In my state is a bit different, the same idea and principle works though. Tip them. I primed a bunch of workers at different places I frequent, by originally stating I don't wear a mask, I will this once because "i like you guys". Then just "forgot my mask in the car". To simply not talking about it. I have serious "Mask Nazi's" where I live. I have started asking checkers to take their masks off so I can understand them. I haven't used this next line yet, just thought about it... "I am a bit deaf, and I need to be able to read your lips."
