Mask question, when do you wear?

1. Right before I walk in
2. No
3. No

I put my mask on in the car and due to the regulations in my city we are required to wear masks while pumping gas if others are around and at the drive thru when you get to the window to pay/pick up your food. There’s signs indicating such.

I don't really have a "usual". LOL If I can park close, I put it on in the car, but if I am parked further out, and hook it on one ear and put it on fully when I'm closer to the door. Mostly I think because it's been so hot. Once the weather changes a bit more that might change. LOL

I don't wear it when pumping gas, there is usually no one else within the recommended 6 ft. However, I do use hand sanitizer before I get out of the car, and only touch the gas cap, pump, keypad, etc with one hand (usually my right), and don't touch anything with that hand (door handle, sanitizer bottle, etc) until I use more sanitizer.

I don't wear it to drive-thrus. I figure I'm usually pretty far away from the person in the window.

ETA- Also, I tend to take my mask off or dangling from one ear, if I am the only one in the aisle of the store and I've stopped to read labels, etc.  If I am walking around or going to be "near" anyone, I do keep it on properly. 

Before I get out of the car
Yes
Yes. They actually ask you to when they take your order at Starbucks. I don’t do drive through anywhere else.

I find that the majority of people who live in my little corner of the world do similarly.

I put my mask on before I get out of the car. I wait till I'm back at my car to take it off.

I do grocery pick up and put my mask on when my groceries are coming because inevitably, even though I have the back of my car open (SUV, so they can easily talk to me from there), they want to come right up to my window and talk to me.

I put my mask on (and wear gloves) when I pump gas. It's the only place I wear gloves though.

I put my mask on when I'm going to be at the window of a drive through. Though the only drive through I've been through in 6 months is Starbucks a hand full of times.

Overly cautious, maybe. But it's what I feel good about doing for myself.

Like someone else, I also keep hand sanitizer in my pocket and my car, plus a thing of clorox wipes on my car as well.


ETA: I don't "wash" my groceries anymore though.  I moved past that a few months ago.  It was too much work and created way too much anxiety for me.

1. Before I get out of my car (too much of a pain to fiddle with it coming up to the door)
2. Not when pumping gas.
3. Not when going through any drive-thru.

ETA: Where I live in Ohio the whole mask situation it is such a HOT mess. No one wants to wear a mask. A LOT of people refuse to wear them. I would say if I'm sitting outside of any grocery store around here (Walmart, Meijer, Kroger) and watch people coming and going, there is probably a good 30-40% of people that do not wear masks.

I walked into our UPS Store and none of the employees wear them. Gas station employees (Speedway) don't wear them and customers going in don't wear them. There are several other places I have walked into where employees are not wearing them and customers do not wear them.

I sat outside the gas station the other night (while my sweetie went in and paid...and wore a mask!) and counted 13 people going in and there was only one lady wearing a mask and she was elderly.

If you wear one, you're called a sheep.

I choose to wear one!

Put mask on in car because I’m vain and want to check the mirror to make sure the elastic hasn’t made my hair all wonky. Hand sanitize, wear out of store, unload groceries, return cart to rack, hand sanitize, remove inside car.

Haven’t pumped my own gas recently because I use a full serve in my town—wear a mask.

The only drive thru I’m using these days is the pharmacy and they have a glass partition, so no mask.

I usually put my mask on in the car, but I also often walk to the store, so then I put my mask on when I start seeing people.

I wear it when pumping gas.

I also wear it in the drive-through.

Basically, it’s on whenever I am in an indoor space that is not my house or my office with the door shut, and in an outdoor space any time I am going to be anywhere near people; I’m near people when they are handing my coffee at the drive-through or pumping gas at the adjacent pump.

It’s interesting reading the responses. Of course a lot of it can be attributed to where in the world you live but I think also can be attributed to how you live.

I live in a densely populated area. Also, I live in a condo, and masks are required when doing something as simple as taking out the recycling or picking up mail. Therefore I’m used to just wearing one whenever I’m outside of my own condo.

I put my mask on as I’m walking in the parking lot but quite a bit before the store. Dh does it right when doing into store.

I wear for drive thrus because I think it’s courteous. I have also seen a couple drive thrus saying they are required.

I barely pump gas anymore because I go so few places and Dh gets it when we are together but the other day I did and wore my mask.

1. On my way into the store.
2. No.
3. No.

I have never been asked at Starbucks drive thru to put on a mask.  I have been to Starbucks in 4 different states. 

I knew I should have prefaced it with an “at my Starbucks.” 🙄
