8. I am high risk and have worked a retail counter every day of the pandemic

Shooting dice with God...I don't have much choice, really. Every day I've had at least one or two customers that insist on pulling my chain over the face mask and splash shield I wear. At least the governor here has issued a statewide mandatory mask requirement (even if one with no enforcement teeth). I still have one third of customers entering my store without a mask. This is an improvement over the one third wearing them while we were in phase II (non-essential businesses opened). As of now the twenty and thirty-somethings patronizing local bars and restaraunts appear to be the highest risk to me personally as they don't seem to be taking this seriously at all.
