Masks are stupid, but not a hill to die on. Your business, your rules. You want me to wear one, i’ll wear one.
The government shutting down businesses is a whole nother matter.
The point is that whether they “want” you to wear a mask or not isn’t relevant. They are TOLD, at the point of a gun, that they must make customers wear a mask. I’ve spoken to many merchants who wish this weren’t the case, that the masks are stupid. But the choice has been completely removed from their hands if they want to remain open.
