Masks already required

Re.: Save-On to 50% capacity (Castanet, Jan. 19)

So , Save-On-Foods is reducing its in-store capacity to 50% due to Covid-19 and its Delta and Omicron (variants) spread.

Forgive me if i'm wrong but aren’t all shoppers required to wear masks when entering and exiting the store? If so, then why the reduction in capacity?

Everyone in the store is safe, they have their masks on don't they? Is this Save-On's way of telling us simply that the masks are useless? If that's the case, why are we bothering to wear them at all? Something is wrong here.
