I was at the Costco in Sugar Land, TX this past Saturday. I almost could not park because many parking spaces were taken over by a bunch of protestors who were protesting Costco’s mask requirements. I thought their protest was pretty dumb. Governor Abbott made masks a statewide requirement. If they wanted to protest, they should have taken it to Austin. I agree with the protestors that the masks are BS and I hate wearing one. But if I want to shop at Costco (or anywhere else in Texas) I have to wear one.
Abbott’s mask mandate was only legal for the first month. It has not been legal since then. Costco has a mask requirement at least partially because of Abbott’s unconstitutional overreach.
