There is still a debate over wearing a face mask in a public place. Some people don’t mind, and others refuse to cover their face.

A man in Holly wiped his nose on a grocery store worker because she asked him to wear a mask. Those incidents made the news, but there are others too.

Brian Bierly said he was at a Metro Detroit Kroger store and the person in front of him wasn’t wearing a mask.
“I was kind of trapped,” Bierly said.
Local 4 did a Facebook poll to see who is wearing a face mask and who is not -- and why. More than 27,000 participated in the poll and 78 percent said they wear a mask.
