Our shifts are all during the day and mostly outside. We have to work at least 10 hours a week for $10 per hour, but we’re not expected to work more than two hours at a time because they don’t want us to pass out in the heat.

The zone I’m working in now is a predominately residential area, so I’m mostly dealing with students sitting outside who are studying, eating, or talking with friends.
Someone else at the table asked me specifics about mask-wearing policy: “If we live with these people that we’re out with, do we have to be wearing our masks?” The policy is pretty straightforward—unless you’re in your personal living space with the people you’re living with or eating, you have to have your mask on. I explained and said, “It doesn’t really matter what the circumstances are, that’s just the policy.
