Some odd soul is probably making the prototype for mouth-less masks even as I type this...
I think in Asia, some restaurants have clear barriers placed down on restaurant tables when people are eating/chatting - like a bank teller barrier. It definitely changes the experience. It's not as intimate and friendly. Seeing all restaurant staff wear masks can be less "friendly" in a way. Although you know they're wearing them for your safety (which is great!!), you don't see their smiles and you are reminded of the risks associated with being out (i.e., at any moment, you could be infected by someone around you).
For me, I'd love the mask wearing, as it'd make me feel more safe. For others, they might dislike it.
I heard someone say Disney World would be ruined. Kids cannot hug their favorite characters. And it could look scary to the kids seeing everyone with masks.
I really wonder.....will the new normal be with everyone wearing masks and mandatory social distancing at businesses? Will that "ruin" the experience for people and make them less likely to want to pay money for these experiences?
