Went to the local Spar, plenty of toilet paper in stock, and reasonably priced for Kwikie Mart pricing. Same for Shop Wrong, plenty of white paper, in assorted price ranges, and types of feel and style, from John Wayne to triple ply ultra fluffy. Out of stock both places of my required plain yoghurt, even the (shudder) low fat and fat free (WHY!) varieties. Luckily new in stock, unsweetened strawberry and cream flavour, so the DT's are held at bay. Not too bad either, will buy again. Even had the Lindt 80% in stock, but not the 90%, and if I want cocoa I will not pay them the price they want for the 99% (and it is 45g as well, in a 100g package with a massive plastic vacuum formed insert) and just use cocoa powder and cream instead to DIY. They did have tonic water in stock, yummy, plus it keeps the Mozzies at bay. I wiped them out, all 4 bottles. Went out to help a company with machine queries, and ran into the rozzers on the way back. Papiere bitte mein Herr, but nothing else. |

This is one occasion where being an introvert is an advantage! I spend most of the time on my own anyway, so this situation, in that respect, is no different for me! Once a week for grocery shopping and very occasionally the odd time to run a errand, that is my sum total of venturing from the house! |

I normally don’t like to make any waves but I feel I need to bring this up with the boss in the morning. I’m expecting to be told I’m overreacting and there is nothing that can be done. I would be interested to hear how others would handle the situation. --- End quote --- In the current situation you co-worker's behaviour is unacceptable. I'd take this up with your boss. Maybe you can move your desk further away. But your boss also needs to try and talk some sense into your co-worker. As an employer your boss is responsible for a safe & healthy work environment. Which also means your boss can require people to refrain from activities which puts employees in danger. --- End quote --- You should leave work immediately and not return until after you talk to your boss. If your boss fails to take swift and thorough action then I would consider that as an unsafe working environment and I would walk out immediately and file a complaint with the proper work safety organization and I would not return there until the situation is corrected (if ever). Several national governments have already made it clear that workers can not be penalized for refusing to work if their employers can't ensure SAFE working conditions during this pandemic. If I was the guy's boss I would terminate him immediately. He's putting everyone that he works with in jeoparty and his actions could potentially lead the collapse of that business. |
