Everyone was very on board with distancing and capacity limiting as well whereas there is a significant minority very opposed to masks and its currently something only a minority of people are doing. This law will increase that no doubt but I still think compliance will only be around 75% and that would leave a shop turning away a quarter of its custom, a portion of which would be quite aggressive about it. Look at Desmond Swayne in Parliament yesterday calling it 'a monstrous imposition'. And again as I said earlier, permanent door staff are not a feature of the vast majority of shops. By all means there should be notices in the windows and inside but I would not put staff in a position where they had to refuse service to anyone not wearing a mask
