Few days ago, I had an older man come through my cash at the LCBO.
I started off normally: "How are you today?"
"Bad," he responded.
"Oh, what's up?" I said, surprised.
"I can't breathe through this damn mask," he said to me, a person who wears a mask all shift (including breaks) https://twitter.com/TorontoStar/status/1341693796027932672

"Okay," I said. Already done with the conversation.
"I have a medical exemption, but I've been watching the videos, you know? On YouTube," he continued unprompted.
But my curiosity was piqued.
"Oh? Which videos?" I asked as I finished ringing through his purchase.

"Where people without masks get tackled by security," he said. "I don't want that, but I can't breathe," he said - while obviously not short of breath.
"Do you collect AirMiles?" I said - done with this conversation again, and not willing to engage.

"No," he sighed haughtily, implying that I should know that already.
"How are you paying today?" I continue.
"Debit," he says.
*the receipt prints*
"Receipt in the bag okay?" I ask.
"Sure," he says. "It's such a pain having to wear this inside for so long," he says, unprompted.

"Okay," I say. I imagine he was in the store about 5 minutes. My shift is 5 hours, I do not have a problem with the mask.
"You're all set here. Goodbye," I say. Forgoing my usual "have a good one."
Do not complain to retail employees about your mask.

Do not complain to retail employees about your mask.
Do not complain to ANYONE about your mask.
Especially do not complain about your mask to someone providing a service for you when it's obvious you are not wearing a mask regularly.
Wear a mask or stay home.
