A social media video is attracting attention over a Northern California cafe’s controversial promotion that encourages customers to throw away their masks.

In mid-March, Fiddleheads Cafe in Mendocino prominently posted a sign in the window of its cafe reading, "Throw your mask(s) in our trash bin and receive 50% off your order."

A TikTok video posted of the flyer last week has taken off on social media, reaching at least 39,000 likes and receiving almost 1,700 comments since its posting; animosity toward the cafe has also spilled over onto Yelp, as users have begun trashing the cafe for its new promotion, leading the review site to post its “Unusual Activity Alert” warning usually saved for businesses under a negative spotlight from a news report or, in this case, social media.

But according to Ted Williams, 5th District Supervisor of Mendocino County, there’s not much the government can do about the promotion.

3. going out of business sale...

let them reduce their clientele and cut their income.
Seems like a failing strategy to me.

4. If I lived there, I would never eat at that restaurant.

I would have to wonder what other health and safety rules they are not enforcing.

In front of the order station.

Then pulls out daily wear mask and replaces it on face.
