Timing was everything. At which point did he put on his mask. The second he put it on everyone always turned towards him. Too early and the cash counter was too far. Too late and his face would be on the CCTV.
He went down on his knees to thank God for the new compulsory Covid mask rule .
Walked in with a mask he had put on when leaving home. For once absolutely sure that his face would not be captured on the CCTV. Handed the cashier his note demanding all the money in the till. He couldn’t see her reaction thru her mask. He followed her finger to the sign next to the register.
No Cash.
PayTM only.
