Jesus Christ. I'm not a masker, but sometimes I dream of a free market where business owners can set their own rules. Do you want to serve customers only with masks, fine do it, only without masks, by all means, both, why not? And let's see in a year or two which policy the market favours.
My bet would be on "I don't care what you wear as long as you buy from my business".
