When this happens to me, I write a letter to the corporate legal department citing the facts, the federal Civil Rights Act (religious discrimination) and ADA, and the state's anti-discrimination laws.

If nothing else, it wastes somebody's time, and maybe comes back on the store. I be sure to tell them that unless this is addressed me and my family will never shop at their chain again, anywhere.

Arguing does no good in changing minds in the moment, because these Branch Covidians are too vested in their mask cult. But it may plant some seeds, perhaps not in the head of who you're interacting with, but maybe in those who are not directly participating.

Confrontation is withering, though -- eventually these bastards will become gun shy, especially if they see that the time and money lost is not worth it. I'm pretty sure that the big boxes (e.g., Costco) are getting PPP funds for maintaining their policies, however. So they won't care unless lots of folks get turned away.

An effective technique is to submit a notarized Notice by Affidavit. This is a big topic that I am just starting to explore. David Jose and Josh Barnett (search Utube) have used this in Arizona to get the vote audit started, and are supporting the patriots in Windham, NH to get their's going. When people in AZ started copying Notices to the Governor about stores restricting their rights due to his mask mandate, he lifted it.

The Notices may or may not have made the difference in this instance, but they do carry a huge threat for government officials: Anytime you put evidence of a felony, or treason into the hands of a government actor, and he fails to act on it, he becomes a party to that felony or treason, and hence an accomplice. These people have accepted a trust indenture called the Constitution, and their felonious act consists of restricting our rights, taking away our liberties, and forcing us to follow mandates.

The Notices are forceful reminders that these officials work for us. They are our servants, and swore an oath to protect our rights. They know this, which is why none of the "mandates" are backed by statute, but are being enforced by store policy. But a store policy cannot violate the law, which all of the masking ones do. We need to connect this violation back to our city and state servants, and put the fear of the law and the People (which is the same thing) into them.
