"Mandating masks is a non starter. I’ll be cancelling my membership on May 4th when that goes into effect," wrote another.

In a release posted on their COVID response page, the membership store said the face coverings must cover the nose and mouth, be worn "at all times" in the store, and will not serve as a "substitute for social distancing."
The company has made other store policy changes during the novel coronavirus pandemic, including earlier closing times, store capacity limits and giving first responders priority admittance.
So--what do you think? Should more U.S. stores require face coverings, or is this a step too far?
