So, I go to the grocery store, and I see this young kid collecting the shopping carts in the parking lot with a mask on. Ordinarily I just remain silent, but I just lost it.

If you're visiting Tucson we can have lunch.
I have had some luck explaining about "mask mouth" and bacterial backfire. Don't give up.
