I can't say that I have...to be honest, I've been really impressed, mask compliance has seemed really high. I can count on one hand how many unmasked people I've encountered inside since the beginning of the pandemic. One buddy on the GO Bus who apparently couldn't keep his mask on for the whole trip. Various bus drivers (annoyingly enough), one elderly lady in the grocery store with a face shield and an oxygen tank, and vastly less sympathetically a woman wearing an "I'm exempt" anti-masker button who checked out in front of me and was chatting up the anti-vaxxer protestors outside when I got out.
Overall, I'm impressed, but I am also still shopping during very quiet periods.
