Actually we never went in because they had a sign on the door that said Masks were Required.
This restaurant only recently opened in my small town in rural county. They only serve breakfasts on Saturday am. We were the only car in their lot other than their workers. Was the food ok? I wondered. How come no one else was there?
We noted the open sign and walked up to the door. When we saw the sign that masks were required we walked away.
One of the workers or the owner opened the door and ran out to say we are open. We said yes we knew and that you mandate masks so we will be going elsewhere.
They just lost a customer and some revenue they probably needed since there were no other customers in their restaurant. Knowing this rural conservative town.. they probably have lost a ton of other customers here, too. People here in general don't want to wear the masks.
I suspect they won't last the year.
I agree with you. I am saddened that it must be this way. Either businesses stand up against this tyranny or they don't deserve to be in business. Small businesses should already know that the Cabal wants to eliminate small businesses so that international Big Top companies rule everything. This is their plan.
They need to stand with us or perish.
Except in OP's case, there is no tyranny (conservative rural area), so this was a case of people responding to their own fear and thinking they could impose same on others. Your analysis requires a higher level of thinking, these business owners haven't gotten there, and they're not alone.
Not sure what you mean here.
RE: No tyranny in rural area. No mask mandates, no lockdowns. Except for some mask wearers for several months and the stupid plexiglass barriers, it's always been pretty much business as usual, at least in the rural area where I live.
