Customers stand in line to get a table at Maine Beer Company on Saturday. Steve Mills, CEO of Maine Beer Company in Freeport, said the company has had 100 percent compliance of customers wearing masks. “For the first few days after we reopened, we probably had 10 or 15 people a day who said, ‘I’m not going to do it,’ but now it’s down to about one, and half the time they agree to comply,” Mills says. The others, informed they will not be seated, have left without incident.
