Some customers refuse to wear masks, putting store workers in a tough spot

Retail chains from CVS to 7-Eleven are being forced to decide whether and how to enforce rules on masks after a string of attacks on clerks and security guards by patrons who refused to cover their faces.

As more cities, states and businesses require customers to cover up in stores, face coverings have become a flashpoint in the debate over how to stop the spread of the coronavirus. Some opponents of forced shutdowns and social-distancing requirements are flouting mask mandates, leaving grocers, drugstore chains and big-box...

These companies will go out business, trying to make people wear masks

True, it really is time to remove masks requirements except for hospitals, nursing homes, and in some hard hit cities the buses.

Don’t let them in. It is private property, if they trespass have them arrested. Simple

No mask no service glad Costco is taking a stand.

This is similar to seat belts, will take time for adoption.

They have never stopped people with a lot of items from going thru the express check-out. No 15yo cashier wants to be the police.

Restaurants and shops have had rules for years...”Shirts and Shoes Required!” Or even “No Food or Drinks Allowed”...this is nothing new...”Mask Required” is not a political statement...

Ah maybe because our leadership won’t wear then either

Here is an ideadont serve them because you are not only protecting yourself but others. DON'T BE STUPID

You give the customer a mask!

Remember 'No shoes. No shirt. No service.'? Well, the same applies with this. NO MASK & NO ENTRY!

It’s real simple: No mask, no entry. Make it a part of membership at Costco. If some selfish COVIDIOT doesn’t want to wear a mask while shopping s/he can shop someplace else and endanger other people who’ll do the same to them.

They don't have to if they don't want to. Store workers can wear theirs if it makes them feel safer

Wear the damn mask, what is so hard about that, you have rules in your house, they have rules in their store, smh

Please don't let them in.

Hire security guards to stop the fools.

If they refuse to wear masks, kick them out. This is the new normal now.

If people wouldn't be ass-hats it wouldn't be so difficult. I don't like masks either but it's out of respect for others. But, MAGA 😏

No Shoes-No Shirt No Service...people don’t have any problem with this-so why the problem w/adding No Mask to the notice. Stores have the right to refuse service for the 1st 2 so add the last to keep their employees & other customers safe.

They should not be allowed in. It’s a private company. I don’t care if people wear or not masks out in the open but if a shop is requiring to wear them, you wear them or do not go in.

drop them on the floor and call the cops.

Stores require shoes. Clothes. Why not masks? The stores should hand out masks at the door. Problem is they don’t have enough

If that is the store policy, don't let them in. No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service!

Since the masks have been demonstrated to have done nothing to reduce the spread... It's not the customer's, it's the corporate policy putting the employees in a tough spot.

Can you link me to the efficacy study on masks worn by patrons? I still haven’t seen the solid scientific evidence behind it. Only anecdotal
