“Remember no shirt, no shoes, no service? What was the legal basis for that? Yes, there have may been some bias against surfers in the state of California, but fundamentally it was about health,” Harris explained.

“Basically, only an individual with a disability who can show that wearing a mask would significantly interfere with their ability to breathe or some other necessary function could claim that an exemption from a mask requirement would constitute a reasonable accommodation,” Stephen Befort, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School, told USA TODAY.
One such example may include Air Force veteran Israel del Toro, who was mistakenly barred from entering a commissary on Peterson Air Force Base.
“I don’t have ears, I can’t loop them,” del Toro told KKTV, also citing his breathing condition as another issue. “Trust us, if we could, we would wear masks,” he said, referring to disabled veterans and other vulnerable populations.



It's time to THINK ABOUT OTHERS AND WEAR YOUR DAMN MASK!!!


No excuses, ALMOST none

Even if it did, a place of business still has the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. They're fully within their rights to require a mask to enter the store.

Just throwing that out there ahead of some almost certainly boneheaded assertions coming soon in a thread on this topic.

Not to mention stores can provide reasonable accommodations for people who truly have a disabling condition that prevents them from wearing masks. Grocery stores have offered curbside pick up and check out services for individuals who cannot or do not wish to abide by face covering entry conditions.

Also, there are face masks that have big loops intended to go around your head instead of your ears.

Having no ears is not an excuse.
