Re: Face mask

I was very surprised by the post. This is a very small shop and I think it irresponsible to post such a comment, apart from it being the law to wear masks in stores it’s the right thing to do. Each time a new measure is brought it by the government, it’s to stop the spread and save lives and yet man...
