(21,346 posts)where I was had her nose uncovered, which is the same as not wearing a mask at all. I politely asked her to please cover her nose while she checked out my items. She said that she couldn't because then she can't breathe. She had a surgical mask, same as me. I said that I have asthma and I manage to breathe ok with a mask on.
Then she said it was uncomfortable. I said she would feel a lot more uncomfortable on a ventilator.
She finally pulled up the mask, but pulled it down again immediately after finishing my order. As I left, I heard the guy behind me making the same request of her that I had made. I considered suggesting that she find a job where she wouldn't deal with the public if mask wearing bothers her, but decided to just drop it and left.
