I suspect its all much higher for you, but at least your lot of 'customers' can pretend that they don't know what they're doing... I just don't know what's wrong with people, I thought it had got better, until today - 2 people verbally abused me in the whole 4 hours I was at work.... 4 hours! And that's just for me....I always am nice. There's a few in there I try n avoid like the plague.
That could actually be turned around to mental health workers, I've been thumped,scratched, felt teeth slide across my forearm, had my hair pulled and belted with a walking stick, That's just in the last week. Not to mention the times we're verbally threatened.

My Union, USDAW, has carried out a survey...
Usdaw’s survey of 4,928 shopworkers shows that since the Coronavirus outbreak:
Please be kind....
- 62% of UK shopworkers experienced verbal abuse,
- almost a third were threatened by a customer
- 4% were assaulted, which amounts to more than 3,500* every day when averaged across all retail workers.
Ours live outside, to control the masses, not much help for us inside...Apparently asda now employ bouncers with tattooed faces to ensure such things are limited.
Sometimes, you just can't find a fridge when you need one,Dodgy?
Politician?
Never.
The death toll of Britain today is the same as Italy on March 7th which means we are exactly 2 WEEKS BEHIND THEM.
Will people please take the social distancing thing seriously and stay in, only going out for essentials.
I read of someone yesterday who said he was young and not in the at risk category so it didn’t affect him.
JUST STOP IT.
YOU'RE SPREADING IT.
1000% agreeWhen I first posted this at the end of March before the lockdown there were 48 deaths per day bringing it up to a total of 271.
A month down the line people are getting complacent because deaths are down to “only 400 per day”.
Over 20,000 deaths now.
But hey ho, just carry on going out, mingling, because it doesn’t affect you directly does it?
Idiots.
Twaddle. Unless I'm reading that wrong, I'd rather be skint than dead.one thing people seem to of forgotten during this lockdown is that recession kills. recession may not be listed on a death certificate but it still kills. if the recession resultant from the lockdown is worse than -6.7 per cent than the lockdown mission of saving lives will of failed as more life-years will of been lost due to recession than saved from coronavirus. we need to ensure that whatever we do the cure isn't worse than the disease.
