In a restaurant, the state and local governments require certain temperatures for dishwater and

coolers.

They set limits for how long food can be kept on a "warming table" and how often the premises must be inspected or treated for insects or mice.

They require hairnets or other head coverings for kitchen personnel and prohibit underaged workers.

They tell the owners what days they can be open and at what hour they must close.

They do all these things to guard the health and safety of the public.

But, somehow, no government authority can find the authority to REQUIRE restaurant employees or patrons to wear a mask to prevent the spread of covid.

That's what they're against!

Being hypocritical and/or totally lacking in intellectual integrity is a feature, not a bug. After all, their being thusly 'drives the Libtardz crazy!!11!'

It's a thought-process and mindset of utter simpletons.

mouth, sole side out is best"

Sign on the front of my restaurant, if I had a restaurant.

Masks are good manners and a courtesy to others at a minimum in these times.

If the whiners had been cooperative, the situation would not be so dire.

Instead political leaders marketed on MSM sickness and death. Supposed religious leaders doubled down on the evil from their pulpits.

Why don't the maskholes object to the government's infringement on their freedom to let the boys swing free?

Climate change, pandemics, biodiversity loss, peak oil, etc.

Dogs are the same way.

But a guy without pants?!? Or a caravan?!? WOOF WOOF!!!

entry that reads "NO SHIRT,NO SHOES, NO SERVICE". That makes it easy to insert the
words "NO MASK" anywhere at the beginning or the middle of that statement.

But then changing the sign is much easier than getting the attention of the freedumb loving
anti-maskers who are usually the same as the anti-vaxxers.

Apparently there was a time when they were needed, but not in quite a while.

Where I am, Santa Fe, NM, every place I go into has signs about mask wearing, and about half of those signs point out you must cover nose and mouth.

A bar or restaurant run by an anti-masker, I won't eat there. I mean after we get through this pandemic. I know two locally. They won't be seeing me again. That also includes if I see employees I know to have blown off the precautions. I can't trust them to follow any health department regulations.

I believe they've now issued more than $4 million in COVID-related fines.

"Since the start of the coronavirus pandemic through Dec. 3, the U.S. Department of Labor's (DOL) Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued citations arising from 263 inspections for violations relating to the coronavirus, resulting in proposed penalties of more than $3.5 million, the DOL said in a Dec. 11 press release.

Inspections have led the agency to cite employers for failures to:

Implement a written respiratory protection program..."

Same mindset as militias, and all the rest of those godforsaken nightmares we see on the news. Somehow, masks are the next step towards socialist mind control. Idiots.
