it back in their bag for next time.

theotherfossilsister · 30/03/2021 09:56

I can't believe people are defending them. Imagine not being able to wear a mask for medical reasons and being in the supermarket where those people were. You'd want to hide so you weren't associated with them.

There's a lot about lockdown I really hate but masks might be one of many ways our of it.

DumplingsAndStew · 30/03/2021 09:59

Ah, it's those "lawyers" for liberty idiots.

diwrnachoflleyn · 30/03/2021 09:59

Cue the selfish brigade.

notrub · 30/03/2021 10:07

The answer is simple - DON'T leave dealing with people like this to the police - if you know who they are, ACT. Plenty of ways to let people know they aren't welcome in a neighborhood.
