The whole thing.
If their child is immunocompromised, why the hell are they bringing him to a restaurant that won't allow masks, anyhow? Geez.
They're afraid of their own germs but not the rest of the restaurant?????
ETA: I misread the article and thought they brought the child WITH them to the restaurant. It wasn't immediately clear to me that wasn't the case in the blurb above. SO it does change my perspective and the restaurant owner is the only one at fault!

I don't disagree, but it would be just as outrageous had they been wearing masks just to be safe. NT

I was going to write the same thing, but I didn't see in the article where the infant was with them

Even more obvious question... How, exactly, did they plan to eat while wearing a mask?
