Default Why No Masks?

So every night I go to Wawa on RT 441 across from the hospital and most nights there are at least two members of the Villages Community Watch, usually one supervisor, on their break.

When you walk into Wawa there's a large sandwich board sign in the lobby asking patrons to wear a mask or facial covering while in the store. Tonight two Community Watch members were in tne store sans masks. Why is this?

Shouldn't The Villages and their entities help to try to control the spread of the virus and require their employees while in public places to wear a mask?

I mean the sheriff's are, the fire department, the EMS personnel are all wearing masks in public. It's not a hard ask and the optic is good.

Could it be they find it difficult to drink and eat with a mask on?

Oy, yet another mask thread. Had you asked them you would have had your answer. All we can do is speculate.

Presumably they were ordering food not eating it.

Call Community Watch and ask? They may have had a good reason and if they didn't your call may help all of us.

Than can be said - and has been said -of many thousands of people here (and everywhere) but no one can answer for those 2 guys other than themselves since you asked specifically about them. Oh, and you are 100000% correct but "it is what it is."

Considering the risk of contracting Covid why do you go every night to WAWA? They sell no groceries or prescription drugs and as you noticed there are people who don't wear a mask. I go to the grocery store and pharmacy out of necessity but don't go anywhere else. I'll take that back, the wife and I have eaten out 4 times since January but went during off busy hours to avoid a crowd.

Maybe they’re not wearing them because they know that they are basically useless! Also this is still the United States of America as far as I know, and people have the freedom to do what they feel is best for themselves. I am so tired of the paranoia over a virus that is so benign that you have to go get a test to even know whether you have it or not. The American public has really been played on this one!

The masks do nothing. Zip. We have failed the test.

Likely they are on their own time and not getting paid for their break so can do as they wish, eat and have a break.
