One of my favorite little things to keep an eye on as a restaurant/bar worker, especially as the weather's been getting nicer, vaccines are rolling out and people are just getting tired of distancing but clearly did NOT build a muscle memory of being in public, is people's mask etiquette.

Walking up to a server or bartender with a mask on then removing it to ask a relevant question is a particularly wild move, only beat by walking up to a bartender/server with a mask in their hand and asking "do you want me to wear this?"

But the move I really get a kick out of that is FAR more frequent than you'd ever think it would be is people getting up from their table, being all in a good mood and walking through the restaurant/bar without their mask, or fishing for it in their purse/coat, putting it on as they walk out the door and then walking down the street with it on.

I'm vaccinated and lost my patience for people in general about 3 months ago when it was still cold and people started treating them like mouth gloves or something and taking them off the moment they stepped into a building and you realized they'd started thinking of the masks like a baklava or something instead of a health tool but something about the walking through a crowded, indoor space and putting your mask on AS YOU LEAVE still really tweaks something in me.

TL;DR people that are all nonchalant and kissing babies indoors then putting their mask on as they walk outside are my new favorite level of stupid.
