I thought the same thing. Lately I've noticed that more places are posting a sign saying "mask must cover nose and mouth." I just checked our county health department list of requirements and they referred me to the California State requirements where I found this:

What is a cloth face covering?
A cloth face covering is a material that covers the nose and mouth. It can be secured to the head with ties or straps or simply wrapped around the lower face. It can be made of a variety of materials, such as cotton, silk, or linen. A cloth face covering may be factory-made or sewn by hand or can be improvised from household items such as scarfs, T-shirts, sweatshirts, or towels.

How should I choose and wear a cloth face covering?
You should select a face covering that covers your nose and mouth, goes under the chin, and does not have significant gaps around the nose or other parts of the face. Look for face coverings that have three layers, if possible, and are still easy to breathe through. Be sure that the ear loops or ties are tight enough to keep the face covering from sliding down the nose. Always wear your face covering over your nose and mouth, not under your nose or under your chin.

So I guess these stores can hide behind the fact that they are complying with the state requirements.

No matter. I wear it absolutely as little as possible, never outdoors, and it only goes on when I walk through the store doors and it comes off the minute I leave the cash register.

“So I guess these stores can hide behind the fact that they are complying with the state requirements.”

You could say that. I have always made the claim on FR that regardless when the mask mandate is dropped, these idiot stores will still make you wear a mask in Mexifornia.
