Wearing a Mask at a Spa

[softball3]

I did not expect to enjoy wearing a mask...I don't. But, I did not find that wearing it caused any discomfort. Surprisingly the place I visited this weekend both required a mask, and took my forehead temperature with a scanner (I think it was working, but who really knows?)

I dunno. I think I’ll wait till we get a handle on this virus. I’ve seen what it can do. And all you heavy breathing animals in that tiny room. She’s gonna be high risk fo sho. Maybe by Jan or feb. but rn I would stress the hell out for two weeks after. Not worth it. I stress out now in my job with these covidiots who won’t wear a mask or do so stupidly. Not a germaphobe but not tempting fate that much either.

Legally, they can't require you to wear a mask if you claim to have a medical condition. And legally they can't ask you about your medical condition either.

And these are all legal establishments. So you are there only for the massage, nothing more?

No, I understand that most don't follow local laws. Many may act like they require masks to satisfy the LE, etc. but in actuality do not care if you take it off. That was my point in my original post. I read a lot of reviews with mongers complaining about having to wear a mask throughout the entire massage. I wanted to note that from what I experienced, it was not necessary and thought the info would help.

I’ve been to several that do require the whole time, and if you remove, they get upset and tell you it needs to be on. During the TS, they give you another, do yours does not get wet. I won’t normally go back to those AMPs until I see here that the restriction is lifted or will try them again in a month or so.

I went to one, and they would not allow DATY, but I kept asking, so she did a grind on my mask. It was fun walking through Home Depot with that!

People have different risk tolerances. If someone claims to have a medical condition that he doesn't really have in order to not wear a mask during the massage, then he's exposing the provider to risks she's trying to avoid. I think the decision should be hers, not his.

Exactly right.
