His frustration was toward the wrong person. They are only requiring masks because of the state governor not something they came up with. But I get it he was just snapping on LIFE and sick of everything that has been going on the past 2 months.
"The courts are not bound by mere form, nor are they to be misled by mere pretenses. They are at liberty -- indeed they are under a solemn duty -- to look at the substance of things, whenever they enter upon the inquiry whether the legislature has transcended the limits of its authority.

You’re not allowed to go into a restaurant without wearing shoes; that’s another requirement people have. People who run restaurants have been able to tell people who are walking barefoot in their restaurants they’re not allowed to be there, It’s perfectly acceptable to tell people you’re not allowed in if you’re not wearing a face mask.
There is no case law on shoes, but there is case law on masks and held under the equal protection of the law. But once a medical or religious reason is given for shoes, you can bet damn well there will be discrimination case laws over the wearing of shoes in a publicly accessible business.
