So if you have COPD or asthma, you’ll be asked to leave the store? Or what?

You can do curb side delivery. I was doing that before this virus started.
Just relax. Wear a mask if you want to shop there. Not that big of a deal. Probably a good chance this trend increases and other stores follow suit.

I just got into it with my manager on that very topic, whereas he was stating businesses have the right to refuse service and I was stating that a “health order” overrides the businesses’ right to refuse service for those wearing a mask due to “equal access/non-discrimination” language in the health orders.
In states with a health order mandate for statewide requirements, there is an EXEMPTION for those with medical conditions and a requirement that the business provide equal access to services from businesses “open to the public.” (Costco is NOT “open to the public” so that business is an outlier, as are Sam’s Club stores).
In states WITHOUT a statewide health order mandate, businesses open to the public can do whatever they want, reinforced by a an attorney re Utah (among others. Note: Utah does NOT have a statewide mandate).
However, Utah implemented a mask mandate for “state facilities” on July 10 and EVEN THERE they have an exemption for medical conditions.
I’ve not been denied service ANYWHERE in Oregon since Tyrant Kate Brown implemented her statewide order (now to include OUTDOORS as of today).
Here is the Utah order for state facilities. Note the exemption:
