Claire's

I visited Claire's St Ann, today 19th December. I was very surprised that the two ladies on the shift didnt wear a face covering. When I reached to the till, I kindly asked the lady if she can wear her face mask properly, not hanged to the ear, on one side. She suddenly said that is her choice if she wear it or not and I cannot do nothing about this. I said is ok if she is exempt but even in this case she should have a badge saing so. In the very next seccond, her coleague came from the back of the store taking her side, saying that I have no right to ask them to wear the face covering(. It is anacceptable that in this times we are passing, some of the staff are refusing to protect themself and their customers. I am a key worker and since Covid19 situation start I was working and wearing a face covering at all times. I know perfectly the rules and this kind of employess shoudmt be at working place if they dont want to fallow the goverment rules. Also, at the entrance of the store there is a poster ''Face masks are required'', so my questions are: It is for the customers only? Do the staff know about it and about it's meaning? Do the employess needs more training regarding Covid restrictions? Do the store manager knows about the employee's behaviour?
