    I really don't think it will...just like all the anti-gun businesses driven under for not allowing guns...very few. Kroger isn't going under just because the Mercado isn't requiring masks.

    i was thinking restaurants when I wrote that, but I doubt the mask thing has more than few months left

    Barking up the wrong tree. The line that was crossed was when elected politicians used laws on the books to justify issuing extralegislative orders, enable subordinate level elected politicians to so the same, then got into a pîssing match over who is right or wrong and then pitting the public against each other in some sort of moral supremacy match. But the bell cannot he unrung and my faith in the average human being reasonable has been proven wrong yet again and in new ways.

    While I vehemently disagree with laws that prevent citizens from exercising constitutional rights in businesses open to the public and places to worship, mask/no-mask isn’t anywhere near a constitutional right and it should be within their purview to decide acceptable behaviors in their operating spaces, so vote with the pocketbook or find a way around it.
    Agreed with you up to the last paragraph.

    The OP has a few options.
    1. Avoid places that require masks. Realize that this might be unrealistic given that lots of places will continue to require masks.
    2. Ignore rules business rules and go in without a mask.
    3. Wear a mask.

    Personally, I find #2 to be self entitled and sets you up for a confrontation. I personally see wearing a mask a minor inconvenience Not worth bending over backwards trying to avoid . . . Because there are way bigger issues out there.
    I followed option 2 for everywhere but the doctor's office (but even there took it off once in the examining room, as did both docs) since this crap started.

    Never had a confrontation. Only left one place when they insisted.

    Liberty is as important in the small as in the big. We have given in too much already. Time to draw a line.

    I've been to Kroger, Walgreens and Walmart in the DFW area. Only saw one person without a mask. I believe all 3 have store policies mandating masks like most other major retailers.
    The wally world here in rockwall requires the employees wear them, customers don't have to. It's about time.

    Its been a full scale repeal up here. I havent seen a single person wearing one at all after the 10th.

    I wonder what DFW is like. Basing off my co-workers hystery, I am assuming its still like china down there with the sea of masks everywhere you go
    I'm in the DFW area and I have noticed very little change at all.

    I have found that most places that have signs up saying things like "No mask- no service-no exceptions" really don't enforce them. I just walk right in and shop as needed.
    I don't know about all that but, the signs saying 'mask required' in my areas are still up and have been ignored / unenforced for months.

    Some remarks elsewhere here about Kroger. In our village, Kroger hasn't been doing too spiffy for some time. Wife said she saw a couple of people w/o masks last time in. HEB down the street has been kicking their butts for years and the decline in Kroger is visible. Never enough checkers and management is invisible. Went into a stamps, printing etc. place yesterday and one employee was masked and one was not. I went to the unmasked of course as did another brave soul. Many came in masked up and waited in line for the masked guy. SHEEP still flock. Keep my handy dandy mesh mask in my pocket in case confrontation gets too strong and I really have to be there. I think everyone will calm down in a couple of weeks, anyway that's what I think. Lina is off tilting at the TXDOT windmill now.

    Drove from Austin to Shreveport yesterday. Stopped a few times along the way. Mixed bag of mask/ no mask. My gf wears one. I don't. No one ever asked me about it. Here in S'port no one has said anything. But I do have to wear one to get into the casino's.
