My hubby and I had to go get a CPAP machine for him today. We walk into the medical equipment place to find out how to use it. The tech said we didn't have to wear masks, but she did cuz it was required although she wouldn't if it was up to her.

I was just shocked that she would have that position when her job is working with people who have breathing problems. I just gave her my polite response, "I don't find it difficult to do the bare minimum to protect other members of our community." She just blinked a couple times and then continued on with training.

People are just assholes.
