Wearing a mask offers some reduction in the risk of transmission and infection. it's not a hardship, it's not a reduction of civil liberties. it's a considerate gesture to those who still need as much protection as possible.

Well it's not a great hardship but it isn't very nice and you can't easily taste samples with a mask on, and some masks may even block scent. Buying food should use more than just eyes, touch, smell even sound sometimes and where available taste.
