    Could this be a reason to start wearing face masks again like during covid times? If you have an illness it should be more reasonable to do so too.

      Maybe but it is better to just inform the store you and your family and friends won’t be shopping at that store anymore, good luck with your business.

            No not in the US. While most Americans (~70%) are within 10 miles (16km) of a grocery store as foreigners would recognize them, the other 30% have either a Dollar General or Family Dollar. Just those two choices. Sometimes both if they’re lucky. For ~10% of Americans they are 30 miles (48km) or more from a grocery store and usually 10 miles from a dollar store.

            With rising gas prices and the lack of infrastructure across the majority (>80%) of landmass in the US, many rural Americans have to have 4x4 vehicles in order to just drive to their job and back, so an extra ~3 gallons of gas for groceries doesn’t make sense as anything but a monthly expense; and even then statistically the only thing they could get to is a Walmart which is the most common grocery store in the United States; or just as bad a Kroger Brand company or Albertson’s brand company. Those are the three grocery stores that statistically exist for >95% of the US population, and theoretically if you’re banned from one in a specific brand family you’re banned from all in that brand family.
