The poor guy....You imagine what can happen once Wells Fargo COO Scott Power forces required RTO 10/18/2021. He unleashed those lunatic, belligerent and unruly customers and employees who are anti-Vax and anti-mask, they cough, sneeze and share closed rooms, while Wells Fargo hypocrites corporate elites, executives, managers sitting in office palace, mansions, beach houses, lala land, they dont give a fu-k.

So sad that so many people are upset about the fact that long term studies are still being done. Why downvote that? They are being done, the FDA explicitly cites the studies being done. You people are something else.
"When I was young, I wondered why they got on those boxcars. Now I saw it with first the masks and now the vax.
Most people are compliant ZOMBIES."
Sounds like the guy that got his dander up over a mask.
It's about public health, the boxcars you mention were the opposite, galaxy brain, and wow, offensive and ignorant is no way to make friends.

You have to love how certain people distract from the actual subject by posting something else.
Shiny object over there!
Squirrel!
You can take a partial statement from anyone and make it look like anything. Doesn’t make it true.
"Still waiting on the long term studies that will show safety and efficacy in pregnant women, pediatrics, and pericarditis/myocarditis that will be completed between 2023-2025. Check the FDAs official website for their approval letter on Pfizer that explicitly states these timelines."
Love that my very truthful statement got down voted so much. Apparently citing the FDA is not approved. Again, the approval letter comes directly from the FDA's website. It specifically outlines a significant number or longterm studies about efficacy and safety. I did post the actual link to the FDAs web page previously but it was deleted.
Everyone knows a porous cloth mask is the best protection….
Hate crime. Lock the attacker up and throw away the key.
The Branch Manager can not only sue the attacker, he can also sue Wells Fargo because he was attacked while enforcing Wells Fargo policies. There is precedent here. I hope he makes a full recovery.

Before I was displaced, and at the height of the initial outbreak, before we went to appointment only, a customer came in unmasked despite the signage, free masks etc. I was navigating and grabbed a mask for him to wear. He went ballistic! Started screaming all this "Q" nonsense, threw the mask at me and walked out while giving us all the finger.
I'm just glad to be out of that toxic nightmare! Between the people and fellow "Q" team members, it was the best thing that could have happened. Had a few month off paid and landed a job with better pay and benefits and work remotely to boot! I'll take my home, wife and fur babies over the general public any day!
Well, this is what it's come to (purposeful link to a certain media outlet that can't be brushed aside by the skeptical): https://www.foxnews.com/health/alabama-icu-beds-covid-19-surge
Meanwhile, a man from Cullman AL (the same city where a certain rally was held a couple Saturdays back) needed an ICU for his heart last week, but COVID patients had filled up 43 Alabama ICUs, forcing him to 200 miles away to Meridian MS, where he passed away.
You wear your mask to protect others. You get the vaccination to protect yourself. The more people are protected, the fewer people are in the ICUs.
And don't assume old, obese people infected with COVID are the only folks in need of ICUs. This situation is absolutely shameful but was easily avoidable.
It’s just the GQP and their cult followers that’s lost their freaking minds. The rest of the country still has some sense.
Likely upset because of all the fake accounts that were opened in their name.
This whole nation is a powder keg.
That guy probably posts here
Yikes. Hope the video cameras were working at the branch and they can identify the guy.
Really banks should just permanently setup to provide either drive up or outside walk up only. If you absolutely must sit with someone at a desk inside, you can be buzzed in.
People working at branches or other businesses should never be put in this position. If people want to engage in anti-social behavior then they can conduct their business standing outside behind bullet proof glass.
This won’t get better, people have lost all sense of societal responsibility. They want all the privileges and benefits of living in a community and none of the responsibility. The only logical response is to treat them the same they are acting.
I wonder if CS will post something on teamworks.
I’m a branch manager and I have people lunge at me and of course say every curse word and derogatory comment they can muster because they are asked to wear masks. People that physical branch aren’t usually the best example of intelligence anyway but Covid and really brought out the crazy in customers. Had one guy say, “I don’t wear a mask, I drive a tow truck” I could only respond, “ I’m pretty sure Covid doesn’t care that you drive a tow truck” to which he responded, “you really believe this virus is real huh?” This was very recently too.
Sep. 9—A Grover Beach bank manager and Army veteran says he was called a racist slur and then attacked and beaten in the parking lot — all because he asked a customer to wear a mask.
Police have confirmed they are investigating a report of a hate crime and battery that occurred in the city last week, but they declined to disclose further details.
- , who asked to remain anonymous because he is concerned about his and his family's safety, told The Tribune he was at work at the Wells Fargo on Grand Avenue the afternoon of Sept. 3 when a man walked in without a mask.
The man appeared to be in his mid-40s, bald and about 5 feet, 11 inches tall with an athletic build, A. said.
- said he approached the man and "greeted him like I do every other client." A. asked the man to wear a mask if he was going to do business in the lobby.
"He responded aggressively," A. told The Tribune in an interview Wednesday.
- offered one of the extra masks the bank keeps on hand for customers, to which the man became even more hostile and at one point began rooting through cabinets and drawers in the bank lobby.
- asked him to stop and warned he would call the police to remove the man from the property.
"Then he says, 'Well, you f—n' sp—,' " said A., who is Hispanic. "He's like, 'Come outside.'"
Then the man said, "I better not catch you outside," A. said. "Sort of famous last words."
- said he didn't think much of the incident after the man left, chalking it up to heightened tensions around the county's mask mandate.
But at the end of A.'s shift around 5:30 p.m., the man showed up in the parking lot while A. was trying to get into his car, he said.
The man grabbed him by the back and pushed him toward the small wall that lines the parking lot and began "wailing on him," A. said.
- said he at first was dazed but then slowly realized what was going on and began to fight back. It was also at this time he first recognized the man attacking him as the same person who had made threats earlier in the day, he said.
"I'm starting to gather myself a bit, and I realize I'm under attack," he said.
The two fought and at one point, A. reached up and attempted to choke the man.
At this time, A. said he could hear one of his coworkers, who had also been leaving work at the same time, calling the police from her car.
Soon after, the man tried to flee, A. said. So he took off his suit jacket, pulled off his tie and ran after the man, A. said.
After chasing him up the block, with the sound of sirens approaching from the distance, the two ended up in the front yard of a home where A. was on one side of a car and the man on the other, he said.
When A. looked back to the approaching police to point out his attacker, the man scaled a nearby fence and disappeared, A. said.
- 's wife, who initially contacted The Tribune regarding the incident, said her husband was in the emergency room after the attack with a concussion and lacerations to the head, hand and face.
"I've been in banking for 22 years now," A. said. "Folks often maybe disagree with some of the rules and policies and they make their statements — to include threats — and, you know, that's about it, and they never made good on it."
This was different, he said.
"It's crazy," he added. "The guy went home, he plotted, he laid in wait, he ambushed me. And he called me a 'sp—.' I'm thinking, 'Gosh, you know, he completely escalated on his own. He didn't like the idea of having to wear a mask.'"
In a statement to The Tribune on Wednesday night, Grover Beach Mayor Jeff Lee said he was "angry and saddened to learn that this happened in Grover Beach."
"We are an inclusive and diverse city and hateful speech and activity has no place in our, or any, community," he said.
Lee asked the community to contact the Police Department with any information regarding the incident.
Grover Beach police investigating battery, hate crime incident
- said he informed police at the scene about what happened, gave his statement and was told they would be in further contact with him after the weekend.
In a statement to The Tribune, Grover Beach Police Chief John Peters confirmed there was a report filed regarding a battery and hate crime in the Wells Fargo parking lot.
Peters declined to release any victim information and said the suspect has still not been identified.
"Our detectives are following up on some leads currently, so we will see if those pan out," he said in an email to The Tribune. "If necessary, we may post an image on social media of the suspect if we are not able to positively identify them in the near future."
The Police Department did not put out a news release following the incident, which Peters said was to "protect the integrity of the investigation so we can get a successful prosecution."
"A release at this time would be premature and could negatively impact our investigation," he wrote.
As of Wednesday, A. said he has not heard from police on the investigation and believes his attacker is still on the loose.
"It's pretty frustrating to (know he is) running around, and I'm trying to get all the help that I can get," A. said, "so that, you know, he can be charged and held accountable."
- has not been back to work since the incident.
"They haven't caught this guy ... so I don't know if it's a good idea to go back and sit there until we do have an ID on him," he said.
In the meantime, A. urged people to be aware of heightened tensions surrounding mask mandates.
"Folks are pretty serious about this mask policy," he said. "It's sad, but there's a mask mandate and folks are taking it a bit too far. They're getting a bit too serious. So, you have to be careful."
Hate crime reported in Pismo Beach in April
This is the second high-profile hate crime to be reported in the South County this year.
In April, a group of white men attacked a Black man in front of Brad's Restaurant in Pismo Beach. One witness, the father of the girlfriend of the man who was attacked, said he felt the incident was racially motivated.
Soon after, the city of Pismo Beach launched an investigation into the incident, saying "racism, violence and hate are not welcome in Pismo Beach." No arrests have since been announced in the case.

Oy
I'm shocked to see that people with no social conscience whatsoever - anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers - would behave like sociopaths.
Shocked I tell you!
To be fair, he was already attempting manslaughter by his reckless disregard for however many people he may spread covid to. What's a little A&B in comparison to that? Seems hardly free to let people walk free ki----g people but to punish a little beating of low paid retail workers.
Beat him to the ground. None of their damn business. Basic human right to choose.
I hope the branch mgr is OK :(
Anti-vaxxers / anti-maskers lack critical thinking and compassion.
We're done dealing with this deadly minority trying to hold the majority hostage.
I hope the man who beat the poor branch manager up is banned from wells fargo for life. You don't beat people up for doing their job and following the local laws.
