10. Just sit her in the waiting room

Tue Feb 3, 2026, 10:23 PM

Yesterday

Since there are no acceptable staff, she can wait forever.

My county requires masks in medical settings for all staff, patients, and hangers on. (THANK YOU TO THE COUNTY). I belong to Kaiser Permanente HMO. Part of our membership consists of an agreement to follow the rules.
I think unmasked people within the facilities should simply be ignored; the same way they are ignoring the prominent signs on the way in reminding them they MUST wear masks.
I witnessed exactly that in the pharmacy the other day as an idiot was loudly complaining about having waited for an hour. Someone finally told him to get a clue, and fulfill his agreement to follow the rules. He didn’t ask which rules? He knew.
