Through these tough times. Do you think it's a good idea if FAB offers Key workers free silver membership for a month?

What your thoughts?

Nope.

How would you prove you're a key worker anyway?

Quite honestly, key workers are in high demand at the moment and are basically keeping us ticking over. I wouldn’t have thought many would have had time on their hands to scroll Fab just at the moment so doubt it would be appreciated but I get the sentiment.. they’re doing a fine old job out there aren’t they..

No it's only a few quid anyhow to be a site supporter and I'm saying that as someone who is an essential worker at present. And it would be impossible to prove you are anyhow. No one is going to want disclose where they work on a site like this.

No. I'm sure key workers are far better occupied at the moment.

Why? Barely got enough time to browse on fab.

Fab is just a quick browse, a quick post and then gone.

Times like this. They should increase it if anything, stop all the time wasters.

Why on earth are people looking for freebies all the time?

If £5 would bankrupt you, then you have the choice of just making do with the site as it is

Not quite over the hill

Not at all. There are a lot of key workers uncomfortable with the premise of freebies & discounts. Its great that people want to express their gratitude, and some of the gestures we’ve seen have been amazing, but its also a time when there are many who will be having a tough time with no salary or income coming in.

Some key workers are not allowed to accept gifts as it could be seen as bribery or cohertion.

Plus I wouldnt want my membership paid for.

I wouldn't expect it and would be worried about how I would prove I am. I've had to share my NHS email address for other offers I wouldn't want to share that with fab

No. We are all in this together and should be treated as equals. I just do the job i am trained and chose to do but do not feel as if i deserve special treatment.

I think it’s bloody daft

Membership IS free

The £5 is to support the site, and a few wee extras

To be honest as a key worket I am spending so little time on here it would because fairly empty gesture, key workers arent the ones killing time on here.

Now if the site could make it mandatory for all key workers to receive boob pics from thankful women that would be great

I’m a key worker and I wouldn’t want Fab and here to cross to be honest.

I am happy with being allowed in the supermarket a little earlier that will do me.

Also in a purely pragmatic and somewhat cold way, I'm not going to be struggling for cash when this goes on. My partner is working from home, I'm a key worker, our essential expenditure has reduced considerably and all of our social outlets are gone. So I don't need thanking with 'free' membership when other people are going to be financially crippled with this if you want to thank me, stay the fuck at home, wash your hands and practice social distancing

So you want to give free membership to the people actually still working, what about the ones who have lost their jobs, who aren’t going to get paid or get 80% of their wages ?!

Your idea is in the right heart but it’s not possible to prove who and who isn’t a key worker using a swinging site

My benefit seems to involve still getting up at 04.15 to be at work for 6.00 and running my arse off all day due to staff shortages

As a key worker, I couldn’t have put it better myself

Lots of info on gov website. They list who is a key worker. I'm in there and I'll just pay for my membership if that's OK
