Starting job as a waiter tonight- do I wear a mask?

[Leicesterdave]

It seems no one else in the restaurant world wears one- but I feel like I should considering the risks- would you?

[The spinner of plates]

Restaurants I've been to all of the waiting staff have been wearing full head visor things.

[mcflurry]

I'd take one with me - it's better to have one available and not use it, rather than hunting around for one if you do..

[Muzzer79]

Do you want to?

It seems like an entirely personal choice.

If you want to wear one, then wear one.

[Your Dad]

Given the choice between asking some strangers on the Internet or speaking to your new employer........

[Jasandjules]

What risks?

[MYOB]

You couldn't have picked a worst time to start this job with further restrictions likely!

[Alucidnation]

Nah, wing it.

[Leftfootwonder]

Better to be safe than sorry.....wear a hazmat suit.

[Chainsaw Rebuild]

I would certainly take on with you and tbh you might as well wear it just in case.

[Digger]

Pure troll post. It’s very obvious this will have come up in discussion already given OP will have been to the restaurant already & no doubt spoken with several people there.


Pffft.

I know!! Such a pain!

[Spare tyre]

I’d say yes as it might make some diners feel more at ease and you are there working for them

[roadsmash]

Turn up wearing nothing but your mask...

... cover your penis with it.

No, it puts me off as a customer seeing staff serving you wearing a mask.

That is mental.

‘It puts me off as a customer when I see the taxi driver wearing a seat belt’.

Not wearing a seat belt is illegal. Not waring a mask (for staff) is legal.

As a taxi passenger, I don't care if my driver wears a seat belt - I don't sit in front of him to be squished if he hits something.

I'd rather have a waiter (or anyone coming that close to me) wear a mask.

Will a face covering suffice?

I think you need a gimp suit and fireman's air bottle.

Can't be too careful.
