It would be very easy to have someone walk around and enforce their rule. Otherwise, why not just have a sign that says masks are "requested" like many other stores? They are just making people who follow the rule feel cheated.

I know that in Texas, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, and probably more states, masks are REQUIRED when you are in a public place within breathing distance of people, and several states have just shut down indoor dining again. I spent three years in operating rooms wearing masks all day. Properly worn, they DO work to stop transmission of air-borne organisms. They work best if everyone wears them. There are all sorts of government “restrictions to your freedom” that you comply with, such as wearing seatbelts, using turn signals and headlights, having a license plate and a current registration and carrying insurance and wearing shirt and shoes if you want service. What’s the big deal about masks?
