There’s a fine line between preserving your own safety and well-being and not flaring up unnecessary tensions with a stranger.
Even if you spend a majority of your time at home, some social interactions are inevitable. You may pass by a group of friends with their faces uncovered on the street. An unmasked food delivery worker may hand off your order. A leaky faucet or clogged pipe may require a plumber to enter your home.
"First and foremost, give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they are not intentionally aiming to harm or disrespect you," Oricoli, who runs the etiquette training program More than Manners, told USA TODAY. Here's how to navigate possibly tense masking situations.In general, most major delivery services you'll interact with are mandated to wear a mask.
Food delivery services Uber, DoorDash and Grubhub all have different guidelines, but generally adhere to policies state-by-state. They also offer options for no-contact delivery. "For employees whose job entails interacting with relative strangers and therefore potentially exposing themselves to some degree of COVID-19 risk, that wearing a mask while you are within 6 feet of them is the respectful thing to do," he said.What about a repair person not wearing a mask?
Oricoli suggests asking anyone who enters your home to abide by your house's policies on mask wearing, and thanking them for following the rules immediately afterward.
