Do you wear a face covering at the supermarket?

I don’t normally but I have a coldsore so think I’ll wear one tomorrow, hopefully I won’t get any passive aggressive comments from other shoppers that have been reported here.

No, here there’s definitely less people wearing them than not wearing.

Yes. I keep it in the car so I have it. Alot were wearing them today.

No but if others do that’s their business not mine .

No. I only go late at night though, there's barely anyone there and it's easy to distance.

Yes, always. Saves on lippy.

I bought some disposable dust masks for sanding back in January. Been using them and leave them in the car.

Around here nobody’s bothered anymore I don’t think, I am generally one of two or three people wearing one!!

No. I can't wear them as I'm asthmatic and can't breathe properly. I had to wear them when I was a practising doctor and hated it then. Now older and asthma worse so no.

Yes, but I'm in the minority. No one has ever said anything to me.

Nope. I don't own one either.

I've seen maybe two people wearing them all week.

Yes.

I wore mine today in the shops because I have a cold sore and didn’t want people to see it. I never felt bad about cold sores until mumsnet

Yes

Yes I do. I work in a hospital so want to reduce me transmitting it as much as possible

Yeah I wear one and so does my 5 yr old. We do it to protect other people more than anything. Nobody has tutted at us. I assume they feel a bit safer with one less person breathing all over them?

I wore one on my last trip to the supermarket and I felt a bit silly because I was the only person wearing one! This was a big megastore type supermarket as well so lots of shoppers. I was quite surprised and I don't think I'll bother again to be honest.

No. I need to get one for stuff like the GP and trains.

No

Nobody would make a comment to someone wearing one in the supermarket I was in. The trend was towards wearing.

No, very few people wear then where I live. I work in retail & am reopening, we are provided with masks but it is not compulsory that we wear them.

Nope

I live in Portugal and we have to wear them inside shops etc. Otherwise we are not allowed in. You get used to it quite quickly. It’s not comfortable. The disposable ones are best. You can breathe more easily. The triple layer fabric ones are horrific.

Yes

Yes I always have one with me when out and wear it when I'm anywhere near anybody.

Who cares what anyone else thinks about it, if others don't want to take precautions, good luck to them, they might need the luck.

If anyone says anything negative about it , ignore them, why would you bother to respond? They don't care about you or themselves, why care about them?

Yes, I wear one. I hate them, they are uncomfortable and I feel self conscious either way. It's probably about 50:50 in our area. I wear it to show respect for others. I don't believe it will prevent me catching anything and think I had Covid already ( daughter tested positive) do I think I'm unlikely to infect anyone with Covid but I understand that other people I may meet don't know that, so may be more comfortable passing someone with a face mask than without.

I find it so odd that anyone doesn't want to. If you have asthma or another medical reason fair enough but the reason for wearing them is to protect others. So selfish not to care. Most people where I am have then on in shops.
