Dallas County law firm question.....how are your firms addressing the new order requiring businesses to ensure that employees and visitors (clients) are masked if they must be within 6 feet of each other? I’m seeing some pushback from all levels...partners, employees, clients. Curious about others’ experiences.

The lobby and conference rooms with clients is mandatory mask. But our whole office is otherwise optional. No one seems to really care.

Also, how much do you give away? If they're minis, then several, and 1 each if full sized?
Do you give them just to the kids or to anyone who's dressed up, including the accompanying adult?
Why is distributing candy so stressful 🥲
