No Mask, No Service

With many areas now starting the process of reopening some businesses to the public, the mask controversy is coming up again - do businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask ... or to anyone who is wearing one?

I'm seeing a lot of people today sharing articles about businesses that are intentionally trying to be controversial by refusing to allow people in wearing masks. My first couple thoughts:

• There's a lot of articles about this so it seems widespread, but it's probably a very small minority of businesses - this topic just makes a more exciting article than talking about all the people who are following recommendations and guidelines.
• This will make it easier to track where people may have picked up the virus (especially if multiple people get sick after visiting the same place) 🤷‍♀️
• Won't that business owner feel silly when people start suing them because they got sick in their establishment?

...Actually, since I started writing this post, I was looking at more of these articles, and it looks like all the recent ones are versions of the same story about a bar in Texas! So maybe this guy will go viral among the people who want to go viral, but it may be even less widespread than I originally thought!
