Florida restaurant denies service to those wearing masks​

CAPE CORAL, Fla. (WFLA) — A restaurant in Florida drew controversy after issuing a message to prospective diners: if you wear a mask, you will not be served.

NBC affiliate WBBH reported that the owners of the Crisp Creperie in Cape Coral put a sign telling people to remove their masks before they enter the business.

“We believe they don’t do any good so we don’t want them here,” owner Debbie Hernandez said.

The owners said that masks can be dirty and affect their mental health. As such, they don’t want to see people wearing them.

“We are also affected psychologically by having to look at somebody with their mask on,” Debi Hernandez told WBBH.

Some of the customers said they would not support a business with such a policy.

“I personally think it’s wrong that they are discriminating against people,” Cape Coral resident Jody Matthews said.

But the Hernandezes said that if you don’t like the mask policy, find your food somewhere else.

“There are other places to go eat,” owner Jack Hernandez said. “They don’t have to keep choosing this place.”

Other customers said they don’t care, saying that its the Hernandezes’ right to deny service as a private busines.

For now, the sign stays, even though it’s earned the restaurant some negative reviews.

Talk about turnabout being fair play.

Florida is the worst state in the country. So many whackos out there.

That's a good start. I wouldn't even let any vaccinated people in.

I love all those articles of anti vaxxers begging for vaccine on their deathbeds and saying how dumb they were for not getting the shot. Especially the right wing radio hosts that all died. They are great bedtime reads for kids.

I agree, I also like to read them every once in a while.

Omicron has a new favorite restaurant.

I was wondering what difference this would make anyway. If there really is a horrible pandemic in the world right now, why would anyone take a needless risk and go to a restaurant?

Don't those people eating at a restaurant take a huge risk when they remove their mask so they can eat? What if the virus attacks them while they're eating? Really, why take the risk when they can safely eat at home?

To me it looks like no one really believes in the existence of a virus, or even if they do, they don't think it's anything too serious and the mask wearing is just virtue signalling

People can't stay longer at home due to their social life. These people are selfish.
