I walked into a liquor store without a mask. The guy comes out from the back room and says "you got a mask?" in a demanding way. I say "you want my business, or not?", and he says "yeah..." in a defeated sounding tone. I get some whiskey and say thanks, and that was it.
Small businesses should be ignoring this nonsense, but maybe he watches a little too much TV.
Dealt with like a boss there Fren.... We'll score our whiskey maskless and ride on to Shadilay!
Yes it was handled well, especially considering that the store owner may not be asking anyone else to wear a mask in the future as a result of this encounter.
