They’re allowing people to enter without masks?
Businesses are allowed, but not obligated, to enforce the bylaw. Most don't want to deal with the confrontation so I'm not surprised there's no enforcement.
I suspect that more than anything what this does is normalize mask wearing. 80% of people are just going to go with the flow of whatever is normal. They don't want to be the one "weirdo" wearing a mask, or not wearing a mask. Some of the 5% are probably just people that forgot to bring their mask, or haven't got one yet, or are waiting to see if they become mainstream so they're not the odd one out. I suspect in a couple weeks that'll be 98%, asides from a few dedicated anti-masker conspiracy theorists.
