I live in La Mirada and I just returned from having lunch at a new place called Board and Brew - La Habra. The salad and sandwich were great and the choice of brews phenomenal. Great new lunch place.
As I walked in, I noticed there were not any warning signs to wear the mask or social distance, so I didn't. The staff had masks and patrons wore masks until eating, but, I wore no mask during my entire visit. No one said a thing.
Huh? I have not heard of any change in mask policy for SoCal... So what gives?
Next stop was Smart and Final. I noticed they had removed the warning signs that have been up front and in my face for over a year.
They were one of the first stores to yell at me when I entered sans mask.
I did my shopping mask-less. Patrons and employees all had masks on. Again, no one said anything about my mask-less face. After checkout I asked the cashier about the missing signs. She said, “Oh, we can't tell you to wear masks, so I guess you don't have to wear one.”
Something has changed! No signs and no managers bothering you. Yet, all the patrons continued the mask protocol. WAKE UP sheep - enforcement is over!
It is time for everyone to Stop wearing masks
My area in Inland Empire is basically back to normal already, at least private owned businesses. Went to my favorite steak house last weekend and no staff were even wearing masks. Also the bars have been open full capacity indoors since November. Thankfully we have had the cooperation of the San Bernardino County health and Sherriff departments after the first shut down.
