If citizen store owners want to enforce a mask, then they should because there is evidence to support them.

palmer, you really don't understand what is going on do you? These “citizen store owners” (as opposed to government store owners?) are being compelled, forced, shall, must do the bidding of the government or they will be heavily fined, their business licenses revoked and ultimately locked or shut down!

Watch this video out of FL. Perhaps it might sink in what these store owners everywhere are faced with.

Store owners in Virginia can't be forced to require masks. Some do it because the corporate owners want them to. Some one-off stores do it because they want to themselves (e.g. the organic growers store run by two older people). Others don't bother requiring employees to wear masks despite having put a notice on the door. Others ignore the whole thing.

If you think masks requirements are tyranny then you should start the no-mask party and see where it goes politically. I doubt it will get a majority. If you think mask requirements are going to push people into revolt then that's fine with me. Let's do it. You should support the most onerous mask requirements imaginable. But I don't think that's going to gain a lot of traction either.
