Then back into the shop with my mask on and past the security chap who never gave me a second glance.
Inside the store I noticed that some of the staff had visors on plus masks. There was a couple of people with no masks or visors on, I presume they had proof of medical exemption to be able to wander round.

Neither the disposable mask (which the majority of people wear) or the visor will totally stop virus transmission. Both devices are used to stop droplets being transmitted (sneezes, coughing and even breathing vapour).
Sounds like this security guard has been briefed inappropriately or just cannot comprehend the nuances. My local Tesco also has staff wearing either item in store.
