A Montreal restaurant worker says she was forced to quit after her boss told her she can’t wear a mask at work. The restaurant says it doesn't require worker...
Customers complained? What kind of asshole would complain about someone wanting to keep themselves, and others around them, safe?
It also seems absurd that’s no law in Canada protecting people who want to wear additional PPE at work. We know how awful worker safety and protection is in the workplace, and it should be a human right to allow people the ability to use additional PPE beyond what the employer provides (nothing, in this case).
In BC, they mandated that you must wear the hospital provided surgical mask (or whatever it was that was similar). You weren’t allowed to bring your own n95 or better mask and they would make you remove it to enter.
Pretty bonkers.
Even a poor fitting n95 would be better than a surgical mask with gaps everywhere
Congrats on never having to work a customer facing job I guess?
I worked retail for years… 20+ years ago. Never heard of customers complaining about staff, and certainly not for anything petty. We would have had a laugh with the manager if that happened.
If anything, I’ve only ever heard of restaurant patrons complaining about the lack of PPE, not the use of them!

The same people who got mad about other people wearing masks during COVID.
You know, morons.
I’m afraid I do.

Edit: to clarify that was for visitors. .

Yeah, it’s possible things have changed then.
These kind of assholes call themselves “conservatives”.
