Did you give any pushback or immediately fold? I've been asked to leave and put on my mask more than I can count, but I've ALWAYS been able to make my purchase.
I tell people "I really wish I could" [bring myself to] "wear a mask, but I have difficulty breathing." (that last part is true for everyone - it's harder to breathe with a mask). "I don't want to cause a disturbance, I'm not making a statement, I'd just like to make my purchase in peace." This keeps me righteous, non-confrontational, and taps the manager/security guard's humanity.
Having some kind of inhaler on your person helps sell this as well (although I never lie)
I got kicked out and banned from my local Giant for shopping without a mask a couple weeks ago. The manager called the police, lied about having told me before that I needed to wear a mask in the store (literally only the second time I'd gone into that store maskless, and the first time no one said anything to me at all) regardless of any health conditions I had, and had the cop escort me out and told me I wasn't welcome back in.
And that would be a prime example of a business I would go out of my way to make sure never gets my money again. I'd tell them on a regular basis, too. I tweet @Menards periodically whenever talking about how they've lost my business forever thanks to being mask gestapo.
Proven to cause 17% less oxygen with each breath. I see people at the gym working out with masks on and it’s got to be miserable. We’re required to wear them at work everyday doing some brutal labor and the only time we wear them is when there’s safety people around.
Even they don’t wear them if they’re in a secluded place with 1-2 people they trust. It’s all a fucking farce.
The only reason I wear one in a store is so I don’t get bitched at because I’ll flip out on someone
I should have specified this only goes for N95’s and similar masks while being worn properly. Basically we exhale more CO2 into the mask then oxygen coming in. So after a little we begin to breath more CO2 less oxygen. It’s why you’ll get headaches and feel lightheaded after wearing one and breathing heavy.
If you wear a cloth covering or those paper surgical masks it’s no different than breathing normally
That's so ironic. So the mask that is actually somewhat effective against this invisible enemy, when worn properly is the mask that also suffocates you the most.
Cloth masks have their own problems. Surgical masks are a glorified and unsanitary halloween outfit. (<--- can't wait for those btw..)

Thanks Maryland.
Might be a store policy [mandate] nationwide, thanks, I'll know to avoid [boycott] Giant.
Keep up the good fight pede.

Would love to have a source on that 17% if you know of one
Pretty long article
