BrokenDown Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 I appreciate this is just one example, but in my local co-op earlier today I saw 100% customer compliance with masks (Children excluded) and 0% staff wearing masks, so not quite sure how my local co-op could legitimately call out a customer for not wearing a mask even if they wanted to.

BrokenDown Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) Sorry yes you are right, they don’t have too but it seems odd that’s all, in a small shop where they are in the aisles restocking, I fully appreciate they don’t have a choice where they are as it’s their job but I can reconcile it with shops (potentially) telling customers to wear masks (which obviously customers should be doing).

Wearing masks in these enclosed spaces can save lives, I just don’t get why some people are so selfish and don’t care about anyone else but themselves so think they are entitled not to stick to the law. Me me me culture and don't like change would probably sum up a certain contingent of the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have loads of personal experience of this, but what I have heard from a German friend is pretty much similar to here. I have a German friend who says everyone just gets on with the masks, and apparently they have a contact tracing app which is very good as well. She was shocked at how relaxed the rules are here compared to over in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being able to try anything on has definitely put me off, I've just ordered some stuff online. Less hassle to return by post than to the shop. I understand why the rule is there obviously, but I can see it having a negative impact on the high street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 It's a tough one - I'd feel sorry for shop workers on minimum wage having to wear a mask for 8 hours a day when customers are only having to wear them for a few minutes while they are in the shop! I can't wait to take mine off as soon as I'm out of the shop (especially when the weather is warm - sweaty face & all that). I would feel safer if they were wearing them though!
