Disclaimer sign on a rack of face masks at the Zumiez store in Columbia, Maryland. The sign reads:

"Warning: This is not medical-grade personal protective equipment and is not intended for use as source control (such as during our COVID-19 pandemic). This item is for fashion purposes only. Face coverings do not replace precautions like social distancing and thoroughly washing your hands."

I found it quite refreshing that the store openly admitted that cloth "face coverings", ostensibly used to limit the spread of COVID-19, don't actually do anything, and should solely be considered as fashion accessories.
