If a store has a sign demanding masks, I choose whether to wear a mask or shop elsewhere. They can’t enforce the “law” but they can make rules.
That “shop elsewhere” works until your governor mandates masks to shop and sends out an army of Karen’s to punish businesses that don’t comply. There are a few stores I switched to because they were lenient on masks, but even they have tightened down for fear of reprisal. There is literally no store I know of near me that doesn’t require masks. But I am seeing a lot of people pulling them down once they get into the store.
That is where I find myself. If there is a store or a business that clearly states that masks are required, I respect that and wear a mask. If a sign says wear a mask or keep 6 feet away, I keep 6 feet or more away and don’t wear a mask. If the store gets crowded, I may or may not wear a mask, depending on what others I doing. I have seen up to 50% of people in a store not wearing masks. A week later, nearly everyone does. In county that has never exceeded 50 active cases and has a 0.16% positive test rate, I am not too concerned. That would change if I was in a highly infected area, but then again, I would never live in a city.
I will wear a mask in stores that request so, most are hanging by a thread already so why create further issues for them when they’re just trying to comply so they won’t be shut down..... most don’t have the resources to fight let alone fight off law suites.
Costco in Midlothian VA has two very rude self appointed female mask police. I have had it. Won’t return until these fascists are muzzled. This disdainful Costco experience is not for me, and my money.
Buh, bye!

Last week, my wife, her hairdresser, our siblings and their spouses, other relatives and friends older and younger could see this mask issue costing someone’s life.
Basically, all of us decided to buy a supply of cheap masks and carry them in our vehicles, the women will carry 2 in their purses, one for them and one for the typical forgetful males in the family.
We ordered 50 from Amazon with some leftover giftcard money and got 50 for about 5$ total. My wife had a hair appt. Friday morning and she put her mask on as she got out of the car @ the salon and took it off when she got back into the car to drive home. It stayed on the dash in the sun until we used it this morning at our local fruit stand. Both masks went on the dash as we got in the vehicle and shut the doors.
We don’t wear a mask while driving or riding in vehicles. We don’t wear them walking on our culdesac, we don’t wear them while working in our garden, nor in our home.
We are not going to kill anyone nor be killed by someone for not wearing a mask in a store or business.
Nor will we be fined $500 for not wearing one.
These Democrat governors even made their diktats moot when they marched with protestors and even worse, have since said this doesn't apply to "protestors". (Even Fauxi the Clown said that as well). Any attempt to fine an individual or shut down a business is grounds for a lawsuit for deprivation under the law. Just ask Governor Andrew Nursing Home Killer (NHK) Cuomo. He already lost one.
