For the record I was not comfortable having her that close, chatting and no mask.
I had mine off because that has been my counties recommendation, masks until you reach the table
and then off while you eat..
Depends. Is it a tiny town way out in BFE or a hot spot? My husband has breathing issues so I might have left which is my choice.

I’d walkout-wondering if she washes her hands after using the bathroom
Also just talking & breathing spreads tiny particles of fluid...

A popular restaurant in Morehead City, NC.

I should have left but my family thinks I am over reacting about covid and I let it slide.

Leave with a brief stop on the way out to tell the manager why.

I would not ask to be moved for a different server area because for all you know, there are kitchen staff who are also declining to wear masks. Not worth the risk of eating anything in a place that would permit any food service employee to go without a mask

I'd either ask to be given another waitress OR probably better yet, leave altogether. I don't HAVE to eat at any restaurant that badly. I can find food anywhere & I personally haven't dined-in anywhere in the last 7 mos & probably won't anytime soon...only takeout.

When she sees that she's losing out on tips, she may change her tune.

I agree.

.
I am thinking of not dining out anymore..Can't tell you how many times I have had no maskers trap me in a small restroom and I have to go past them to get out...No mask employees and being seated very close.
I am done with eating out...

When she sees that she's losing out on tips, she may change her tune.
When her employer sees a further drop in revenue her tune may change, too.

Dr. Hansen is a pulmonologist who treats COVID-19. Snarky, but informative. Go to 10:15 to a discussion of masks and COPD.

I think that's a great idea. Stay home if this stuff bothers you so much.

Not eating out doesn't mean staying home.
I am outside most of the day enjoying sports with plenty of physical distancing.

Not eating out is no big deal to me & better on the budget.
