I'm currently unemployed and refusing to move on to in person interviews if they require mask. Ah the principled life, it's not an easy journey. Good luck.
I wouldnt even ask. Just show up without it and if they try and force you to wear one, just leave. Make them waste time on you just because of a mask. If everyone adopts the same philosophy, eventually places will get tired of reviewing apps just to lose a potential employee over a mask.
Too bad you couldn't get a few others in positions of importance to join you in leaving. It could have made an unmistakable impact. Replacing one person is a headache but not impossible. Replacing a group of key people could really impact a company negatively. They might have wanted to negotiate and possibly made masks optional? Good luck.
Well done, OP. (But the plural of "American" is "Americans".) Start your own business, as I did a couple of decades ago. It worked for me. Mail order can be good, since you don't deal deal with customers face-to-face. Service industries can be good (plumber, electrician) but not if the customers would rather deal with the problem themselves than allow you in without a mask.
