Quote from Dealer210 :
So, in a state where wearing a mask is optional, they want us to to gather in the stores to prepare for emergencies while we are in the middle of an emergency?
Moreover, respirators do not qualify for emergency preparation supplies sales tax exemption.

Quote from skimmilk68 :
literally no store in TX (besides maybe Austin) is actually mandating masks

I would say maybe 25% of customers are actually wearing masks in any store I visit
Very different experience in Houston and surrounding area. Almost all stores require mask and people are wearing them. What city are you at?

I got a Jackery 500 and 100 watt solar charger bundle for $719.98. You can also buy the Jackery 500 by itself for $419.99, but if you buy the solar charger separately for $299.99 you'll be charged tax on that.

What emergency... Covid cases are rapidly decreasing... and it's 99.7% survivable... ffs....
As much as I disagree with what Dealer210 said, let's not down play the pandemic just we are on the right track. The situation could change rapidly without mask wearing and social distancing.

Grocery stores and Costco and the like near me in Plano/Frisco do. A few are changing their signs to "masks requested" but the majority are sticking to required.
Some restaurants also still continue to impose mask mandate.
