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.
Driving through a SoCal small town in a rural area a few months ago. Stopped by a tiny handmade candy store to look around and maybe buy some candy to support a local small business. We walked inside maskless and there were only three of us inside the store including the owner.
The owner asked us if we had masks. We said no. She said you have to wear masks and started searching for disposable masks to give us to wear. We said no thank you, we'll just go, and walked out.
No. Such a powerful two-letter word that people aren't able to use. Thank you for sharing your story!
