Just had a pleasure of two of the workers in a cafe not wearing masks when about 20 other folk, including staff are, and to top it off being aggressive toward the staff. Not impressed.

One of many poor construction companies whos workers NEVER wear a mask in shops. I should say one of many. Disrespectful to the staff who HAVE to wear them all day. And I'm not a staff member. We're talking at least 80% of construction workers don't wear a mask. Russian roulette for and health worker having to deal with them....
