California store bans masks after thieves use them to avoid identification

One store in Beverly Hills, California (https://www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/west/california) is banning visitors from wearing masks, citing the recent wave of robberies in which employees have been unable to identify thieves because their faces were covered.

Anyone masking up nowadays is either unhealthily paranoid, or has an ulterior motive for wearing it.

Masks always were a waste of time, and always will be, concerning viruses. Masks don't work. They don't help a dang thing, and may in fact be harmful.

Mask mandates were always unjustifiable, because masks don't work.
