I can take precautions against anyone who does not wear a mask and that is my choice. Let's allow personal freedom to choose shall we ....if the store wishes to enforce that policy then we can choose not to shop there too.

Methinks you are comparing apples and kumqauts with that comparison. Them choosing to NOT wear a mask could kill another person. If they choose to possibly kill someone besides themselves I believe that removes freedom of their choice. If they choose to kill themselves by smoking or jumping off a bridge that is THEIR freedom of choice and doesn't possibly affect someone else. Using your analogy anyone can choose to kill someone because they have freedom of choice and I don't consider THAT (freedom to kill) "the price of freedom." Speech, religion ... yes.
P.S. Thank you for your service.
