While those of us who live in Texas have been getting used to wearing our masks in public, it looks like many major retailers are implementing mask mandates nationally as well.
Here's a list of retailers that are now requiring face masks to visit their stores, courtesy of Fox32Chicago:
Apple
Best Buy -- the chain says it will provide a face mask if the customer arrives without one. Shoppers can also make use of the website for home delivery or contactless curbside pickup. I personally used their curbside pickup service to buy printer ink back in April and had a great experience!
Costco
CVS -- beginning July 20, 2020 nationally
Dollar Tree
Kohl's -- this is for inside the store only, as Kohl's is currently providing limited contact drive-up pickup options for shoppers who order online and pick up locally.
Lowe's -- beginning July 20, 2020 nationally
Publix
Sam's Club
Starbucks
Target -- beginning August 1, 2020 nationally
Trader Joes
Walmart -- beginning July 20, 2020 nationally
Whole Foods -- however, the chain will have masks at the entrance of all stores for customers who do not have their own face covering already.
If you're not well-stocked on masks at home yet, it looks like That Daily Deal is still offering a free KN95 mask to customers, plus deeply discounted deals on disposable masks. Go here for details.
