Just to say it’s not vanity that makes people wear their visors high. They are extremely uncomfortable and so are often adjusted to relieve the pressure on the forehead especially above the eyes. Everyone at my place of work is suffering from headaches.
Customer came into store to day " why do we have to wait in a Queue outside , you don't have the virus down here" The use of " you " indicates a tourist.
Maybe we don't have the virus here because of social distancing. Maybe we want to keep it that way and , most importantly , we don't know where HE came from and what he's bringing with him
@debs64 - she's the only one. All the others have face masks. Anyone else I see wearing them in other shops or the PO has them at the proper angle in the middle of the forehead.

Yes, we do @Lyn and we can learn not to keep touching the masks and only use the ties or elastics to put them on and take them off. They're more about preventing spread to others if we are carrying the virus than preventing us catching it but even a small barrier is better than nothing against aerosol transmission of infinitesimally small droplets.
I know what they’re for. I’m just thinking of trolley handles, surely people don’t lick them, if you don’t put your hands in your mouth you’re not going to get it from a shopping trolley.
@wild edges absolutely, we must all learn to keep our fingers to ourselves 😀

Some weeks ago a doctor on BBC Breakfast said the risk of catching Covid19 from somebody passing in the opposite direction was tiny. They also said, there is a far greater risk of being hit by a passing car if you walk out into the road to pass another person.
Doctors are not always right. How can they be? There's too much to know about too many diseases, mechanical failures etc. The advice about Covid and other diseases changes frequently as more observations are made about its spread, its effects, its morbidity, its transmission.
Why take risks with your own health let alone anyone else's? It's not hard to wash your hands properly, keep them off your face etc, wear a mask in closed public space and keeping a distance from others indoors and outdoors is common courtesy as well as common sense.

As well as a lack of common sense, there just seems to be a general lack of courtesy. It sends a certain message - the same kind as the one folk who park on double yellow lines send, with the casual 'I'll just be a minute' line thrown in the direction of others. Ditto for those who park on zigzags at schools, disabled spaces etc.
A nice little view from along the road yesterday :
Pull back though :
I'd call the people who do that a**eholes, but those have a purpose...
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
