Coronavirus - new mask guidelines

There are lots of news articles about the CDC's (Center For Disease Control And Prevention) new guidelines about wearing masks. Here are examples:

Saturday Night Live satirized the new rules.

Obviously the new guidelines rely heavily on voluntary compliance. They are very difficult to enforce. Is Walmart or any other place going to ask for proof of vaccination if a person is not wearing a mask? How would the enforcer know if the proof of vaccination is fake or borrowed or not? If a person walks in with a mask, is the person going to be watched to assure the person doesn't remove it?
