For every study, there seems to be another study pointing to the opposite. I go with the first one I read that put the infection rate much lower if everyone wore masks when not social distancing.
I applaud Publix and Fresh Market for their mask requirements.

That is very true. But, it is up to the prudent person to keep their distance from anyone who is not masked. I also stay away from anyone who wears a mask with a one way valve. Those one way valves, protect the wearer but allow the wearer to exhale into the surrounding air. If the person is infected, the virus can be exhaled into the air through the one way valve. Thankfully, I'm seeing less and less of those one way valve masks in use.
