A mask in Walmart is not worth going to jail over. Now he will be rammed in jail and end up with the Covid.

Forcing Tyranny on customers can be only from time we walk in the door till we leave. Stores better make concessions for their employees that can't leave

A study in what NOT TO DO if one refuses to wear a mask: Leave calmly, and review choices... use the Pick Up option, or Delivery option at said store, or find another store that doesn't require a mask to enter.
