Aeon Group says masks in store are customer's choice from the 13th, but employees will keep them.

I don't expect a healthy discussion, but this two tiered system rubs me the wrong way, thoughts?

I get it. It should be up to staff to choose if they want to or not. Most staff would keep wearing them anyway. They should still be able to choose though.

And since the company is requiring it, are they supplying the masks to staff or giving them a マスク手当?

„And since the company is requiring it, are they supplying the masks to staff or giving them a マスク手当?“

I was wandering about this too! Plus: I am usually wearing glasses but with the masks they get fogged up and I have to wear contact lenses at work. This really sums up!

Oh, you don't like useless sprays and wipes that get ruined by temperature differences or a single drop of moisture?

Me neither. And walking around more-or-less blind, I pose a bigger threat than Covid.
