They can ask you to leave.

If you don’t leave, they can have you arrested for trespassing.

If they have you arrested for trespassing, the store will more than likely lose your business. Most stores like happy return customers.

As it should be. I get the idea of “public accommodation”. But as conservatives, we should have a great respect for property rights. So in the example below, either have the proper attire or go shop somewhere else.

Not if 5-6 people all go in at once without masks.

Then leave if asked and leave all the items at the checkout lanes.

Repeat as necessary.

I just have a bandanna I pull up if they get obnoxious. No arguments, just a smile, and then I drop it as soon as I’m past whoever asked me to wear it.

Believe me, most of the store personnel hates this too. And they are being forced to wear snout covers as a condition of employment, so I feel bad for them.

Here in Florida, there are no longer even local mask mandates in effect, but the chain stores have developed their own and that makes things harder also for small local stores.

Fauci is an idiot and an ideologue, but if even Fauci is backing off on the useless, pointless mask fanaticism, that means it’s served its purpose (the destruction of American public life). But hopefully the chain stores will follow along. And Joe and Kamala might even dare to remove their own masks.

I’d walk in there without a mask and tell them why they just lost my business

Exactly. They can’t force you to wear a mask but they can refuse you service. Rightly or wrongly...
