Lu Wen-wan sparks hygiene debate after unmasked clerk sneezes

Media personality Lu Wen-wan recently shared an experience on social media regarding food hygiene at a convenience store. While purchasing an iced latte, she witnessed a staff member sneeze twice without wearing a mask. Although the employee did not sneeze directly into the drink, Lu expressed discomfort regarding the potential for airborne droplets and the lack of basic protective measures in a food service environment.

Lu noted that she chose not to complain at the time to avoid being labeled a ‘difficult customer,’ but ultimately decided to discard the entire drink. Her post has sparked a debate online regarding whether service workers should be required to wear masks and how consumers should handle similar hygiene concerns.
