Exactly this. I feel it'll make more trouble than it's worth. The manager is going to be kept busy answering complaints that this lady or that guy or those people in aisle 7 aren't wearing their mask. And yes people DO complain when someone is not following guidelines in the stores.

HOWEVER

It WILL increase mask useage, because people who say "I won't wear one inside unless the store requires it" will start wearing them.

So there's a plus to the rule, even if it can't be enforced.
