I'd like to know what companies are demanding masks

be worn before entering?
Menards here and Starbucks and a local produce store.
I feel more shops should of been doing this all along.
My daughter works at a prison here and is an arbitrator and has Covid her husband at the local JJC.
Why can’t these companies protect their workers by making masks and sanitizer mandatory?
My daughter got this because other employees didn’t wear masks.

run by a fascist/authoritarian party that doesn't give one shit about anything other than a) staying in power, and b) looting all the public assets.

A sign on the door of the Food Lion grocery store said "Please wear a mask while shopping in this store."

By my estimate the majority of shoppers inside were wearing masks. It felt good to be there.

I've seen customers thrown out of stores for not wearing a mask, from supermarkets to little family owned liquor stores.

This is in anti-trump California.

We have friends and family living in trump California who tell us this isn't the case where they are.

Even the big corporate stores are having trouble enforcing mandatory mask rules.

caved in to the nuts who protested outside the State House. He made the announcement that “requiring masks in public places is government overreach” not long after their little pity party. Gov. Wolf next to us has made it the law to wear a mask in a store. I still don’t see enough masks around here, particularly in hardware and home improvement stores, and I say Good for Menard’s.

It’s infuriating that these selfish, inconsiderate nincompoops can’t do a simple thing like cover their nose and mouth when in a store. It’s not that much to ask.

I’m so sorry about your daughter and family ... I hope they will be okay.

and no one should have to be affraid to return to work after they’ve already paid the price of having Covid. Just because you work with others who don’t care.

Saw myself somebody told they couldn't come in without a mask. The monitor has a basket of them and the guy had to give her 2 bucks to enter the store. He paid it.

Every place requires them, there are signs on all the doors, some say "No mask, no service" some just post the order from the board of health. Occasionally, there are idiots who wear them under their nose, I just steer clear of them.

a $1000 fine.

New Bexar County executive order mandates face coverings at all businesses when social distancing is not possible.
