Turns out any business with legitimate security concerns doesn't need to require masks.

There is no government mandated mask requirement in our county. Yet.

Some stores are "recommending" masks for customers, requiring them for employees.

Costco requires masks for customers, if you don't have one, they will give you a complimentary one at the store entrance.

What i found funny, in light of Fredward's remark about security concerns, is a jewelery store in a strip mall near here. Sign at the entrance states that masks are OK, but sunglasses and hats are not OK. There is no mention of weapons, which is also kind of funny for a store that is clearly concerned about the possibility of robbery. In fact, I was in that store to have something repaired, stopped in after picking up my mail at The UPS Store next door. I laid my mail on the counter. The jeweler looked at my NRA magazine and said, "That's a good magazine," as he glanced at the slight bulge in my shirt just behind my right hip.
