I debated wearing a mask to the coffee shop this morning after my unmasked dog walk. But everyone - 6 customers and 2 staff - were masked, so I put mine on before going in. But man ... I can't wait to not wear a mask any more.
I'm still serving out the front door and no one came to the stand without a mask today. One guy asked if he could quit wearing it when he comes to buy coffee. I asked if he was vaccinated (he was) and I said hell yea. I'd say almost half my costumers said they would like to come without their mask but didn't want to put others out. I told them that when I'm fully vaccinated in about a week I'm going to open and not wear a mask. An artist friend is going to do a project where we take a polaroid photo of costumers without masks holding their vaccination cards up and put the photos in the front window with some pro vaccination propaganda. It might turn out cool.
I found a happy medium this weekend... most of my masks are ones that have elastic that go around the back of my neck; they don't hook over my ears. So I always have my mask around my neck - to show I'm not a Republican ;-) - and can pull it up any time it looks like it would make others around me more comfortable. The first word of every conversation this weekend was the two of us looking at each other and saying, "Vaccinated?" And then using masks as appropriate, according to their response.
But anyway, I'd like to see more people not wear their masks and be super happy to be at my shop. I don't know how your joint feels about those kinds of things. I took covid very seriously. I closed my shop a few days before the government told me I had too and had a very safe and sanitary set up so that people who were very worried made buying a coffee from me one of the few public things they would do. I'm going to embrace the latest rule set as soon as my final two weeks is up. I'd say ask them if you can come in without a mask. I'm going to make a point of being very warm and welcoming to all my customers who don't wear one. We should be celebrating this.
