Most people on this thread seem to be viewing this from the perspective of the CUSTOMER.
I'm looking at it from the standpoint of the BUSINESS OWNER. And I'm only looking at it from the business owner's perspective because in a free nation the customer ought to have no right to tell a business owner how to run the business.
These mask mandates are ridiculous. I don't obey them because a government official tells me to. I only obey them if I enter a private establishment where the business owner says I must. This is why I go out of my way to patronize businesses that openly defy these stupid edits.

I think it important to note, that CVS probably did not want to set up a mask mandate for their stores. They were coerced to put one in by the govt, as were all the other places that instituted one.
