  • The supermarket have the right to insist all customers weak masks in the interest of OTHER CUSTOMERS health. If a customer who does not wear a mask insists that there is no law and it is his human rights no wear it, then he should know that supermarket is protecting the human rights of other customers. He should either follow the rule or leave.
