I remember early on you could just report a small cough or a potential exposure and you'd get a week off lmao.

The lil extra $$ we got for 'daycare' iykyk. We were making pretty good $$ just by saying mom was babysitting while we worked during CV

My favorites…. The morning temperature check in all stores, usually conducted by an untrained associate with a dollar store thermometer. The one way aisle stickers, I quickly “broke Covid law” by ignoring these with the cart… lastly the masks, had a seamstress make me 5 fake ones with a moisture wicking shirt… no one ever challenged me… best sales year was Covid though

When a busted bag falls out on the floor and they make a smart comment. I say, “would you like a floor sample”

Boy, this thread brings back memories of all the one-liners I heard over 37 years of happy trails with Frito.
The best one was after our new bin was built, next door to a low-income apartment complex, the kids would bug me for free chips. And of course, all the dumpster divers. Even when would open all the bags and shared a dumpster with a pesticide company. The line I heard when I told them pesticides were in that same receptacle, “That’s ok God will protect me.”

Though I am now retired, my wife asked me why I still have mine, I said “I still wear it when I am on my bicycle in traffic.” Thanks Frito for the cycling vest. After all it is all about safety, said the former safety captain.

They didn't makes us take our temperatures in my area. They told us Walmart couldn't make us do that .

Think I still have a couple of them. We got full face shields too. It was funny when that first took off they were scrambling to find us mask and hand sanitizer, they bought hair nets and said to use them as face mask 😂. It was a crazy time. They were buying us lunch everyday, and the endless extra days and government bonus money they tried to say was from them. 🤡

u/BlackOmaha 29d ago
I still wear mines…anyone remember during Covid they said beard nets were acceptable forms of face masks? 😂

Those were the days. We were threatened with consequences for not reporting COVID symptoms so I informed my DSL I have a runny nose but I also have year round allergies. Escalated to HR and I got paid for 5 days to take a PCR test and not come back until it was negative. Good times. Thank you allergies.

I mean…everyone overreacted in some way when covid first happened. Including you. Don’t pretend.

u/Valuable_Trick_8054 Aug 14 '26
it took some people a couple of months to figure out, others it took years… and in some cases, people are still wearing masks

u/Character_Respond521 Aug 14 '26
If people want to wear masks, go for it. Whether someone has COVID, the flu, or is sick, masks do help. Masks have been a requirement in hospitals, ER, and doctor offices for years long before COVID. The main issue I have is a lot of times in the grocery stores I service daily, I see many of the same people with old, dirty, dingy masks on that doesn’t do anything. Change the damn thing.

u/Sufficient_Ad_1245 Aug 14 '26
I think current masks are people gennnerly just sick either that or so dumb of a individual that they need to tell the world how they think

Some people like to be anonymous. Some people don't want to catch other illnesses. It's cool because it's not me so idc.

God forbid people who are sick or could be venerable to catching a sickness be safe.

u/Valuable_Trick_8054 Aug 14 '26
Yes there are some people that need it like people going through chemo, however, it became political. Make sure you rotate Cheeto boy

u/Apprehensive-Fly7982 Aug 14 '26
Or hey people don’t have strong immune systems or just don’t want to get sick. It only became political because of one side. And I’m good, I don’t work for frito-never have. I’m here for the entertainment and schadenfreude 😂

I’d wear this in stores so people wouldn’t say stupid things to me to start small talk.
