> Personally, I'd be quite happy if service workers (e.g. cashiers, wait staff, receptionists, etc) wore masks permanently, regardless of what happens with Covid.

Wow, that is one of the most entitled things I have ever read. I think I can safely assume you wouldn't be in the pool of people that would have to wear a mask every day for work. Some people are working multiple simultaneous service industry jobs. This would mean they would spend most of their waking hours behind a mask for decades. All to avoid some rich asshole catching a cold.
