There’s less point in insisting customers to put a covering over the nose and mouth if they coughed into their hand before entering the shop and touch door handles, products and handle cash etc. I have a big hand sanitiser pump at the door and ask all customers to use it, I also get customers to put cash in a tub which I sanitise before putting it back in the tub. i also regularly sanitise door, fridge handles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuteWitness Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Are you going to tell us what or at least where the shop is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure if people are being as careful about hand sanitising lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockers rule Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Went to a Tesco's yesterday (somewhere I don't usually frequent). All the right things - one way in one way out, hand sanitisers, etc etc etc. So why the hell was every single one of the staff who were putting fresh veg out wearing their masks below their noses ????????? There were at least 6 of them and a supervisor present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Foster Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Why they were wearing them under their noses i have no idea, but shop staff have no legal requirement to wear them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know Tesco policy but, perhaps there is an expectation for how many cages staff have to unload onto shelves per day? Those cages can be heavy. Maybe leaving the nose uncovered makes it easier to breath as they work? In which case, I'd suggest they don't wear a mask because as you say, they are not required to. I have no idea if they have temperature checks before starting work. Edited September 3, 2020 by Arnold_Lane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thirsty Relic Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 An increasing number of shop staff I see are using visors instead of masks. They can breath easier, and also talk to each other. I assume that the thinking is that they are regularly disinfected, so perhaps they are as safe as masks for both the wearer and others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockers rule Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 All other staff in all other areas with masks on or behind screens but those in the Fresh food only 1/2 covered up just seemed strange to me. Ok some times depending on the mask it is nice to 'come up for air' as it were, but why all 6 of them? Looked more like common practice to me. Keep safe.

Not having the nose covered should hardly make any difference so I wouldn't worry needlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmiss Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 What concerns me most about masks is do all the fashion accessory type masks get a boil wash after each use as recommended-I don’t think so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
