It’s very simple, don’t wear one, who cares? Actually I’m pretty sure it’s just shopping centres, supermarkets and large retail outlets. Any small business is mask free, good excuse to support small businesses over larger retailers.stui magpie wrote:The new mask rules are a bit confusing. Clearly I have to wear it in Bunnings or a supermarket or shopping centre, I'm not sure about small shops.
Went into a Salvos Op shop this morning, there was a handful of people in there, one of the staff called out to us all that we didn't have to wear a mask in the shop, just socially distant.
I said, "Thanks, It's just easier to remember to put it one when I go into a shop" and left it on.
No one was wearing them at the Tyre shop yesterday, Thomastown market on Sunday was a real mixed bag about 70% wearing them but no clear demographic in the 30% not, but at the Kingsbury market they still had signs up saying everyone wear a mask and everyone was.
Now that international arrivals are happening and we're doing Hotel Quarantine again, I really hope I'm wrong but I think another outbreak here is inevitable.
Was at a a meeting tonight, under the government’s rules were pretty sure masks weren’t required, yet hadn’t had any update from the organisation. One person entered with one but no one else did and eventually they realised no one else is bothering so took it off. Was good to feel normal, was our first meeting since February.
