Those are private businesses. They can deny service to anyone not belonging to a protected group (religious, ethnic, sexual orientation, list not exhausted). And in the case of protected groups they can still be denied service on any other grounds except because they're part of their particular group.

And I hear that even if you have a doctors note that says you can't wear a mask, places where they sell food can still deny service.

I don't think it would work for her. She is able to tolerate the fully-transparent face-covering PPE she uses at work, but she cannot tolerate an opaque mask.
