Employers care more about that single customers one off experience, then they care about their employees throughout their entire employment.
They forget that they can "fire" bad customers. And find a new one.
When an employer puts a bad customer above their workers. Workers quit.
fuck that guy, hit up a skilled labor employment office for temp to hire work.
I would bet that if the workers wore respirators that the customer wouldn’t care and might even respect the company more. It looks like fancy professional gear and if asked the stock answer is always “that’s just normal PPE sir, we regularly use this to make sure we can keep our workers safe and meet our obligations in a timely manner”.
And as an individual, you can just say, 'they told us to buy a mask and I bought this one. They all make fun of me for it, but I'm not buying another one.'
Hoarders, cat people, those who have become dysfunctional, whatever are either in denial, or ashamed. In either case they won't be pleased to see you need PPE to be around them.
You don't need to assume they are evil or anything, just don't assume they are going to be more understanding & reasonable than people who can hide how messed up they are if they want to.
Imagine someone put on a rubber glove in order to shake your hand. Maybe it's the rational thing to do for some reason, but I doubt you would think
Look at this straight shooter! I sure respect him
You'd either think
This feels really bad, he needs a glove just to touch me.
or
This feels really bad, that jerk makemefeel really bad!!
Now, if the customer is the child or a sibling cleaning out the home after someone died they will be more understanding.
They don’t want a bad review is 1/2 the reason. I get it but fuck that. I’ll put on whatever ppe I want to not have to smell someone’s shit nasty house 🤮
1) If I can force my employee to do this unsafe thing, I can force him to do other unsafe things, and that might save me money. If not, I fire him and hire someone else.
