The owner sent a waitress over to tell them they had take their masks off or leave. Parents said they have an immune compromised young child at home. Owner didn't care. They left and it ruined their rare night out.

That's funny, I could've sworn the anti-mask crowd always say it's about people being able to make their own choices.

Why the fuck would you not do any research on where you're eating when you have a child with cystic fibrosis at home in the middle of a fucking pandemic. Jesus Christ like ... get takeout and go sit at a park or shit, I don't know, book a hotel room for the night.

That being said, fuck that restaurant and honestly fuck Texas with its backward ass inhumane politics
Apparently the anti-mask policy isn't stated on the door of the restaurant and I have a feeling they wouldn't put it on their website

Why the fuck should "am I allowed to wear a mask here" be something you ever need to check "in the middle of a fucking pandemic"? That's the problem here.

It shouldn't be, but they're in Texas, seems like the obvious check to make.

they support people making their own choices, sure, as long as those people make the right choice. conservatives are often massive hypocrites and usually lack any self awareness. just look at this:

About 30 minutes in, our waitress comes over and she sits down next to me and she's like, 'Hey, so our manager is over there in the kitchen, and he is not as nice as I am so I came over here to talk to you and unfortunately, this is a political thing, but our manager does not believe in the mask. He's tired of being told what to do by, you know, politics in the country, and so you're going to need to take the mask off,

yes, you read that right. the owner is sick of politics telling him what to do, so his solution is to use his personal politics to tell others what to do instead. and, somehow, that man's mind is able to accept those two thoughts simultaneously. the double-think is so real.

Eh, it's a shitty situation, but there's nothing wrong here, at least legally. Private businesses can deny people entry based on clothing, which a mask definitely constitutes.

Owner is dumb as fuck. Even if you dont believe in masks it affects you in no way if someone else decides to wear one.

As much as Republicans cry about freedom they spend a lot of time worried about what everyone else is doing.

Not to give the restaurant a pass because that owner is a lowlife, but I don't know that I'd ever take my immunocompromised 4-month old into any large gathering space with people.

You have to live life. Im at the point in life where I rarely go out anymore but to never go out and have fun isnt good for the psyche IMO.

Ok good.

CNN might have since updated the story but when I read it initially a few hours ago, it sounded like the whole family was up in the restaurant.

Not really. If my kid had such an ailment, I'd be extremely sensitive as to where I spend my time and what I might potentially bring back to them.

And they were trying to wear masks and do that. Painting anyone but the restaurant as the bad guys here is dumb

Couple shouldn't be eating out in a restaurant in the first place. The mask isn't going to anything because you need to take your mask off to eat and drink.

I'm pro mask, but they're utterly useless in bars and restaurants. If you go to one to eat, fully expect to inhale a bunch of people's unmasked air as they down their food.

Okay, it's legal. So what? That doesn't change that it's an utter dick move. Hate to break it to you, but "legal" and "moral" are two very, very different things.

My body, my choice. I'm not getting vaccinated or wearing a mask.

Okay.

My body my choice, I choose to wear a mask and protect myself and others.

No you can't do that.

Make abortion illegal.

This is fine.

I want to protect my baby from illness.

No that's not okay.

Basically the majority of the right mentality with people like this. Just one hypocritical thing after another. Childish and ridiculous.
