Source? It’s all theoretical at this point whether cloth masks may or may not prevent emission of viral particles in any significant manner. The evidence does not exist. Hence, it should be a choice to wear or not wear one for everyone, including workers.
You ever breath on a window, mirror, or pane of glass?
You certainly can... but when you walk into a store or establishment, don't expect them to carry the same willful ignorance as you and refuse you service.
Not everyone is good about covering their mouth when they sneeze of cough. I have observed it many times... I guess that's good enough to throw the entire concept of covering your mouth for a cough or sneeze out the window.
Private businesses can make their own rules and I will abide by them but it doesn’t mean their rules are evidence based.
I don’t generally cough or sneeze unless I’m sick and don’t really talk to anyone when out nor am I a mouth breather so I think it’s extremely low risk for me to go out without a mask. I also know that I do cover my mouth if I cough or sneeze.
The evidence does not support the notion that cloth masks protect anyone so to say that I’m ignorant is just plain rude and stupid.
Masks don't stop gas or even the air born droplets from fresh onions being diced.
It's the virus we're worried about, not gas or onions. I don't understand the science, but evidently the White House is now getting a clue since they're requiring masks for staff now. That should make some on this forum very happy who were adamantly opposed previously. So I guess we're all good with wearing masks now?

It’s a mistake to assume that people who question mask mandates based upon the lack of evidence are all Trump supporters.
Over the weekend I conducted "Operation Gas X" . Was standing in line (6 feet apart) from everyone and dropped a nice ten second "sssssssssssssss" silent but deadly among everyone wearing masks. Everyone smelled it. How can that be? They're all wearing masks. Next I went home, diced up fresh onions while wearing a chit breather. Yep, I could smell those onions just as well as I do without the N95 on.

There certainly is a lot of evidence. There are also countries that learned from SARs and previous epidemics with conclusions that wide spread face coverings do help. A lot of experts in the field are also saying that it is effective in reducing transmission...
Whether or not you listen is really your issue.
I guess you required a full blown study and evidence to adopt the practice of covering your mouth when you sneeze or cough. Is there really evidence that mouth breathing lowers risk?
Just now, at 2:09 PM MDT, Gov. Polis of Colorado said to wear a mask when you go out!
