     @Lady_Penelope I applied for a job in Hobbycraft a few years ago and the application form is full of genderwoo language - pronouns, how you identify etc. There are also stores where the convid perspex barriers are still up at the tills. I suspect that there might be a few wokelets at board level, or those who still fear the wokelets and the threat of their wrath.
     My local branch is fine at a store level and I occasionally pop in with my mum.
     This will be interesting to watch.

     @HebrideanHecate @Lady_Penelope The main point is that staff shouldn't bring their politics to work. Wearing a badge like that as part of the uniform is unacceptable. It would be worse if the company made staff wear things like that.
     I've worked in a few customer facing roles, and the company ethos is always to treat everyone politely because their money is as good as anyone's. Only rude/aggressive/threatening behaviour can be a reason for not serving a member of staff. I've served all sorts of strange people in my time and the shop floor is no place for personal politics.

     @KeepTakingTheSoma @Lady_Penelope Damn right they shouldn't, not anywhere, ever. This takeover of everything enrages me, and worst of all is medical setting, like that maggot of a junior Dr and her anti Jewish ranting, imagine having someone like that treating you, how unsafe.
