Not really, but....: I wish you didn't have to work. You are at high risk for COVID from your workplace. Anything you can do to decrease risk is worth it, including wearing a mask and standing behind protective plastic. You can't decrease your risk entirely unless you stay home. Is it possible for you to work in the back of the store, away from customers? Or go on disability? Best of luck to you!
