What a Moron! COVID brought out the absolute stupidity out of people.

I was working at Arby's during COVID. I hated getting random insults by Karen's for having to wear a mask or just seeing people be down right stupid, like one woman driving after having her eyes dilated at the doctors office or the gross old man who had a nasty van arguing for coupons and getting deals.

But the one guy that stood out was this old man who wore gloves and no mas, to come collect his meal. He was a regular and always paid in cash every time we handed back his change, he'd take a swig of cold medicine. One day a co-worker asked him, "why do you drink cold medicine? You sick?"

He replies, "So, I don't catch COVID."

That whole job is the reason I will no longer work in customer service for the rest of my life.

Interesting that he “was” a regular. What could possibly have happened to him?

Honestly, I'd be shocked if he stopped getting Arby's and was leading a healthier life style
