They're requiring us to wear them at work now, effective 2 days ago. Inside the store it's not -too- bad, but wiping down carts in a hot front foyer and bringing carts in under the hot sun is VERY difficult to breathe, when your mouth and nose are both covered. The sweat soaks the mask, and that makes it even harder than just wearing a mask in a comfortably air-conditioned atmosphere.
What's worse - they have limited masks, so we only get one. We have to re-use it, or provide our own.
I hate these masks. But I wear them because a) I'm required to if I want to continuing working for them and b) some of our customers have zero respect for social distancing - so if this will even *reduce* my odds of getting sick, among so much exposure to the virus, I'll begrudgingly comply.
