Using a mask to cheer up workers there first then take it off, that could be a good approach for fun, yet maintain business norm and sincerety. So, wearing mask itself is legal, but insisting wearing mask throughout all the process can only construe illegal elements. Have fun, but don't overdo, :) Disregard the legal context, to conduct business in a bank, our real identity must be presented.

It is a simple way I try to keep myself in practice of noticing small details about people." I'm going to try this next time I'm out :) It reminds me of House and how his ability to notice the small subtle details allows to read so much about a person.

This is particularly difficult for me to practice because I tend to see the world in absolute terms. It is difficult for me to get use to the idea that when I explain something, the person I'm talking to may not really listen to what I'm saying. I've been able to become much more effective by focusing less on what I'm saying and more on what the other person is hearing. @Graham – Just keep in mind that what you actually do or say is much less important than what they perceive.

I tend to be "overbearing" I'm told. I am just trying to let people know something they apparently don't already know. but I'll need to think about their perception of what I am doing first, huh?
