Dear Editor,
Recently I went to a big box store in Richmond and was asked to leave due to not having a mask. I returned to my work truck to look for a mask and found an old dirty dust mask on the passenger floor.
If a business place or establishment is going to make masks mandatory, then masks should be supplied to the customer. I understand wearing a mask is a government policy to protect people, but if a business chooses to stay open and follow these policies, then complimentary masks should be provided.
I retrieved the items required and lined up at the checkout where I encountered an employee not wearing a mask.
It raises the question, why are we customers required to protect you against ourselves, but your employees are not required to protect us from them?
