In Virginia we are supposed to wear masks indoors everywhere..
Some places like Grocery stores dont enforce but some restaurants wont serve u without a mask..no exceptions..signs say its a law..
Same with malls..they give u one when u enter..

In my state (TN), an executive order (mandate) is enforced like a law. Our governor has the power to issue executive orders that are enforceable by law. He signed an executive order on July 3 to allow local mayors to issue their own mandates (we do not have a statewide mask mandate). Since then, several mayors across the state have issued mandates (largely in the bigger metro areas), my county mayor being one of them. Other counties have simply "strongly encouraged wearing masks." The TN Supreme Court is requiring masks in all court houses across the state and has cancelled the Fall 2020 BAR exam.

This is silly though. Who cares? You literally only wear the mask to your seat. The instant you are seated you can take it off to order, then the second a drink hits the table you are done with the mask.
I put it back on to walk out. It's not that big of a deal to me. Do you want to eat out or not?

The virus is allergic to tables.

Executive orders are not formal legislation passed by the legislative branch, but they have the force of law, whether it's the state executive branch (the governor) or the federal executive branch (the president). That's why "mandatory" and "mandate" have the same root. It is compulsory.
Notably, though it varies by state, some of the EOs were sloppily drafted (though it may be intentional, who knows) and they specifically lack an enforcement mechanism.

I was just getting clarification if it was a law or mandate and giving a couple examples ive seen of discrepancies in how businesses enforce the law/mandate.
And i dont see if its your business if i want to eat or not. That is besides the point.

That’s just a blanket statement to anyone who won’t wear a mask in a restaurant. In Houston they are going after the business thus forcing them to enforce the mask. And it’s not beside the point. Wanna eat? Put the fricking mask on. Don’t? Eat sandwiches at the house.... Again.
That’s all the clarification I can give. The tactic appears to be pressuring the business with fines or beer/liquor licenses. Individual was to be warned then fined up to $250. No jail time was ever mentioned.
