I am disturbed that the mandatory mask policy has become optional in the High Street Stop and Shop in Torrington, CT. Has Stop and Shop changed this policy because I have been to several other stores and they all require masks? We are in the middle of a virus surge and there still are a lot of people who have not been vaccinated. Why would you allow your customers and staff to be exposed to careless people who have not protected themselves. The Governor did not suggest changing mask policies even though some businesses are beginning to open again. If the mask policy becomes optional now, you will lose a lot of people at that store and others who don't require masks. A lot of people were making comments about it, so you may lose a lot more customers.
