The mask creates a barrier that affects how they interact and communicate in stores, such as making facial expressions less visible. 3. **Adaptation by Employees:** Some discussion revolves around how store and restaurant employees have adapted to mask-wearing, often out of necessity due to prolonged hours of use. There's speculation on whether these employees are genuinely comfortable or just portraying positivity. 4. **Preference for Mask Types:** There's a preference noted for disposable masks over reusable ones, with a mention of their effectiveness based on the ability to prevent blowing out a candle through the mask. 5. **Alternatives and Adjustments:** Some users discuss alternatives like face visors or avoiding mask use by claiming medical exemptions.
