Sign at Michigan shop warns masked customers of armed employees. 'Lighten up,' owner says.

KENTWOOD, Mich. — A sign at the entrance of a metal-cutting shop in Kentwood, a suburb of Grand Rapids, asks customers to “remove your mask or raise both hands high” to avoid being mistaken as a robber.

The sign in front of Tubergen Cutting Tools Inc. reads “In responce [sic] to Gretch, attention: This facility is protected by armed employees for your safety! Remove your mask or raise both hands high and keep um up! Don’t be mistaken as a robber! Thank you, management. Open carry still welcome.”

The sign is in response to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s executive order mandating businesses to turn away customers who don’t wear facemasks, which went into effect on Monday, July 13. Health experts believe facemasks are an effective way at slowing the spread of COVID-19, the sickness caused by the coronavirus.

Andy Tubergen, owner of Tubergen Cutting Tools said the sign is meant as a joke, and customers are welcome to wear masks in the shop.

Just ask to see the manager and cough all over him.

She has an auto-immune disease, her parents both have diabetes, her father also has heart issues and her mother is a cancer survivor. They don't find anything funny about the reason to wear a mask.
