De-Escalating Confrontations Over Masks

With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, public health agencies advise people to wear masks or face coverings in public. The rules around wearing masks or face coverings in businesses are often confusing and inconsistent. Some customers refuse to wear masks for a variety of reasons. When a customer angrily refuses to wear a mask when coming into your business, who has to handle the situation — the public-facing employees.
