Whoa, how bad is it that I didn’t even think of that until you brought it up? My Gawd.

These people are so afraid to talk directly to the public!!! LOL!!!!
The email says that masks are required in all public indoor settings, but I never have a problem going into stores without one, and in many independently-owned places the employees don't even wear them. In larger corporate stores the security rarely ever bothers me, and quickly leave me alone when I tell them I have breathing problems. Their employers know that there are no laws to support the mask mandates, and they don'tt want to end up in court over discrimination or nosing into people's personal health issues, which are both illegal.
I know I'll never here back again....
