#essentialworkers need a boost
Being an #essentialworker is a hard gig these days so the little things I can do to help with mental wellness for our team members is, well, essential.
Hope it helps to boost a bit of morale and make ppl smile and laugh.
Please make sure when you do need to visit your local supermarket, dairy, service station or medical premises that you smile and say thanks. They are all under enormous pressure. Dealing with the negativity of customers who just have no patience or understanding or are downright rude is tough mentally. Lots of these staff members are younger people who are still getting to grips with this type of situation and are not necessarily mature enough or have tough skins.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
