Randall’s and HEB both caved to the “we’re all gonna die” crowd who probably flooded their phone lines after Gov Abbott announced the end of the statewide mask mandate. IIRC, both Randall’s and HEB initially said they recommend masks but it would be up to each customer.
It’s the freaky Fauci-loving Karen customers who are forcing them to do this. If the Karens spot a store where people are - gasp - not wearing masks, they go on social media or on Nextdoor and trash the store. Or they go up and pick a fight in the store.
Frankly, I think businesses have got to be tougher in standing up to this. They should also remember that many customers (such as me) refuse unless absolutely necessary to shop in a store that requires and enforces masks, so simply for economic reasons they should stand up to the Karens.

Neither store has said a word, to me, about not wearing a mask.
I think they just say this to keep the Karen’s from coming unglued and messing up everyone’s shopping experience.
