Oh dear. Smiley

The baked beans or peas are added by using a serving spoon. When they say "I put a some extra beans on there for you", then that is positive discrimination. I've never worked in a restaurant, so I don't really know if that is just marketing, or staff being friendly. Similarly "I've added an extra sausage" is good for customer relations. Also, I get offered free sandwiches sometimes after the cafe has closed, but that might just be an attempt to save waste. Obviously if you alienate the staff, then you won't get these offers.

Anyway, my policy change seems to be of benefit to me, so I can't see any upside in reverting to public displays of disaffection.

Wait staff are nice to nice people. If you're filling in the track and trace and generally not being difficult of course staff will be nicer to you. If you're throwing tantrums over track and trace they'll probably be more dismissive and want to get away from you faster. It isn't a political thing, its just how staff naturally respond to whatever vibes the customer is giving.

It isn't just for the track and trace though, that treatment you would expect pre pandemic too. I personally have always made nice customers aware of discounts/vouchers. I wouldn't dream of doing that for someone thats been abrasive the whole time I've served them. Nicer people have always enjoyed better service, you get what you put into the world. It's hardly discrimination, its a reaction to how you've been treated. If someone is nasty to me I don't consider it discrimination to be dismissive of them.

Your policy change makes the lives of people like me a lot easier, I don't know why you would've thought in the being difficult for people on minimum wage would benefit anyone in the first place.

I'm such a hypocrite. I filled in my form the other day as Boris Johnson, and I was told off for doing it. I've noticed that if you are a militant who is opposed to the government narrative, then sometimes you get smaller portions in the restaurants. On the other hand if you portray yourself as a poor old pensioner, who is doing his best to comply with the regulations under difficult circumstances, then sometimes you get larger portions, or extras with your meals. I'm now a model citizen, even if I do run the risk of getting fat. Smiley

I can assure you, unless the restaurants you're going to are fronts for political societies no one is going to tamper with your portion size. As a waitress, whenever I send a food order I dont add a note 'oh this guy is a dick give him less food', no, instead I do my job and just limit any interaction with unpleasant or difficult people. Also whose to say the waitstaff don't privately agree with you that they don't like track and trace.

If you genuinely believe your portion size is affected by track and trace then I'm sorry but that is just delusional. To any wait staff you're just another face out of hundreds, they don't care enough about you to go out of their way to ensure a smaller portion size. You're probably just another customer thats difficult with track and trace, or because of your change of tack and actually filling in the form, another easy customer that still doesn't stand out in the crowd.

Never have I seen someone so desperate to claim some sort of discrimination, least of all in the form of smaller portions. I don't know who told you the government is that interested in you but if they are I can assure you they aren't messing with your portion sizes at restaurants.

And they told me this forum was full of educated people Huh

The primary reason that older people are at risk over their health is because the Pharma sales force ( doctors ) keep persuading them to accept damaging vaccines, and poisonous drugs that mess up their bodies.
I'll concede that there is certainly an element of this, but doctors do also provide vital and live-saving drugs. I think this outweighs the unnecessary sales, although I'd imagine it's difficult to acquire reliable data on this.

Age is not a disease, but it is becoming a medically created sickness.
Age is cumulative cell division errors. It kind of is a disease in the sense that most early-onset diseases are removed from the gene-pool through natural selection (people succumb prior to reaching the age where they can create their own children), whereas late-onset diseases are not selected against. But I appreciate that 'age' by itself - without any of the health conditions that are more likely to occur in older age - is certainly not a thing that needs to be treated, and particularly not through unnecessary drugs.

just remember jetcash is in his 70's he knows his health is failing him and deep down he is concerned. but he comes on this forum acting like a superman thats immortal as his theraputic way to try to not stress over his own health risks by trying to tell himself via this forum that he is superman

also remember UK healthcare system is free. there are no salemen

giving your number is the important part. so they can contact you.
however if you want to test if that number is being used for other things and by who
then lets say your real name is alex.
at morrisons write down axel
at mcdonalds write down al
at another place write down albert
at another write down alexander
at another write down allen

then if you get mischievous calls you can pin point which store gave your details to other businesses
yep the stores dont hand details to the NHS daily. the store meant to keep and secure the slips of paper and only hand over relevant ones that relate to the time period of an infectee
the rest should get destroyed after a month or less

^^^ But, why is it that no researcher has come up with proper isolation of the Covid virus? Until they do this, the whole thing is a sham scam.

Better that they contact more people than they need to, rather than the opposite.


It would be better if they left them alone unless they need help.

I get loads of messages from the so-called health service, and they tell me that I am in a high risk category. In fact the reverse is true, as I haven't had any vaccinations or pharmaceuticals for around 60 years, and I've survived 4 pandemics with little more than a few sniffles.
By necessity it's a generalised approach, though. They are contacting you because you are in a high-risk category, not because you as an individual are at high-risk. They don't have the time or money (or indeed the competence) to target individuals. Better that they contact more people than they need to, rather than the opposite.


cases of people harvesting the phone numbers [...] I am now providing my correct details to see if they are abused.
TBH I'd be surprised if they didn't harvest the phone numbers and abuse their position of trust. That's pretty much default behaviour for the government, and the friends to whom they grant lucrative contracts without even going through the motions of putting them out for tender.

The whole Corona virus panicdemic (sic) is really a load of banker's bollocks. Track and trace is a total waste of taxpayers' money, and it shouldn't be supported. We don't fill in the forms because there have been cases of people harvesting the phone numbers, and propositioning  the form provider. I don't trust the government either, I get loads of messages from the so-called health service, and they tell me that I am in a high risk category. In fact the reverse is true, as I haven't had any vaccinations or pharmaceuticals for around 60 years, and I've survived 4 pandemics with little more than a few sniffles.

It really is time that people did a bit of research, and stopped pushing the bankers' agenda that is supported by the governments. It is selfish of you to leech off the taxpayers because you can't be bothered to find out the real facts, and take control of your health. Stuffing poison pills down your throat isn't an alternative to basic natural health care, even if the pills do come from Bill Gates and the rest of his coven.

Anyway, I have had a change of tack. I am now providing my correct details to see if they are abused.

If someone wants to enter fake details thats their choice.

If someone is high risk, they probably should enter their details honestly to stay informed.
Well, it's really up to someone if he wants to give an honest detail or a fake one. But giving a fake detail is kinda selfish, don't you think? I mean, what if he is infected (just aysmptomatic, let's say) and went to an establishment with other people in it. What if he infects other people even if it's unintentional? How would the infector be found if all he gave was a fake detail? What if he infects more people?

Point is, giving small details about you honestly won't harm you. It might even save you and others from the grave danger of the virus. Just saying, tho.

I mean if someone gives fake details, they're selfish pricks undeniably. But we can't stop people from doing it really. I only said 'its their choice' coz this guy seems like the kind of guy that would do exactly that.

I'm not saying its a good thing, quite the opposite really. I think people should be giving genuine details but at work when I ask people for track and trace details you'd be shocked at how many people shout at me for it. No one wants to give their details because they think they're special enough for the government to care where they've gone for lunch instead of realising theres literally a whole pandemic and their details are important to informing people of if they're at risk or not. I think track and trace becoming mandatory is a good thing, if people can't give details honestly then turn around and say track and trace is a waste of money... well that speaks volumes itself really.

This whole pandemic I've been saying its only due to human selfishness its got this bad.

I mean there really is no reason to provide fake details, unless you're someone that cares about privacy and you think that someone is out to get you. Which I mean, kinda fair I guess. if you really do care about privacy and someone tells you to fill out a form to eat, just go home and make some food for yourself -- or go somewhere else.

But really if you're fully health the list is supposed to help you. As people at the store / public health officials, can reachout to you and say you may have been in contact with someone who has COVID -- which allows for you to get tested and keep people out of harms way.

Seems that there is a legal start to the nullify the illegal pandemic activities of State governors. Of course, maybe the judge has his eye on the idea that people want to open up, and he can become president in a few years if he works it right.


'Unconstitutional!' Federal Court Judge Shreds Pennsylvania Covid Shutdown



A federal judge in Pennsylvania yesterday blew the top off of the massive authoritarian over-reach by governors throughout the country, ruling that Pennsylvania's governor and state health official violated the US Constitution in exercising what it claimed were "emergency powers" in response to the coronavirus outbreak. Will the judge's ruling begin to break down the wall of authoritarianism in the US? Also today, the state of Texas has employed shockingly inaccurate and shoddy testing and reporting methods, resulting in policy decisions being made without accurate information. As even the New York Times has noticed deep problems in Texas, state health authorities are rushing to clean up the mess they've made of things. With new and more accurate numbers showing far fewer infections, will the governor finally life his tyrannical restrictions on Texans?

Cool

While none of us (on here) like to see the overreach of government, I highly doubt that regular people are going to rally behind this cause. I'm all for stopping covid infections and trying to save peoples lives, but I do understand that government uses the excuse of 'saving lives' as there go to when it comes to taking away peoples rights.

They did it with 9/11, and I suppose it's still up for debate if these things that governors did will stay permanent. Bad precedent is set if this whole thing is used by governors to just shut down their economy whenever they want to for political purposes.

But yeah, here we are.

It is no longer voluntary in the UK. If you don't fill in the form, then you don't get served in the cafe. Of course you can walk around in the supermarket as much as you like without providing any details.

I guess that my main point is that the UK government is squandering money on this totally useless bit of fear mongering, and it is trying to look as if it cares, whilst it is cutting money on other essential medical services,  and on policing. It is also attempting to increase taxes to pay for its Mickey Mouse projects.

Isn't that voluntary though? If you choose not to do it, then you don't get served.

I would define NOT VOLUNTARY as something that is mandated by government / law to stop you from being served. Some businesses require you to wear certain types of attire or stuff along those lines if you want to eat there.

Not all businesses are mandated to do this, it's their choice as they want to avoid litigation.

I would have had more skepticism if they were using their credit card transactions to contact trace instead of having people voluntarily filling out the form themselves.

Takes 30 seconds, big deal.

+1 to that.

This isn't some crazy big brother conspiracy where every company is now forcing you to scan in or something along those lines. This is a way to protect companies from potential litigation.

Well I have been chatting to the staff this morning ( shock, horror, two metres, two metres, I hear you cry). They tell me that yesterday was memorable as they had many famous visitors, including Donald Trump, Boris Johnson, but no Margaret Thatcher ( yet).

I still don't see the point of it. We know that the Covid panicdemic (sic) is not as serious as many previous ones. 35 of them rank higher in the seriousness tables. Boris has just spent many £millions encouraging people to get back to pubs and restaurants, and now he is spending a few more £millions to see if he can shut them down again. Maybe his secret agenda is to force us all to use government run soup kitchens in the future.

They seem to be ramping up testing as well. I guess they have to get in quickly to detect the debris left by apoptosis before our bodies dispose of it.

now jetcash. i know your in fantasy land. but boris was busy in parliament yesterday and trump was in the west of america talking about forret fires. they were not in your local morrisons cafe

why are all of your posts filled with fantasy/crazy talk. ?
you pretend to be against liars and fantasists but you seem to be one of the most lying fantasists here. and this is a forum that includes badecker. so take that as an insult to compare you as more of a fantasist than him

@Jet Cash I’m sorry to say this but I feel that this lock down has made you delusional because those leaders couldn’t be at the cafe, and further @franky1 has correctly pointed out their locations. Also I can understand your need to downplay covid, because this allows you the freedom to roam outside, and have your daily cup of coffee. However it’s my kind request that you understand the gravity of this situation before it’s too late, and stop putting yourself and others around you at risk by downplaying effects of covid.

He downplayed covid effect results was catastrophic: https://www.complex.com/life/2020/09/trump-admitted-playing-down-coronavirus-unreleased-audio
