I used to think that if you lived in a higher end neighborhood everyone would get a long and play nicely in the sandbox....but I've learned that accumulated wealth doesn't seem to have much of an impact on being respectful of others...that's a value that should have learned from one's parents growing up...of course if the parent didn't have that value that answers the question
Correct, and they learned their attitude because their parents probably kept the lights on during air raids NOBODY GONNA TELL THEM WHAT TO DO!

I used to think as one gets older they learn how to be kinder. The day I realized this wasn’t true shocked and saddened me. Takes a healthy dose of self awareness and courage to choose respectful dialogue as opposed to the nastiness we see from our seniors in TV everyday on social media. Very poor role models for our youth.

Not sure I see a difference.

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.
Wouldn’t it make sense to simply treat it as if someone walked into the store without shirt or shoes? Not sure what stores do when that happens but it should be treated the same. Simple solution - politely remind customers that to come in they need to wear a mask and then offer them one.

I agree. I don't see any problem having and enforcing a rule to wear a mask. And, it seems very easy to avoid confrontation.

Even if they do not care about others — or themselves — why can’t the Anti-Maskers figure out that they are culpable in the impending total destruction of the bricks-and-mortar economy.

Even though I wear a mask, I am limiting going into stores because I do not want to deal with the Anti-Maskers.

When we have nothing left but a gaping maw of empty retail space, we will know what finally did it.

Bricks-and-mortar retail has been teetering on the brink for years, but the Anti-Maskers are nailing the coffin shut.

Btw, if you are an Anti-Masker and you have an investment portfolio that includes REITs, it is quite possible that you own a piece of that commercial retail property that could soon be empty — and could stay that way. Geez. Look around. Get a clue.

If a store requires a mask for entering, then they should provide one for those who don't have one. They do that at the doctor's office for me. I needed to go to the lab, and they handed me a mask and told me to wear it before entering. So I did. When I was leaving, I took it off and asked the attendant who gave it to me if she wanted it for the next person. You should have seen the look in her eyes (as that was all that was visible behind her mask).

If you go to the pro shops of the villages, there is a sign on the door stating face masks are required. When you go in, the clerks behind the counter and management are not wearing masks. " Do as ask, not as I do " seems to be theme of our community.

Nobody wants the job of following people around the store to enforce mask wearing. If you watch any of the social media videos of people who start pushing workers or throwing all of the food out of their baskets onto the floor while screaming FU and spitting at the employees who are just trying to do their jobs, it's like putting your life at risk. No one should be told to wear a mask, they should just wear the darn thing! Stupid not to.

Right up there with all the young morons who wear their pants below their butts. Ridiculous!

Barnes & Noble is not a private place. It may be privately owned but it is open to the public. So if the county or state decides to require masks in public, that will include Barnes & Nobel.

Ii think you would be surprised. Some wouldn't, but a lot of employees wouldn't mind at all.
