Store clerks not wearing masks properly

The last two times I've been in the local grocery, I've seen produce clerks re-stocking displays who aren't wearing face masks properly. The last time he didn't have his nose covered. This morning, the one I saw had the mask completely tucked under his chin. Produce clerks, of all store workers, should be wearing masks. People may want to eat some fruits and veggies uncooked.
 

There needs to be a clamp-down on this for sure.

Employees who are required to wear masks, if found to be in violation of not wearing them or wearing them improperly, should be sent home.
 
At Wendy's recently the person behind the counter and fiberglass shield had her mask down off her face and moved from behind the shield when talking to the customers. I have yet to see the mandatory mask rule enforced in any store that post the requirement by the front door. I have seen several employees wearing masks but not over their noses. Oh well, we try.

The shields I find laughable. Everything should be glassed-in. Solid glass walls with appropriate openings.

One thing that burns me is that we are instructed to report these violators to the county health department. When I called, I was told "We can't police the whole county!"
So there you go!

Same old - same old... IMO the whole thing has turned into an all-out farce.

I don't believe so, but what I do see is an incredible amount of fresh new waste being added to our already stressed landfill sites, once the pandemic resides and life returns to a semi form of normality, where Plexiglas shields will be torn down and tossed, and aside from creating a false sense of initial security, will go down in history as being one more level of needless waste and resources.

I would save the shields if I was a store....this isn’t going to be the last virus like this one....I feel it’s just the beginning....

Just call me Debbie Downer but that’s how I feel.

Not at all, you don't whatsoever sound like a Debbie Downer, I have the same mindset as you, just would have been nice to see something more permanent and long-lasting installed, like proper architecturally designed glass enclosures, because all of Plexiglas enclosures I have encountered are inferior, unsightly, and look as though they were haphazardly slapped together and will not last.

You are right about that....I agree....they seem fairly useless, at least the ones I’ve seen.

Oh, CeeCee, you don't know how much your post is music to my ears, as I thought maybe it was just my picky self critiquing how mickey-mouse and shoddy a good portion of the Plexiglas shields are. :)
 
Business owners are influenced by their customers. Tell the owner or manager that it concerns you and that you're taking your business elsewhere and then do it.

By seeing it and not saying that it bothers you and THEN continuing to spend your money there, you are silently saying it is OK
 
I hope the shields are kept in current shape or better. Even before the current virus it was unpleasant to have to deal with a clerk with a bad cold & no sense of hygiene.

See now, that's been a real contentious issue with me since the dawn of time, people leaving the house sick, and spreading it around to everyone else. It's this reason alone why I want to see continued Covid-19 measure remain in place... the shields, the electronic thermometer temperature testing of people's foreheads, everything.
 
Were they wearing glasses? I noticed some kept having their glasses fog up while working. I can hardly read the print on some items even with glasses, then to have the glasses fog over too would make me nuts.

Just "nuts"? It would put me in a rubber-room! :)

Then again, the two sort of go hand-in-hand, don't they?
 
My 2 cents, went to the grocery store this AM. Followed the social distancing, mask & touching my face. When parking a middle-aged gentleman parked his Harley next to me, got off, took his helmet off, then walked into the store, sans mask. Whatever, Then going through the store I noticed that several shoppers were without masks and ignoring the personal space of others. A high percentage of them were possibly from the ethnic group that has been reporting a high incidence of Covid-19. Again whatever, personally I have 2 strikes again me. senior & have health issues. Some I guess are more bullet proof than I.

And that's the shame of it all... if only people would respect simple guidelines.
 
Well I sweat wearing a mask. Not just a normal layer of moisture. It drips off my hair, runs down my face, into my eyes, and down my back. A little fogging would be the least of my problems. Don't touch your face, ha. My face is dripping everywhere.
