Just don’t go in if they’re not taking it seriously. The LBS I occasionally work in is very strict about masks, distancing etc. Mask and gloves at all times, separate customer area at the front with 2 customers max. No mask, no entry. Card machine sanitized after every transaction, contactless preferred. Customers cannot try anything on; if they want to see a product it is brought to them then wiped down if they don’t buy it. Repairs are left at the front then contact points wiped down before work begins then when handed back. Sure, 8 1/2 hours in a mask isn’t super comfortable all the time but a small gesture. If you don’t feel comfortable, don’t shop there; awkward if that’s your LBS I appreciate.

Haven't been going out much but have seen 0 shops (of any kind) that do this, so it's nice to hear the LBS you work at takes it seriously. Is it London-based?

Edinburgh, at a co-operative. I did my first shift in four months the other week; only when I was convinced that a) the virus was largely under control up here and b) proper procedures were in place to mitigate risk did I go back.
