Because we shouldn't have to be housebound if the simplest of protocols are practiced. Wearing a mask is not a big deal and allows us some semblance of normalcy.
Even if that semblance of normalcy is an illusion... because that is what it is. A waitress wearing a mask will not prevent you from getting covid if you are vulnerable in a number of other ways in that restaurant. It just makes you feel better to see people with masks. The irony is that you don't think you are being selfish either.
Had I been alone I would have handled it easily. The complication was that I did not want to ruin the meal for my family.
Eating out when the proper precautions are followed is something I feel safe doing..
I see your dilemma. Plus, if you were with your family, you obviously can't control them, so it seems like they would have stayed, regardless. So even if you had left immediately, your family was going to stay and therefore possibly been exposed, and you would obviously see your family (and they could expose you).
So it was a lose-lose situation for you. There's not much you could do at that point.

How am I being selfish? Wanting people to wear masks in public is selfish? Not in the least.

Because, as you have said, you want everyone to wear a mask for your personal welfare because you are vulnerable. Regardless of their welfare.
Definition of selfish
1. Devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, etc., regardless of others.
2. Characterized by or manifesting concern or care only for oneself: selfish motives.
Your motive is a selfish one, based on your self-interest.
The waitress most likely has a very good reason for not wearing one, but you don't care about that. I doubt that the restaurant owner is foolish enough to allow a server to go without a mask for no reason.

You've got it all backwards. Wearing a mask is intended to stop the spread to others, not to protect oneself even if there may be some self protection involved. Ignoring public health laws that keep everyone safe is selfish, expecting others to obey them is not.
If you insist on driving on the left side of the road, contrary to laws for public safety and I complain about it, which one of us is selfish?
That's a good point. Even more reason to exit immediately as soon as you see someone like that! I remember when the pandemic started and I went grocery shopping and there were a couple of older workers who were maskless, trying to be friendly coming right up to me speaking and handing me carts. I felt bad but I walked right away from them and got my own cart. I kinda understood because it was at the beginning of the pandemic and masks were a little harder to come by, but still....and they were elderly too, so I hope they did not catch anything.
My local supermarket, which is open for 104 hours/week, has set aside 7-8am on T-W-Th for shopping by seniors and other people who are at high risk for getting or dying from COVID. Three lousy hours out of one hundred and four. I get so angry when I see customers coming in during those times without a mask. Seriously? You can't wear a mask or shop some other time? Or in some other store? Or obey the laws and the store regulations saying you have to wear a mask?

According to SimplySagacious you should be willing to die so that the "left sided driver" is not
forced to drive the way you want them to. I bet you expect people to stop at red lights too LOL

No, I want everyone to wear a mask so we can protect each other and flatten the curve of the virus so we can finally open back up. You are still the selfish one.
