To downgrade the 2G (vaccinated or recovered) status for shopping purposes (clothing, electronics, etc)....the state government went to new Covid rule.
If you go into any of these places......now to include bakeries.....as a customer, you have to wear a FFP-2 mask (NOT the surgical mask).
The belief is....the FFP-2 masks allows less air to filter into your mouth/nose.
So I walked into a bakery today (my village)....big sign....they won't deal with customers wearing the surgical masks (which I was wearing). So she chased me out. I then remembered my old stand-by FFP-2 mask in my jacket pocket (probably used for at least twelve months on various occasions and definitely not at any level of protection any more).
I stepped out....slipped the ratty FFP-2 mask on, and walked back in....no problem.
Here's the funny thing.....all three bakery ladies are wearing surgical masks. Totally legal.....the regulation says 'customers only'....not the police, or inspectors, or bakery personnel.
The grocery store right across from the bakery.....still using the surgical or FFP-2 mask deal. You just can't buy bakery goods without this one particular mask.
Maybe among themselves....they know the new FFP-2 mask rule is stupid, but hey....you just play along (like a Monopoly game) and keep keep going until the next rule change.
The odds that most older guys are like me, and just bought one single FFP-2 mask back in the spring of 2021, and have never dumped it after x-number of uses? Oh, I'd take a guess that one out of four are like me.
