A shop worker was subjected to a torrent of racial abuse when she asked a customer to put on a face mask, police have said.
It happened at the Costcutter store in Kirton, near Boston, on Sunday at about 17:45 BST.
Lincolnshire Police said a man continued to racially abuse the young woman as he left, also threatening to damage the store.
The force has issued an image of a man they want to trace.
Wearing a face covering is now compulsory in shops, supermarkets and while ordering takeaways in England. The rule has been in force since 24 July.
