FYI I typed this up before your post, so if in any way I seemed to be making a shot across the bow, it was completely unintended, and I agree with your argument.Nope, all good. 🙂
But store owners do have the constitutional right to make you wear a mask within their property.This is true. And if a store owner/employee wants to be really pushy about it, I’ll either put one on or leave (sometimes both; I wore a mask to my library for a year because it was the rule and a number of the librarians are elderly, but after a year of keeping my distance and barely interacting with anyone anyway due to a new computerized system I decided the mask was an unnecessary hindrance to breathing, and when they were really pushy about it I just stopped going and haven’t been back in almost a year since). But I find that most businesses are only keeping up the appearance of mask mandates because they feel pressured to, not because they actually feel a need/want to mandate it themselves. Which is its own problem when it comes to business-owners’ rights.
