I didnt mind not accepting tea and coffee during the first lockdown as it was spring and nice weather....Sod refusing brews in the winter!
Quote from: Splash & dash on January 20, 2021, 08:22:45 pmQuote from: AuRavelling79 on January 20, 2021, 03:54:27 pmThis is the first time I have heard of Covid being caught at work by a mainly wfp domestic window cleaner.Here's the story. A local window cleaner caught Covid just as he was going back to work at the start of January. (It may have been between Xmas and the New Year) He was really rough with it - passed it on to his wife and kids. He and his wife were on the point of calling an ambulance for him about seven to eight days in but they didn't and they are through it although he is only working light duties this week.He had it first and he is pretty sure he got it as he unwisely accepted a cuppa at a customer's who later informed him he was unwell and tested positive.Unusually for this type of reaction they are both young (late 30's) and no known underlying issues or excess weight.I have not heard this first hand, but his wife told my wife and she told me.Sorry but only a fool would accept any food or drink from anyone at this time customers will offer it and mean well by doing so , but come on who is stupid enough to accept it , why have so many in the hospitality sector gone down with covid It’s not rocket science to protect yourself especially with us working outside .A bit harsh to be labelling people fools and stupid. I'm sure we've all "slipped up" at some point. With regards to hospitality sector ( my sister being one of them ) its the disregard by the general paying public for mask wearing and social distance etc. thats the issue. She is absolutely hating working right now and the abuse she receives on a daily basis. Same goes for the supermarket and shop workers. Sod the teachers, they don't know how lucky they are. Shop workers on minimum wages have no choice. Apologies for taking what you've said a bit out of context but I wanted to have a little rant But I agree, we all need to take a step back and think for ourselves before acting and not rely on government guidance or scientists advice, WE are all ultimately responsible for either the spread or reduction in this pandemic.

In my experience Teachers are working extremely hard at the moment. Teaching the 50% of kids that are still in school whilst setting work for the 50% that are homeschooling. All whilst being exposed to the virus and not being on any preferred list for early vaccination.If your issue is that they earn more than shop workers then shop workers could always pay themselves through 5 years of education and give teaching a go.But yeh, accepting brews from customers at the moment is a silly, I agree with that much.
Nothing to do with shop workers earning less than teachers. Both deserve our respect. I could have worded my previous comment better .

Splash and dash is calling us fools for accepting the odd brew here and there but happily accepts cash as a form of payment from some customers..... .....I bet him and his staff DONT clean every note and coin and clean their hands after handling it......😄
Why don't you have a quick google before making stupid comments?
What if I put some sanitiser in my tea, would that make it covid secure?
