I am getting annoyed at the DG (Dollar General) store nearest to me, they have a sign up for customers to wear masks but I was in there today, not only did some of the customers not have masks neither did the staff!!! I have been in other DG's they are adherring to guidelines. Are stores near you adherring to guidelines, or do they think they are above it all?

When the staff does not wear a mask, that store can be closed by the authorities.

They are not going to do that..but hopefully someone will breathe down their neck if enough people complain.

@Alexandoy No Thanks, I don't want to be the neighborhood crank. I will let the higher ups deal with it. Besides you can get in trouble for taking people's pics and sharing them online without their permission, kind of sounds like a recipe for disaster.

@snowy22315 why not take pictures of videos of those unmasked people and post it in social media with the description so people will know them.

Some people are choosing to ignore these safety precautions and it's not right!

Well it is super hypercritical for them to have a sign posted on the door and not only not enforce it for customers, but the staff isn't even wearing them. There is a hotline to report this in this state..and I am going to mention it. It is my opinion that DG corporation could care less..but I might go that route as well. I don't like being a "narc" but I also don't like uncaring people that put other's at risk.

@snowy22315 This needs to be reported, regardless. It's for the safety of the entire public.

This just doesn't make sense. If there's a sign, I would think that at very least the staff would follow it and have the customer do the same. This makes no sense.

You'd wonder why they have the notice up at all if even the staff aren't wearing masks.

They did it because they were required to post it, but in terms of wearing the masks..they most certainly are not.

@snowy22315 It is very sad that I also go to the grocery and the staff and people in there do not have masks on. People are going to do what they want. That is why I am not looking forward to go grocery shopping next week.

In the grocery store here, there is near 100 percent compliance. I think the sign days you can,t enter without a mask.

@snowy22315 Not where I was going and not for sure where I will go next week. The guard does not check or wear a mask and there are workers that stand in the entrance and do not let people pass and they stand in a group and do not wear masks.

That is true, but if you are going to post something on your door..you need to follow what you sign has posted..I mean What the Heck? It is the Govenor's mandate to wear masks in stores and buildings.

I would say 75% of people shopping in stores are wearing masks, but 100% of the employees are wearing masks.

Here, the stores are mostly adhering to guidelines, but I can tell it's starting to get relaxed. Not so much about the masks, but the stores seem less diligent about keeping things clean. Shoppers have to wear masks, but a lot of them wear them incorrectly - but that seems to have always been the case. What I don't like is people getting less diligent about social distancing - even employees don't always remember to stay away.

In our area there is no guide line that says you have to wear masks, each individual business makes their own rules for that kind of thing. The stores I go to did not require a mask.

Absolutely not. I went to a TOGO's yesterday, there were about ten people crowded around the door, not one wearing a mask. They were in groups of two and three and the groups stood about three or four feet apart. I could not see far enough inside to see if the employees were adhering. We did not go in but turned the car around and drove to a drive-thru a few blocks away. I do not need a chicken salad sandwich that bad.

It's such a shame when that happens. Over here, it's a criminal offence to walk around with no mask - the penalty is up to $500 and/or 6 months in jail. Stores can refuse you entry if you won't use sanitiser and have no mask on.

It's mandatory for stores to display sign boards related to Covid19 spread .But more than that they do nothing to enforce implementation.
