“No Shoes, No Shirt, No Mask, No Service” (business sign)

The 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic made face masks required in many business establishments. The sign “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service” became “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Mask, No Service.”
   
“We now need signs saying ‘No Mask, No Gloves, No Service’ for the sake of health” was posted on Twitter by FreeFalling on March 16, 2020. “Maybe it should be changed to: No shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service” was posted on Twitter by Rated G on March 17, 2020. “No shirt, no shoes, NO MASK?  No service” was posted on Twitter by Straight_Up on March 21, 2020.

Easy way would have been to distribute masks to EVERYONE in the US.  Well, not easy, but easier than what we’re doing now.  Then put signs up everywhere “No shirt, no shoes, NO MASK?  No service.”

Dear Representative Bacon,
Please let me know if you need masks throughout Nebraska. Ideally we need to have stores be “No Shoes, No Shirt, No Mask, No Service.” Nebraskans are sewing masks to #FlattenTheCuve

Businesses need to reopen under the stipulation of “no shoes, no shirt, no mask, no service”.
Lets get back to work today.

No shirt, no shoes, no mask, no service? Will SLO County mandate face coverings?

Local grocery store workers have asked the San Luis Obispo County public health officer to mandate customers wear masks — a desire underscored by a clerk who told officials Tuesday she feels at risk just going to work.

CLARIFICATION: Arkansans will NOT be required to wear masks to restaurants for dine-in ADH tells @KATVNews. They’re allowing restaurants to make their own decision and refuse patrons service if they don’t comply. It’s like no shoes, no shirt…no mask…no service. #arnews #arpx

Is it possible for all stores/retailers to require that customers wear masks/face coverings?  As an extension of “no shirts, no shoes, no service”?  Thanks and stay safe.

I suppose service signs in the future will read “No shirt, no shoes, no mask = No Service”. Being a member subscription retailer it would help them to offer masks as an included member benefit. #NewNormal https://lnkd.in/eh68hdz
People are boycotting Costco for requiring shoppers to wear masks in stores — and it reveals the…
