Similar story, but I didn't get as far as you. I hate AutoZone. Overpriced, never have the thing I need, to me anymore it's "baby's first trip to the auto parts store."
But I needed some brake cleaner (~May 2020) or wipes or something, and AutoZone was slightly closer than O'Reilly's or Advanced. "Surely AutoZone can't fuck this up, right?" Mind you, I'm in a rural part of a very red county in Florida.
The moment I open the door, the dude behind the counter is shouting... I assume there's some emergency, some chemical spill, some confrontation, then I see that he's looking right at me shouting "MASK! MASK! MASK!" Again, being a chemist, I assume there's some toxic gas in the air, then I remember that there are actual people out here who think the air is poison.
So I flipped him off and went to O'Reilly's, who has yet to let me down. No one was masked there, no one batted an eye that I was unmasked. Had I been at the register already at AutoZone, I may have behaved differently. But given they were already on thin ice with me... anyway, I haven't been back to AutoZone since; probably not going back ever.

> Had I been at the register already at AutoZone
Depending on how vengeful I am, if I were at the cashier, and then they want to force me to comply with some bullshit, I'd just have left the items there. In a grocery store that would be even a massive hassle for them.
The level of inconvenience one can cause is quite astonishing. Some things are very simple to do even.
Just imagine - in a shop, put your hand into a shelve, and shove everything down the floor. It's an act that takes mere seconds, causes a lot of inconvenience (no damage if the items aren't easily breakable), and it's neither theft, nor trespassing. And you could do it a lot before you could be stopped - and the first to stop you is just some employee.
One just has to be aware of the possibilities. For the case I'd be fucked around with, I had my options. For many things btw, even forced clotshots, or requiring clotshots to shop groceries. Is a doctor willing to fight to death for it? At that time it was unclear what the maximum level of insanity was, but I was prepared to deal with all of it.
Luckily, wearing a useless cloth mask at some places was the miracle solution for them, and that was the peak.
