Chamber quizzes business mask attitudes

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho (KIFI/KIDK)-If the city of Idaho Falls were to consider a face mask requirement, Idaho Falls merchants would not necessarily support it.

In an informal, online survey, the Greater Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce asked its membership a variety of questions about the issue.  About 315 people responded.

43% of those responding said they already require their employees to wear a face mask at work, but 76% don’t expect the same from their customers.  If there was a mandatory face mask requirement, 65% of them would not deny service to customers who refused to comply.

51% do not think a face mask requirement would have much impact on their business, but 38% felt it would.  The respondents indicated about a fourth of their clients already wear a mask when they enter the business.
