I ordered about 200 dollars worth of food for takeout for me and my family today.
Went to go pick it up and the hostess told me I needed to wear a mask. Texas has lifted the order but individual businesses can still require them. I told her I don't have one and I'm only picking up a to go order. She says I need a mask so I tell her "nah I'm good, just cancel my order for xxxx". I walk out and start driving towards a more based restaurant. Get a phone call from manager who asks if I could come back and they would bring my food out to me. Told her no, I'm not going back I already ordered from another restaurant. She says "you ordered the food, we made it, you need to come pay for it". I just laugh and say no thanks. Enjoy my food and margaritas restaurant staff, hopefully it comes out of your boss's pocket.
Just wanted to share
The underlying cause is allowing the staff to try and enforce the policy that upper management knows will cause a problem.
The 17 year old twat at the front register is the last person who should be trying to play mask-cop. Send out the owner or the corporate manager and have them turn customers away and see how long it lasts.
I agree with and also would that some in management and ownership are really disconnected. The owner of the small business I work at was going to require employees to wear masks and was genuinely surprised how much push back he got.
