So, if I’m a member of the public, I need to wear a mask (if I can). If I’m a member of staff, I don’t, and can move around shouting to other staff members and make limited, if any, attempts to socially distance. At least, that was my experience in Waitrose the other day.
I’m personally not overly concerned about masks in supermarkets as I think the risk is pretty low, but surely either:
a) the risk is negligible enough that masks don’t need to be mandated in shops;
Or
b) the risks are significant enough for masks to be mandated (for those that can) by those moving around the shop floor.
Shop workers aren’t immune from having the virus. In fact, given they work as a team that doesn’t seem to socially distance, their risk of being infected would seem higher than a formerly shielded shopper who’s trying to be ultra careful.
