You may wear whatever kind of mask you like. Gloves seem to work with devices, but I really prefer to wash my hands a lot. I think it would depend on the work gloves, and your position. Bring them with you and ask. Check your temp at home. We got thermometers for TMs who don't have one, so your store may still have them.
Good advice Yetive. I just got back from LOA, wore one of my cloth masks and it was too heavy and hot but I got through my four hour shift ok. I can sneak into the fitting room closet for a breather and some water when needed. The store-provided masks seem lighter so I will try one of those on my next shift. I asked for short shifts for the first couple of weeks at least, to start.

Thanks! Yeah I got around 25hrs to start with . 4 days in the week. I have no idea how it would be to work with the mask on. I work in market and it’s always busy there. I hope I can survive ! Are the store provided masks disposable? My mask is a 2 layered tshirt kind of material which seems comfortable but don’t know how it would be for a prolonged time .
Spot masks are disposable. Try them first.
No one at my store asks about temp checks, but we're encouraged to take our temps at home regularly.
No mention of temp checks at my store, and almost no one is wearing gloves. I gave up few minutes after the start of my first shift back - it was so hot I could barely get the pair on and my hands were dripping sweat almost immediately. The weather has cooled off but I still haven't tried again - the masks make me feel warm enough as it is, so keeping my hands cooler is a must. I use hand sanitizer, avoid touching my face, and wash my hands when I can. Most TMs are wearing masks but I see some pulling theirs down frequently. I am practicing as much social distancing as I possibly can.
In my opinion, the temp checks are ineffective. My normal body temp is well below "normal". 99 is almost 2 degree above my norm and considered a fever, but will let me into any place that is temp taking. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one.
You aren't, my husband and I are the same way. I definitely feel feverish at 99. Plus, with Covid many people don't get a fever.
I also run low normally, but like many other things to do with practically anything physiological, there's a range. The classic 98.6 is what's normal for most within a few tenths of a degree. Taking our own temps at home fairly often helps us each learn what the normal range is for that individual. Even then, it's a good idea to take your temp at about the same time each day or so because it'll vary as the day goes on.
This is why temp taking at work is pointless. Everyone is different. My sister works in healthcare. They take everyone's temp upon entering the building and if it's 100.4, they must leave. Lots of people have fevers that aren't 100.
Or sanitize or wash. IMO unless you have a special medical case all gloves do is lull you into a false sense of security and ends up making things worse bc you forget to wash/sanitize
In what case are you referring too? this is a super super broad claim, the answer is yes or no depending on who you are protecting and from what.
