I work out in the parking lot, so I don't have to wear a mask all day like the inside people do. But when I'm bringing in a row of 8 carts on the tether, I'm supposed to put my mask on. It takes me 23 seconds to take off one glove so that I can feel the mask and then put the one glove back on. That 23 seconds for each row of carts that I bring in adds up at the end of the day. Sometimes I will skip the mask in order to save time, but I always feel guilty for doing so because I know it's not fair to the customers who have to wear theirs. The cart room is only about 5 ft. into the store and I'm usually by myself while I'm in there. Exposure to customers is minimal. Being a Lot Associate at THD is hard work and requires a lot of air to breath. I especially need the air when I'm lifting 94 lb. bags of concrete or pushing 4 lumber carts at the same time up a slight grade towards the store.
