My understanding is that a shop is a private business and you can only enter their premises under their conditions.
There are a lot of places you have to wear all sorts of safety equipment before you are allowed on the premises.
A decade ago I had tilers doing my new bathroom, they weren't wearing face masks. I gave them the heads up on silicosis, & told them if you don't wear masks I will get someone else to do the work.

' "The bottom line is that on private property there is an obligation of store owners to make sure that that property is as safe for patrons and their staff as possible.

How thick can people be? Yes, & here in Townsville where we've been clear for yonks & where people from Vic are flying in, all it takes is one *!* idiot to walk in with the lurgy & we'll all be stuffed. Again at Bunnings, walking in & observing people. The company supplies free sanitiser - but it appears most shoppers think its an ornament to glance at & keep on walking!
And one in Woolies the other day - the sign said "Take one sheet, wipe the trolley & proceed". So the woman in front of us takes one sheet, plonks it in the bin. Then proceeds to take five sheets & floods the trolley handles, hands with the fluid.
I place this in the joke section, as I thought that it was a laughable encounter
Usual disclaimer, the only legal words I know, is that an ill Eagle, is a sick bird, so my interpretation of what happened could be wrong
Basically a lady was asked to wear a mask, while inside a Bunnings store
The story is in the link below, and there is also a video you can click on
