You want your server to wear a mask so they can’t spread the virus to you, but you have no problem sitting at your table, potentially spreading the virus to your server?!? If you were truly concerned about others, you wouldn’t be eating at a restaurant. Or are you really only worried about yourself...
I think that wearing a mask is for the protection of both the person wearing it and those nearby. Here is what Dr. Fauci recently said to Congress.

"Masks are extremely important," Fauci said, adding, "There's no doubt that wearing masks protects you and gets you to be protected. So it's people protecting each other. Anything that furthers the use of masks, whether it's giving out free masks or any other mechanism, I am thoroughly in favor of."
