sure, why not? a lot of people aren't even wearing masks, so it doesn't matter

I used my helmet a few times as instead of a mask. Don't forget that signs in most cases say something "face-covering is required".
In fact, I used it yesterday in Service Ontario. They were ok with it.

In some municipalities, I doubt a helmet meets the legal requirement as a face shield definitely doesn't. That being said, for a quick store visit, you are probably maintaining distance anyway so I think you'd need someone with a real need to hand out tickets to get one.
Ontario has a definition of what is/isn't a facemask : https://www.ontario.ca/page/face-coverings-and-face-masks#section-1
I've gone into the gas station visor down a few times and haven't had any issue. I'd guess as long as you are making some attempt to follow the rules nobody will bug you. Just don't try to make it a human rights issue if someone says otherwise. I keep a mask stuffed in my jacket just in case.
- fit securely to the head with ties or ear loops
- maintain their shape after washing and drying
- be made of at least two layers of tightly woven material (such as cotton or linen)
- be large enough to completely and comfortably cover the nose and mouth without gaping

Visor down is fine to go in and pay or pick up something inside. Dufferin-Guelph including Orangeville was the first municipality in Ontario to bring in mandatory mask use inside buildings. Many store employees wear plastic face shields instead of a mask, so a full coverage helmet with the visor down is actually better because there is less open area at the bottom. I've fuelled up a few times since the mandatory mask rule came into effect and have just flipped the visor down when entering. Never had a problem.

no issues but be quick, it gets really stuffy foggy and hot with 0 air flow.
Rebuke, word of the day.
I havent tried to go in places with helmet on because of 2 reasons
1- i run pretty darn hot in my helmet, so i sweat more
2- it doesnt follow the guidelines
3- mostly because i run pretty darn hot in my helmet, and i sweat a lot

allowed... I did it and no one cared.. I also have a nose guard or w/e you call it to block out the vapour from misting up my visor... and I suppose people saw that and were ok..
