Whenever I'm out, I see that most seniors comply with the mask rule. I think many seniors are cautious because they know they are in a higher risk group.
My experience has been that younger people are the ones that don't wear a mask when they go into a grocery store or other buildings.

My experience, as someone who actually works in one of those grocery stores, is that it's a mixed bag. There are seniors who refuse to wear them, and non-senior grownup adults who refuse to wear them. There are some who don't actually refuse, they just don't give it a second thought. And there are some who intended to wear them but forgot to bring them with them, and those folks usually apologize for it, or go back to their cars and retrieve them out of the glove compartment (or the rear view mirror, where it was hanging).
The ones who make sure we all know they're refusing to wear them - are mostly seniors. The ones who seem to be oblivious are mostly the grown up adults. Strangely enough, the young adults - the teenagers and young 20-somethings - tend to be more vigilant than any other demographic. They are almost always covering their mouths and noses with a mask in the stores.
