The way you phrased it Swim, it sounded like if a shop didn't enforce it, you wouldn't bother with a mask
That is what made me comment.
I am guessing now you meant you wouldn't bother with the shop itself?

Only to you, plain as day to everyone else.
If a shop is not enforcing it I am not using that shop.
Simples.

Yes with Police saying they have not got the man-power, time, etc.
But although private property, I wonder if environmental services employees ( Local authorities ) have the power to issue such fines.
I know they can in public areas with warning signs, Litter dropping, dogs fouling and other stuff.
And in places I've seen, you could easily fine 10 or 20 people within an hour...... that's big money for someone at £100 each.
After a a hundred or so on the spot fines were carried out, people...not all, but most would wear masks when told.

Re: Moronville, a mask free zone
One person has been fined for not wearing a face covering in a shop in the first two weeks since it became compulsory.Police officers spoke to the man after seeing him without a mask in a supermarket in Jedburgh on 16 July.
He was advised of the guidelines but refused to comply and was given a £60 fixed penalty notice (FPN).
A spokeswoman confirmed it was the only FPN police had issued since the rule was introduced in Scotland on 10 July.
◾Face coverings now compulsory in Scotland's shops
Assistant Chief Constable Gary Ritchie said: "The chief constable has made it clear that we are asking people to take personal responsibility to do the right thing and remember the purpose of these measures is to aid the collective effort to stay safe, protect others and save lives by preventing the virus from spreading.
"Our officers will continue to engage with the public, explain the legislation and guidance and encourage compliance. We will use enforcement as a last resort only where there is a clear breach of the legislation."
He added: "A number of exemptions exist that mean certain people are not required to wear a face covering in a shop.
"We would encourage people to raise any concerns with business owners or staff in the first instance."
Everyone has been wearing facemasks in all the shops I've been in and haven't heard any complaints.

Yes, you're quite probably right there, Marciniak.
