It might not be SO weird where I live, but between podcasts and forums I wonder how some of the coastal states are going to react to a gradual reopening. Working in service, I honestly sort of worry that we'll make the decision that all of our staff has been vaccinated (we have) and the city/fed no longer has a mask mandate (our city lifts in two weeks) and even at the height of the pandemic we only had one staff member contract the disease in their free time at a friend's birthday party, so...

LOGICALLY, we probably become one of the first spots to stop requiring employees to wear masks, right? But is that the right move from a PR perspective? Would people walk in wearing a mask, see us not wearing masks, and leave? And how long are we gonna have to think about that? What if somebody really gets on their soapbox and tries to Gavin Newsome the whole staff?

I feel like a lot of people got psychologically damaged by the past 18 months and the CDC saying "get back out there!" isn't gonna be enough for them.
