Dear Editor,<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Today at approximately 1:45pm I visited the social protection board to collect a vohcher.<\/p>\n

Upon my arrival within the building a lady greeted me with an unprofessional attitude asking “Where is my mask?” I then told her yes.. I saw the signs up but i have been in here numerous times even up to last week without a mask.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

That said lady started to shout on the other employees (Who aren’t wearing any masks) within the office asking why people are coming in here without masks.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

She then turned to me offering to sell me a mask for $3.00. I explained to her that i am here to pickup and i do not have any money.<\/p>\n

We then began to stare at each other for about 2mins. She decided to assist me after dealing with other customers.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

After collecting the voucher i told her that 4 – 5*persons literally just came him & they weren’t greeted by your attitude.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, I have been to many places even at MSJMC and I do not have to wear any mask.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

A gentleman in the office shouted “You cya tell us wah fuh do inna we place”<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

I left disgusted by the behavior & the lack of customer service I experienced from this establishment.<\/p>\n
