I’m guessing that the crazy and violent incidents and reactions that have happened around the country by non mask wearers when they have simply been asked to put on a mask has made it dangerous and unsafe for employees to even approach someone and make a simple request to don a mask for the safety and health of those around them.
There have been quite a few articles published that state if you can’t wear a mask they said you are probably not wearing it correctly. “There are no medical conditions that preclude someone from wearing a simple surgical face mask because they have no effect on the respiratory mechanics.”
One doctor said, “If your respiratory status is truly that tenuous that you can’t breathe through a cloth face- covering, you should stay home and not expose yourself to any risk.” If you are truly that fragile, a COVID-19 infection could be a death sentence.”
I feel bad for all the establishments that are trying to keep their employees and us safe but have to deal with the attitudes of those people that continue to refuse to follow the rules and continue to do as they darn well please.
By the way, wearing the mask below your nose or as a “chin guard” does not count as having a mask on!

Nice post as you make some good points. My wife and I took our grandson out to eat last night. Amazing, everyone was wearing a mask. As we walked through the interior of the restaurant to get to the patio, everyone inside was also wearing a mask. If this behavior happened a few months ago, many more lives would have been saved.
