I do that at Safeway, order online and curbside pickup. It is okay, the only thing I don't like about it is it ALWAYS claims to be out of ice cream, and just subtracts the costs from the total even if I want a substitute. Still, it's better than going in the store wearing some lame face mask that I shouldn't be wearing or giving my doctor's "excuse" to every clerk and customer.
And it does make sense that something is better than nothing, but that also depends - if the mask decreases your chances of catching it by two percent, that's easy to argue that it's not really worth the trouble. I think it's more effective than that, but who knows? Now, there is a psychological effect in play, you tend to be more careful if masked and it is possible to mental to go physical and vice-versa. That being said, I don't wear one because it, ummmmm, suffocates me. The science behind this is till up in the air:
Are masks effective at preventing the spread of SARS-CoV-2?
they have turned into a virtue-signaling tool for far too many.
