Mandatory Mask Mandate??

@Sassygirl @Lunamaria said about the same, where she is. Here, too. BUT regardless of whether or there's a MANDATORY mask mandate there are those who still choose not to, with seemingly no real consequence.

Right but I have seen stores escort people not wearing masks, without a "doctor's note" , out of stores for the safety of others .... and yes it is very easy to get a note from a doctor if you have a medical condition that harms you for not wearing a mask.

[Lazz]

@RexGreeley Exactly!

@Sassygirl Many places here aren't allowed to do that. A manager can point out it's required to wear a mask, and if a customer refuses, well... that's the end of it, right there. Seems pointless, and somewhat dangerous.

why not allowed?

Businesses have the right to refuse service for pretty much any reason.... ya know other than race, sex etc

@Sassygirl I don't really know. It makes no sense to me. Most retailers COULD have certain customers removed, some time ago, but not anymore. :thinking:

@Lazz
I am pretty sure they can remove anyone at any time... they just do not choose to for the $$$$$

[Lazz]

@Sassygirl So far as I know, in some cases it's a Corporate decision. Some places can and DO enforce. Others have to more or less let it go. Individual store policy I suppose.

@NiaRox Masks I'm ok with. Social distancing is a whole other thing, though :unamused:

@fascfavy Niiiiice

@Lunamaria That sounds reasonable. Our local Governor has been talking about a state-wide mandate here, and I can predict at least some "push-back" to that, if it even comes to passing. Mandatory masks in all public places

[Lazz]

@Lunamaria I don't think even a state-wide mandate could actually happen. Just saying it has been talked about by our local Gov. here, in the "news" :thinking:
