Servers at pub not wearing masks - is this ok?

[Catyness]

I've been to 2 pubs now since they've re-opened outside. I was surprised last night that the servers/waiters weren't wearing any type of face covering. They stood around 1m away to take the order then would be right at the table when delivering the drinks.

Is this allowed? Is this safe?

I did feel uncomfortable and won't be rushing back there I'm afraid.

yep - the WHO themselves said that the main benefit of enforced mask-wearing for all is that makes those who want to wear a mask feel less self-conscious

Is there any evidence for this claim?

Sorry this is directed at @AlecTrevelyan006

Sorry @AlecTrevelyan006....just realised that claim was meant to be taken with a pinch of salt. Ignore me.

I work in a pub, was quite surprised we didn't have to wear masks when we first opened. The police have been in a few times and were happy. We do have to wear themif we are behind the bar or in the kitchen though

A denier is someone who thinks the whole thing including face covers has been a load of over egged bollocks

Right so, as I said in my previous post, where has that been said on this thread?

'You don't like it because you've fully bought into the idea that these constantly touched and constantly reused bits of fabric are keeping you "safe". They aren't. It's theatre.'

Here you are Bat, one of your sneering comments suggesting that rules (ie wearing face covers) are 'theatre' and not actually suggested by y'know scientific folk like PHE to actually help reduce transmission. This is you denying face covers are needed. Do keep up.
