Target began requiring buyers to wear masks or masks at outlets across the country on August 1.
The trick prompted swift action by Broward County officials. The target was fined for not enforcing the county mask law and subpoenas were sent to protesters, the South Florida Sun Sentinel reported.

Conflicts in corporations and viral videos of buyers’ diatribes erupted amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has begged retail outlets not to discuss anti-mask customers.
In early July, Melissa Rein Lively’s spiral on an Arizona target was filmed in plain sight. She recorded the destruction of a mask demonstration, which told USA TODAY that she regrets it. It’s in remedy for an intellectual disease.
The Florida video began to go viral wednesday, the same day CDC Director Robert Redfield told a Senate panel that the American public might not have a vaccine until the summer or fall of 2021 and that mask is “the vital maxim and public conditioning tool we have. ” , perhaps even more effective than a vaccine.
Hours later, President Donald Trump criticized and countered any of the comments, suggesting that Redfield might have misunderstood the questions he was asked under oath.
Target’s retail outlets have extended their opening hours in many places to 10 p. m. and are offering “contactless processing options,” adding sidewalk collection and Shipt deliveries, the company said.
