Had to do some shopping this afternoon at a major grocery store and was annoyed at the number of people not wearing masks right.  
You would think that after all this time people would know that your nose is supposed to be covered with the mask too.  
Also people/ person going thru check- out felt it necessary to pull mask down, and then leave it down to converse with teller.  
I guess the only solution for me is not go in the afternoon when the crazies are out and go back to early morning!

…and I have noticed a large increase in people not wearing their masks correctly lately. When asked to wear it properly, it’s almost always the excuse that it is fogging up their glasses.

I was in a box store last week and noticed that there were more people than usual with mask below the nose including some staff. The one I found really upsetting was a person with NO mask and going down the narrow aisle the wrong way. Got out of that section real fast. If they have a condition they can't wear a mask they should have someone else do their shopping. Rules and laws are there to protect everyone. I try to shop every other week but up until a week before Christmas I felt that most shoppers in Brandon were following the mask rules.

Get this-I was in Walmart and a guy had a handkerchief  
tucked under the bridge of his glasses hanging loose over his nose and mouth.

I always tell people to lift their masks and cover their noses. When someone complains about their glasses being fogged up my simple response is "And yet everyone else seems to manage all right."

I’m seeing a lot of people not wearing masks properly too. I’m thinking most people are getting slack due to covid fatigue. Although some people simple don’t care. They need a reminder.

Have worn glasses all my life and glasses have been fogging up for as many years without masks and with masks just one of the things we people have to live with. Haven’t found an invention yet that prevents fogging  
When warm air hits cold glass they fog up.  
But I will not remove my mask for any reason !!  
 
I have found if I take my glasses off in my vehicle and put them in my pocket until I get inside the store it keeps them from fogging up as much but can’t see anything past arms length without them.  
 
I also wear masks with the nose piece which helps considerably.  
However I do see so many people out there wearing masks under their noses from every walk of life best thing is just to be sure you are wearing yours properly and keep your distance, protect yourself and only be out there if it’s essential.  
 
Adam - yes the employee that gather and go mask to chin to talk then pull it up to wait on you - that’s No No to me too -

Ditto the feelings on those employees that whip their masks back on when customers show up! Really?!? I find all I can do is protect myself. I’ve added another layer to my mask and ensure it is nice and snug to face. If I’ve got it right, then it doesn’t fog my glasses. If my glasses fog, then I adjust. If I see someone not wearing mask properly, then I move far far away. :-). I’ve taken to lots of curbside shopping right now especially those stores that are just too busy with people. It takes all the energy I have not to point out that a mask sitting below one’s nose is completely useless!
