I think it would all depend on the signage. If there’s a sign on the store’s front door that says “you must wear a mask to enter”, then put on a mask or go shop somewhere else. Maybe order what you need online.
I’m a big believer in property rights. So it really doesn’t matter what that sign might say, as long as it doesn’t violate federal law. So if a store wants to put up a sign that says “you must wear a cowboy hat to enter”, then put on a cowboy hat or go shop somewhere else. I think that’s fully consistent with conservative thought.
But if there was no sign, I’m on the lady’s side.
Everyone in Washington state knows that statewide we have been ordered to wear masks in every public place. It has been months and months since our would-be king governor ordered this mandate.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is promising that, if elected, he would urge state and local governments to issue mask mandates nationwide.
The Democrat nominee, who has shifted on his support for a federal mask mandate, told supporters in Delaware on Friday that it was vital for the government to implement a “national strategy to position our country to finally get ahead of this virus.”
As part of the strategy, the former vice president promised not only to get a spending bill, that deals with both the economic and public safety aspects of the novel coronavirus, through Congress by January, but also to push for comprehensive mask mandates.
“I’ll go to every governor and urge them to mandate mask-wearing in their states,” he said. “If they refuse I’ll go to the mayors and county executives and get local masking requirements in place nationwide.”
Biden added that his administration would “mandate mask-wearing in all federal buildings and all interstate transportation” since “masks” have been proven to “save lives.”

“Gatherings are defined as social situations that bring together people from different households at the same time in a single space or place. When people from different households mix, this increases the risk of transmission of COVID-19,” the CDPH said in a statement.
All gatherings must include no more than three households, including hosts and guests, and must be held outdoors, lasting for two hours of less.
Masks must stay on after eating and drinking
Singing and shouting “strongly discouraged” “do so quietly (at or below the volume of a normal speaking voice),” and wear a face covering while engaged in the activity
“Seating must provide at least 6 feet of distance
What is the name of the businesses demanding the charges? They should be boycotted.
Sorry, but you are wrong. No matter what the store sign says, not wearing a mask to go into the store cannot be construed as trespassing. If, as the woman alleges, she has a medical condition that precludes her from wearing a mask, then the Americans with Disabilities Act takes precedence over the store owners’ desire to discriminate against people not wearing masks. The FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHT not to be discriminated against due to a disability is inviolate.
I know. I have just such a disability to wear a mask. My blood oxygen saturation level is already low, running between 88% to 91%, not in the level where I need to be on daytime oxygen supplement, but do have to have it at night as it can drop to as low as 81%. Wearing a mask makes it drop into the dangerous to my life level. I cannot wear a mask. I do not have to reveal what my disability is due to HIPPA regulations, I just have to assert my disability.
The police officer should have known of this exemption to any such requirement and so should the operators of that store. To not allow it would be the same as preventing persons in wheel chairs, on crutches, or the mentally impaired from entering the store. Many people look healthy, but are not.
I try to avoid entering places were masks are required, but occasionally I have to. Most have been understanding about my problem.
