Should You Wear A Mask At Restaurants When Servers Approach Your Table?
You wear a face mask when you enter a restaurant, knowing you’ll encounter people in close proximity. You take it off to eat, and then put it back on when you exit the restaurant.
But think about who you encounter between arriving and leaving ― your server, who’s potentially endangering their own health just to bring you food. Should you also mask up when your server approaches to take your order or clear up plates?
It may not be required by restaurants, but to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, it’s the appropriate ― not to mention polite ― thing to do, experts say.
