I went a couple weeks ago and I had my mask down below my nose, which is pretty how I wear it at places that still insist on wearing a mask, and the employee assisting me told me I had to pull it up and fully cover my nose. I almost walked out right then based on this ridiculousness, but I didn't and I sucked it up and complied. But yeah, I will not be going back.

I’m trying to think in what context you would even refer to an employee using a pronoun.

any weird pronouns? or just he/him and she/her?




I only interacted with a few employees and didn't walk all over the store.

The one dude had his name and then below it he, his, himself.

Which begs the question. If your name is on your nametag aren't you expecting someone to say your name to address you? I don't need to know your gender identity to use your name.

Thanks. I got a 12 pro! I do like the hardware and I was coming from a 6S (yeah, I know) so it was quite an upgrade.

I was excited about getting it which led me to do the pickup instead of waiting for it to ship.

I'll get it shipped next time.

Welcome to BoomerDroppings - everything is a liberal conspiracy even if the OP makes no sense.

On that, I agree, but it wouldn't bother me. It might make me laugh a bit out loud, though. I guess the mask would muffle that a bit.

I hope you aren’t serious about the pronouns. We are putting teenage Instagram bio info on name badges now?

It means the name badge will have “they/her” or “he, him” on it. Like anyone gives a frick what you want to be called. I call my wife a bitch all the time and she hates that word.

Why bother with a mask at all, if you can’t figure out how to wear it properly?
You sound really intelligent.

So it would be like some dude wearing a name tag that says "John he, him"?

And who the frick is they? You can't call a single person "they"... are "they" really trying to change the rules of the fricking language?

"What's up, George!.. I mean, what's up They"
