Is there a polite non-obnoxious, non-shaming, (and non-violating social distance rules) to tell people in Costco that their valved N95 masks are not helping at all and they should find other masks?
They're more useful if they filter on the way out too, but filtering on the way in isn't "not helping at all", which is the language I objected to.

Not helping at all *for the reason we need people wearing masks now* which is to stop the spread. They are useful if you're dealing with saw dust in your home. So, sure, they're "helpful." But for what people out and about need today, they are not useful.

Stopping the spread to the person wearing them is still stopping the spread. It doesn't protect you from him, so admonish him for selfishness if you wish, but don't pretend his mask isn't helping with the epidemic at all.
