Still Not Masking Their Attitude

(It’s been a fairly normal weekend afternoon when a man walks in with a paper package and wet rag under his arm, and a utility mask around his neck. Shortly afterwards, he puts the utility mask onto his face and continues walking around. A few minutes later, he approaches my coworker at the register and places the wet rag and paper package, which is also wet on the bottom, onto the counter.)

Customer: *mumbles something*

Coworker: “I’m sorry, can you repeat that?”

Customer: *mumbles again*

Coworker: “I’m sorry, sir, I can’t understand you with the mask on; could you take it off for a moment?”

Customer: *sighs heavily and picks up the package and rag, then walks away*

Coworker: *looking to me* “What in the world just happened?”
