Then they probably go to another store. Pick up their dirty mask with their dirty hands and put it on their faces and go into the store and repeat the process

It’s complicated.

Why does that matter? These masks do not protect you from getting the virus. They do prevent those who have the virus from spreading it.
Maybe you have seen me. I am older, with other health issues, and have an N95 mask I keep in a brown paper bag. Maybe 2 or 3 times a week I go out to a store. I drive my own car, which no one else has been in for months, without the mask. I park, put on the mask and get whatever I need. Then I stop in the washroom and wash my hands thoroughly. I get back in my car without touching anything in the store, and take the mask off.
Now just where in that process did my "dirty hands" have a chance to pick something up?
I am conserving N95 masks for other people. I have worn one for several weeks, but probably a total of less than 8 hours.

What are we supposed to do? Have our Mommy’s put it on for us? The mask is there to keep your germs in, not other people germs out.
Mandatory security theater.
