When there is a sign at the door stating masks must be worn why is this not policed by the supermarket staff? Why are these people still allowed to shop and go to the checkout maskless? I wear a mask to protect myself and to protect others from me just in case I become positive, It just makes my blood boil these fuckwits getting away with it. Ok rant over.
I fully agree. The worst is when the staff aren't wearing them, or aren't wearing them properly - ie not over their nose. Not only is that not doing anything useful, but it means that they have touched it, and then, if the mask has been doing its job and collecting virus particles, they have just contaminated their hands. To pass on to the next thing they touch. And so on.
One thing about old people too - they seem to be the ones who pull the mask down to talk. Doh!

I sometimes leave a mask on when I'm just driving a short distance to the next place I'm stopping. So long as it isn't going to suddenly fog my glasses, that can be less bother than taking it off and putting another one on.
(Every mask I put on gets done in the car, using the mirror to make sure it is as well fitted as it can be. Every mask I take off goes into a queue on the back seat of the car and doesn't get touched again for a week.)
