For the last 14 months, the place where I often work has had a mask mandate for employees. Customers were encouraged to wear a mask, but not refused service or scolded if they didn't. Two months ago, Cabela's followed Texas Gov. Abbott's directive to unmask (for customers). Employees remained masked.
The company decided to lift the employee mask mandate last weekend. Free at last!
By the way, our store has remained open all through the pandemic (essential services: guns and ammo). We are an approximately 250,000 sq. ft. retail operation employing about 200 people, ranging in age from 18 to 88. We had two employees contract the Wuhan Flu (CV19), both of whom were exposed outside of the store and returned to work within a couple of weeks.
The hat is a completely unstructured cotton cap with a mesh back. It boasts Cabela's founding date (but not the date of its 2017 demise as an independent company). The colors (mustard and navy) remind me of the Cub Scout hat I had as a child.
