No masks ffs

Took my two dc to the evening showing of Spider-Man last night and the cinema was pretty much full with hardly anyone wearing a mask. I was really shocked. I thought this was a rule now in indoor spaces and after I made the booking I received an email from the cinema chain saying that everyone was expected to wear make inside unless exempt. It was really hot in there and no distancing (previously I think cinemas made some seats unavailable to create bigger spaces between people). I just felt really uncomfortable.

Obviously I realise I could have got up and left but didn't want to disappoint two excited kids. Plus they've both had it recently so it was only really me at risk.

Has anyone else experienced this in cinemas? With rates so high and it being close to Christmas I just would have thought people might be more careful.

I wear a mask where I must but if I don’t have to I won’t - so at cinema I would get food so I could watch a film comfortably. I struggle with mask wearing and avoid places I need to wear them for too long. However I test regularly for my job so I’m pretty sure I’m no risk to anyone when out and about and would take the extra precautions if I had to or had been in contact with someone who had COVID.
