We need to call up our local supermarket and DEMAND that they sell or make available the masks that they require customers to wear. WHY AREN'T THEY AVAILABLE IN EVERY STORE JUST FOR THE ASKING?
I would think that masks would be profitable items for sale or could give retailers free advertising (especially for a website that offers groceries on a delivery basis).
I have noticed that cashiers and stockers wear masks at Wal*Mart. Kroger, where its stores are unionized, got them through the union (at least in Michigan).
As a customer I try to shame people without masks... and I praise people for wearing them. Maybe we can do that. I got mine for donating blood at a Red Cross blood drive. Carrot and stick -- try to be nice overall.
