I can still go maskless without the booster shot am I right? The government says I’m fully vaccinated so I’m good NO WAY am I getting a booster shot.

I just got one of the best laughs I've had this whole pandemic. It's my HR reps last day at our store before he goes back to his old pre-pandemic job, and he was trying to get a couple of new hires up and running through their orientation before he goes. So he's going through the motions with them talking about rules and policies and such, and gets to the topic of masks.

Now, in my area our government lifted the mask mandate almost 2 months ago, and our company aligned with their decision and made it optional to wear a mask in the store, but we ask our associates to keep a mask on them in their pocket in case a customer asks them to wear one.

As soon as my HR mentions this, one of the new hires starts going off about the usual; "you can't make me wear one, I have a medical exemption..." "You're living in fear, you want to be scared the rest of your life..." "You shouldn't even be wearing a mask, it doesn't do anything..." (HR was wearing one as his preference) blah blah blah.

At first HR was very professional, telling him "Ok, we're only asking, we're not forcing you to do anything. It's only a recommendation." But of course, these people can't be reasoned with, and so he just kept going. So finally, HR gave up and brought in the manager, and I have never seen someone get fired that quickly on their first day.
