The manager at Mission BBQ made me put on a mask.
? DEM PANIC ?
They had no problem accepting my cash payment, and I'm allowed to take my mask off when I eat.
But if I walk in not wearing a mask. I get yelled at.
They just lost another customer.
Yes, that means they are cowards. They could stand with liberty, or bow to authoritarianism - and they have chosen the latter. To say that the authoritarianism promises to be annoying is no valid excuse for capitulating to it. In this choice, they were asked: do you want communist business or American business? They answered 'communist'. So be it.
