My youngest brother manages a Wawa, and he says while he can tell customers they need a mask, he cannot actually refuse them service or ask them to leave if they don't have one on. So everyday he has absolute human scum yelling at him about MAH FREEDUM or calling him a librul pussy sheep and then has to sell them combos, skoal, and monster energy drinks.

I knew if I waited someone would scoop up WaPo hard work about the admin getting a heads up from the WHO late last year:

The Washington Post reported Sunday that about a dozen Americans working at the World Health Organization provided “real-time” information about the emerging coronavirus to the White House,

Nah PA. He made it sound like it was a Wawa thing, not a state thing.

Substitute Big League Chew for Skoal and that sounds like a timeout for a snack to me!

Covid Tracking reports 167k tests today. Highest total since 229k on 4/4 when the "pending" cleared. 141k reported yesterday.

Not sure what to make of it yet.
Glass half full - Testing capacity increased
Half a glass - Just a reporting lag
Glass half empty - Testing demand increased

Right? I went to the supermarket yesterday and they were limiting the number of people in the store etc. There were people walking around with no gloves or mask just not giving a fuck. They have signs at each register saying "don't put your groceries on the belt until the cashier tells you to". There was this one guy (late 50's or son) who was walking around the store, no gloves, no mask, and he printed a sticker from the self weigh produce thing and put it on his upper lip. He was walking around singing "It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood" through the store. In the queue to go to a register, I heard him literally scream at someone "Get Out of my FACE!!". Then he wound up being sent to the register I was at as I was finishing up, he ignored the sings and just put his stuff on the belt. The cashier was a high school kid, she doesn't get paid enough to deal with that while being constantly exposed to possible infection.

It's awful. They close every morning from 2-3 to deep clean the store. A woman showed up at 2:50 and started banging on the windows. Brother told her it would just be ten minutes and she started cursing him out, MFER I NEED MAH FEWD NOW.

Sounds like a challenging situation but let’s not drag Combos under the bus here. They are blameless

You are giving me way too much credit if you think I have a deck or an umbrella. :lol:

@realdonaldtrump (not really, but possibly)
LIBERATE Combos. Fight for your Constitutial right to eat those pizza-filled pretzels. They're beautiful. Brown and crispy, you've never seen at thing like them. Many people have said they have seen them filled with cheddar cheese too. I don't know. I never saw it. But maybe. We'll have to see. We are going to look into it very strongly. I think we may find they were just a defective bag left over from the previous Democrat administration but we'll see. Rudy is looking at it but we'll see.
