I’ve heard some stores are going through their entire supply of repair PIN pads because the employees are spraying the disinfectant right into the keyboards, which are not engineered to repel liquid spills.
This jerk didn’t make anyone’s life easier or better. I hope his visit from the Mounties recalibrates his attitude.

Could we skip the “Gentlemen” mannerism for stuff like that, @Carla_Sinclair? Please? Change the headlines? Would that be possible?

I believe the Chicago Rules of Style state that one must refer to Florida Man as a “gentleman”. As he’s from Quebec, I suppose she could technically bend that rule, but he’s sure acting like Florida Man.

In times like this, my smirks are stifled
“Gentilhomme”, then.

Some of us could use some levity at this time. If it’s not to your taste, skip the topic. You don’t get to make editorial decisions for the BB authors.

I get that. But I feel like I have to keep smiling at the little things or everything will get real dark real fast, and I surely don’t need that right now.

However, fuck that guy in the video. Assholes must be called assholes now

So? The guy’s such an ass the Mounties are going to ride across provincial borders and go give him a stern, disapproving look on their own.

They should install those blister covers that protects the keys so they can be sprayed as much as needed (a workplace of mine once had them on all the PC keyboards because no amount of rules and orders could keep crumbs & dust & debris etc. from getting under the keys). I’ve never seen a PIN-pad-sized one, but it can’t be impossible.

I have seen them before but not for a long while. Someone probably decided they were not needed…

Every Chinese restaurant I’ve been in locally has every electronic device just covered in Saran Wrap. Cash register, card machine… everything. I’ve often wondered if it’s as much to maintain a secondary market value as it is for sanitary purposes.

“Backpfeifengesicht” comes to mind.
Thank you, John Oliver!
