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.
And it's a shame that your store doesn't enforce. It seems they are appeasing the issuers of the guidelines rather than care for their employees and their customers. Your store isn't alone but Walmart and Sam's are better at enforcement.
