Out of 80 or so shoppers, I only saw 3 other people without masks on... Passed a family whose small children looked at me like I was a leper as I passed by.... Sad sad sheep.

Yup, and it's introduced a new level of incivility. Noone says hello to anyone. It' s like it's given license to all the socially awkward, awful people in the world.
I've found the same. This used to be a nice friendly area where everybody smiled at eachother and said hello. Now I can't even make small talk with the cashier to make them feel like I see them as a person and not an appliance.
Keep trying. I find most people respond to a smile and a thank you. I usually add have a great day.
And even though 98% people have masks on... ~30-40% or so don’t want them so you’ll find common ground if just willing to talk.
Here's a bit of hopium for ya. I went into a quickie store this morning, the cashier was not wearing a mask, I wasn't wearing a mask but there were a couple of people behind me that were. Had some good (loud) small talk about how stupid masks are with the cashier. Made my morning.
I go out of my way to thank people for not wearing a mask whether they are inside or outside.
And I go out of my way to not even lift an eyelash to someone who’s wearing a mask.
Sorry I don’t speak bahhhhh
