"We can either exist in fear, and hope to not die, or we can live knowing eventually we're all going to die," owner Joe Bodge said.
Joe Bodge and Dorene Heselton closed Roselynn Homemade Ice Cream Breakfast and Lunch in Epping, New Hampshire, on Sunday. A sign on their door now reads,"What Happened to Live Free or Die." "I have decided, and I'll be honest with you, the sheer volume of my customers and people supporting me believe the same thing — we can either exist in fear, and hope to not die, or we can live knowing eventually we're all going to die," Bodge told NBC News on Thursday.Bodge and Heselton said a customer reported them to the state for not wearing masks and not requiring their customers to wear masks.
"I said, 'Ma'am, as a matter of fact, you are correct.' And there was a pause, and she said, 'So you're not denying it?' And I said, 'We are mask-free here,'" Bodge said. The official told Bodge that they wouldn't need to investigate if he was readily admitting to not wearing masks at Roselynn, and that he would have until Monday to comply with the mandate or the state would pull the restaurant's license to operate, according to Bodge. Rather than abide by the mandate or have the state close their doors, Bodge and Heselton decided they'd close themselves down until they could reopen without masks.
So you would rather lose money then tell people to wear a mask WOW
Stupid is as stupid does. Forrest Gump
Good, we don't want or need a business that doesn't put its citizens first!
How silly of them.
Then they deserve to loose everything!! I own a business and work my butt off daily!! A florist doing loads of casket sprays for the dead!! Yes loads of Covid victims!!
Because they don’t care about employee and patrons ?
Sad
Welp!
Thanks DJT for politicizing masks.
Ok. See ya
Sorry, please wear your damn mask!
Go for it!!!
From the looks of it they don't have any Michelin stars I don't think anybody's going to miss them
Good now we have one less super spreader.
You just exposed your health cares - bye -bye!
Wow great capitalist. Oh wait.
Can’t feel sorry for them. It’s all about choices. 🤷🏼♀️
Watch , ' Totally Under Control ' Airs on Hulu ..I believe it's highly critical to watch this and share this documentary with anyone and everyone before election day .
Imagine being this painfully ignorant
Fine! They have made it clear that they are tough, patriotic, imbeciles who wouldn't hesitate to sell you Orange Pus covered food.
Bye bye assholes. 👋
Pretty sure there is another restaurant owner willing to step up and apply the 😷 and take their customers!
Ba-bye.
Lmao they think they are martyrs but in reality they are just morons.
Another whiny little baby.
How dumb. Typical Trump cult mentality.
Goodbye
This is self sabotage... I can't have my way so I'll burn it to the ground...business lessons from Idiot Univ?
Hmmmm... Oh my lil bb tings from there 🤩🤩🤩🤩 cute lil astronaut film legend to be... Yummm
I suffer from anxiety but my anxiety triggers with the thought of catching the virus... i'd rather be safe than sorry... after all, you can breath just fine in masks. But to each their own i guess...
How stupid.
Live free or die. It’s good to have a choice . No masks no business!
A mask vs starving?
I’ve decided to cut off my feet instead of abiding by the no shoes no service restrictions.
Fool. Leave. Good riddance.
NH just turned red with covid-- too late --
Bye 🧡
Either that or they are past peak foliage.
Good.
Stupid!
So they are lazy and stupid. No doubt they will be reaching out to the government for a handout. Shameful.
REALLY HUGE COVIDIOTS
Yak about cutting your nose off to spite your face 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
With Trump flags flying outside. You really think the orange douche canoe gives two fucks about them? Nope!
Cutting off their nose to spite their face? Or already going under and just needed someone to blame?
Bye Felicia
I just can't understand why people won't wear a mask to help defeat this virus. At 79, with health issues, I continue to be amazed at those who would put me in danger just because they support Mr. Trump. What a crazy world we all live in today.
Their choice. Wearing a mask in public shouldn’t be.
Maybe they had already financial troubles and they blame on it, is sad that people can be so irrational, do we stop working because be have to use seat belts, do we stop working because we are saving lives, maybe good that they close if they do not care about other people
Dems are wanting to over control your life! Wake up people!! You, the people, are not stupid!!!
They sound like utter fools to me. Every food service business has to comply with state health regulations, which might include washing hands, keeping food at certain temperatures, hairnets, and maintaining vermin free premises. Masks are no different. Glad they closed.
AS the Great American Philosopher, Forest Gump, said 'stupid is as stupid does'.
Who thinks Bitcoin is going to get a huge weekend Pump? All the nerds 🤓 are getting 💰 rich and telling their buddies 'I told you so!!!' The PayPal adoption is cranking it. GO BITCOIN!!
Their restaurant; their choice to not earn a living safely I guess?
Wonder what other regulations and protections they didn’t want to do to protect their customers 🤔 I wouldn’t wanna eat there anyways!!
buh bye
Wow this makes a whole lot of sense 🤦♂️
bye
This is not a story about amendment rights. If u care for your fellow human beings you wear a mask so YOU won’t infect them. I’m sorry u have anxiety and great news for u that you can afford to close.
Live free or die. True NH citizen right there. Not lib from Mass fleeing high taxes. Good for them
And then go on welfare for me to support
Stupid people
Idiot! CutYourNoseOffDespiteYourFace
Dumb .
I hope they aren’t counting on that $1200 stimulus check to keep from starving ...
Oh well
That’s called throwing a fit. Like a child. Who doesn’t know right from wrong. As well as looking for a handout. It’s called something..... I can’t quite put my finger on it. 🤔🤦🏻♂️
So stubborn!
Good!!!
Sounds like a cover story. No idea how that fire started! Beats me!
Definitely their choice, and probably better overall for their community to not have a virus-pod in their area.
The truth is they really just didn't want to wash their hands after using the restroom. 'We just can't abide by people trying to tell us how to dodo our business'
So hoping they also forgo seatbelts,don’t care if people drink and drive, eat tainted food, don’t go to the doctor or take medications. Turning masks into a “live free or die” issue is asinine
Good one less SuperSpreader & ignorant business owner! 😉 Now, if we could only get tRump to follow them.. maybe we'd turn the corner & get a grip on this Global Pandemic? 🤔
Ok? 🤷🏻♀️
Going broke to own the libs. magacult
How many other public health regs have they been disregarding?
This is stupidity at its most sublime.
Good riddance.
Nutty!!
It must have served terrible food and nobody eats there.
Shouldn't we have a long list by now of covidiots who've sacrificed their (& immediate family) ability to access healthcare for coronavirus? Anyone can be in the H/C access club. Admission is simple - wear a mask, obey public health laws. Bodge and Heselton are out. fairplay
Northern Hicks
Okay...
Temporality so they didn’t get fined. More like a giant temper tantrum then an actual news story
Well, that's his choice.
These people do not accurately reflect the attitudes of most NH residents. IMHO Not wearing a mask in a pandemic is bat shit crazy and an offense to the citizenry. I am sorry you got suckered by the trump disinformation campaign but fear foes not supersede science
So basically, the owners of a New Hampshire restaurant have decided to close their doors rather than abide by a Health Code. Probably shouldn’t be open then.
That’s their own choice. I wish them well in their next adventure or if they’re retiring.
They don’t deserve to be open.. they obviously don’t care about their customers
Why a martyr. Oh well. Boo friggin hoo.
not exactly news.
I have anxiety and have done 12 hour shifts in full PPE... there is no illness that prevents you from wearing a fucking mask
New New Hampshire: Live free AND die
Imagine being this proud of being this dumb
Bet he hates washing his hands & wiping his behind too. It is sooo unconstitutional! Freedumb 🇺🇸
That’s their choice.
Good let me have their phone number I could buy it for 10 cents on the dollar and I will have people wear masks
Well, if they can’t comply with a simple mask mandate they probably weren’t complying with food health standards anyway, so it’s better they closed up!
🤷🏻♀️
Sounds like a good plan.
This is what happens when the owner is about to retire and is sick of dealing with libtards.
TRANSLATION: the restaurant was a failing business about to close anyway. One last chance to be relevant.
Or you could have just worn masks and made a bunch of money - and a bunch of kids happy. Something else is up with this story....
Cult stupidity at its finest.
My guess - they were going out of business, so they blame it on the mask mandate.
Well, pride goes before the fall. Such a stupid hill to die on. Some Americans are disgraceful. Who knew so many of us were so damn stupid?
Good riddance
I don’t live in fear but carry a gun. Ok. Got it
Ok
Not sure why this is even a story.
Good riddance. Either way people will be safer. Doesn’t fear anything, but can’t wear a mask bc of anxiety.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face 🙄
Does Herman Cain prefer a cone or cup?
It’s their choice so no sympathy from anyone. Stupid Trump supporter I bet.
How soon do they start a go fund me account to help the owner?
Demonstrating, once again, the real plague is ignorance.
He suffers from anxiety when masked. So do I. I’m 65. I saw and touched my 87-year-old parents last in January. I figure next time they’ll be cold, in boxes. So spare me the anxiety bullshit, pal. PS—NH is STACKED with excellent eats, all over the place. They won’t be missed.
vote
Really?
the level of stupid in this country has reached severe. COVIDIOTS DomesticTerrorists
Self own is a new one
If I had to guess, they were already struggling financially, and now they’re pulling this stunt to garner attention.
Breaking: Local nose separates from face in bid to own the libs 🤦🏻♀️
SMH
Good 👍👏👏👏
So be it then
I mean it is new Hampshire
Bye
They probably also didn't make their employees wash their hands or follow health department food safe practices. Nasty place.
People don’t have to wear them while eating, so they destroyed their business based on people walking in?
Foolish
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. Real intelligence went with this decision.
What a ridiculous reaction...
Blaming masks instead of just admitting they could not afford to reopen is just GOP CRUEL.
They are probably losing their business, so they have to make a stupid excuses.
Really Dumb.
You mean unconstitutional tyranny.
So it’s okay if you cause someone to die?
That’s probably safer for the community in the long run.
Good. Bye.
morons
That is their decision!
Good riddance. We don’t need the Coronavirus Cafe.
Live free or Die.
More idiots
That’s about as smart as selling your car because you don’t want to wear a seatbelt!
Well that’s too bad. Their right to sell but not their right to infect others.
these folks has no common sense at all.
Wow. Sucks to be them.
Selfishness, that's it. Sure, we are all going to die, but these people are willing to risk not just their lives but every single person they come in contact with as well, and well, that makes you a premeditated murderer in my book.
Ah the old conservative victim card, it never disappoints.
well if they must step on their own pee-pee step lively
Ok. Bye
I feel like your headline needs to have the word 'IDIOTS' inserted somewhere.
They did their employees and customers a favor. COVIDIOTS WearAMask
Good. who needs them. besides, i'm sure there was another reason and they are just crybabies using the mask mandate as an excuse. their food probably sucked
Idiots
Dying of whiteness
Well they are the Live Free or Die State! Good Lord! Wear a damn mask!
So many stupid people who don’t appreciate their good fortune.
That’s too bad. Their ice cream/ breakfast/ lunch brand sounded like a sure fire success story. Focused. Unique. Could have been a chain.
I hope he loses his business. He deserves to lose it.
I live in NH, and because the cases are so low it is hard to convince people that there is a threat. It’s frustrating, esp when the neighbors refuse to wear a mask around my 90 year old father when he walks around the block. Dad tries you keep his distance, but they don’t care
'I don't live in fear because I open carry..' at the same time 'I get a anxiety when I wear a mask.' LMAO!
Best option anyway 😡🖕🏻
A mask is not a sign of fear. A mask is a sign of caution.
The focus on deaths by anti-maskers is mind boggling
Why is this news? If they want to do this to their income then so be it.
Bye bye
They sound smart....
Dying isn't the worst thing that can happen as you can live with debilitating organ damage for the rest of your life.
Good
Buh bye now 👋
Sweet peach 🍑 bitcoin is hovering just under 13k... All the technical analysts think we are going to get a weekend pump to 14k!!! Invest, my friends! After the PayPal/Venmo adaptation, media buzz 🐝, BITCOIN is a rocket 🚀!!!
The American ‘flu’ pandemic of 1918-20 killed 675,000 Americans and 50M worldwide.
Many other places have already filed for bankruptcy
So what.
They refuse to protect their staff & customers so bye 👋🏼
I bet they don't wear helmets or seatbelts, either. Antivaxxers?
Sweet lady Bitcoin! She is kill-ing-it! I love the Bitcoin supporters too. 'Sophisticated intellectuals' and 'Futurists' were two of my favorite descriptions! Let's go BITCOIN! 🔥
What ignorant, arrogant Bastards, are they living under a rock, the losers are themselves, defiance will get them nowhere in a pandemic, they will pay the price big time. It’s nothing to wear a mask nowadays, the whole world is doing it. Cannot get my head around their thinking.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This guy is a walking talking contradiction. 'We're all going to die and we need to just embrace that. Oh, I carry a gun in case anyone attacks me, I don't want to die.' Ummmmm.....what? TheyGotConned
Why don't you put a sign says 'closed permanently.' This virus is not going to go away anytime soon because people like you are too special to follow rules.
Hope closes for good
Technically, they're abiding. They choose not to enforce it, so rather than break the law, they closed down. Their loss.
Everybody wins!
That is their choice. That's why this is called America.
Going bankrupt to own the libs!
I’d be interested to see how crap their menu is? Also their last hygiene report... because I bet it wasn’t just the masks that helped them decide to close...
well alright then.
So Joe Bodge has anxiety when he wears a mask, but has no fear of dying from Covid because everyone dies sooner or later. And he also open carries a gun because he is afraid of people attacking him. Hmmmm. I think this guy needs a mental health checkup.
Because wearing a mask for the safety of others is just asking too much.
I don't care if they close their business. Wearing a mask is not a political statement. It reflects your IQ. Apparently, those restaurant owners have a very low IQ.
Makes you wonder what other regulations they thought were ridiculous. Staff washing hands? Hairnets for cooks? Washing fruits and vegetables? Leaving meat out at room temperature? Sanitizing food preparation surfaces?
There are some really dumb people in this country.
Fake Headline: The restaurant was closing anyway 🛑
Well that's dumb.
Roselynn Food Shack used freshly caught puddle fish for chowders, breakfast omelets, gravies 👌 they will be missed.🇺🇸 Live Free or Die 🇺🇸
Good. If you can’t save lives and wear masks, close your doors. You won’t be missed.
Idiot
Well ... they're free to hurry along their inevitable demise - world will be a safer place without their heedless, callous reckless disregard for the lives of others. COVIDIOTS COVID19 COVID
Makes you wonder what other regulations they thought were ridiculous. Washing hands? Leaving meat out at room temp? Hairnets for cooks? Chicken stored above veg? Blech.
More like Live free AND die, amirite?!
How ridiculous
So far all commenters have torn the owner of this N.H. restaurant a new hat or whatever....loved it!!
Good for the people of the town!!
Bye Felicia
Translation: “I’m ok with making the decision for others as to whether they’ll live or die.” “ ...we can either exist in fear, and hope to not die, or we can live knowing eventually we're all going to die,' Bodge told NBC News on Thursday.”
Nice to see that my douchebag ex-boyfriend’s home state is continuing to live up to my expectations of it
Good riddance.
Naa, they just wanted to fold up and get a handout instead. They want that tax write-off..
Oh well.
Retirement on their terms
As they should...
business geniuses.
Ok.
So long.
Good riddance.
Don't wish anyone ill. Wonder if this guy is planning on going to trump's New Hampshire Superspreader?
for God's sake generations have gone to war and these idiots can't put a stupid mask on for a few more months
Enjoy
Fine but they are part of a big problem with people that don’t want to mask up.
'In an effort to fight an order designed to protect the public, a restaurant closes. Protecting the public'
Cannot roll eyes far enough
Covidiots
These dudes do not abide.
How stupid can they be?
Well OF COURSE we're all eventually gonna die or suffer illness, but I don't particularly want to raise the risk of it happening soon to me or anyone I care about by going out to a frigging restaurant. The downside of preparing my own meals is having to do the dishes too.
They should've just stayed open and defied the unconstitutional mandate. I'm sure they could get armed security ready to fight against this tyrannical government.
Good for them. Wearing face diapers is anti American. Science tells us that they are not only useless, but dangerous to your health. TRUMP 2020!
shooting themselves in the foot
Is that a cemetery in their backyard? Too perfect.
They were probably going out of business anyway and are just trying to make a statement. Don’t be a maskhole
Government encroachment has no place in a free society. If you don't like it, don't go.
Ready to die yet carries a weapon to protect his life. All of a sudden he's concerned ? 😏
It's a free world still. So...
Surely they are fed up with the lie about the pseudo pandemic that only idiot people believe, I mean those on the left or Marxists or atheists, it does not matter, they are all the filth that stinks
Bye
Own the libs by tanking your business!!
Logic 100
Serving burgers and virus to all comers.
Now where am I gonna eat?
Great. If you feel like you can’t or won’t wear a mask to protect those you come in contact with, have the the courtesy to shut your doors before you’re forced too. Just bc you don’t want to believe what is, doesn’t make it untrue. There are no alternative facts.
they want to file bankruptcy. it’s a trump univ skill.
Good, the food probably sucks and it’s New Hampshire so no one cares about the stupid owners. Really ridiculous to know people will shut their business so they don’t have to wear a mask.. idiots
Ignorant people all over America!
Close.
Absolute nonsense....... Bye Felicia 😒
These people are what some call Far far far right
That's a choice.
Good!
That’s the beauty of loving in the USA.. You have a choice. I don’t agree with it, looks like you have a lovely area outside to have the food served!
Sheesh. Close then. All are restaurants have been open since June with mask mandate. All still thriving. Curb side was available March to June. Truth be told I think it’s because you’re tanking.
This called, 'shooting yourself in the foot' or 'cutting your nose off to spite your face'. I call it idiocy in the fact, you deny yourself an income because of a mask So nobody is hurt in this but your bottom line.
Stupid people
Why would you do that unless you were thinking of closing anyway?
Incredible how selfish some can be. Imagine if during the London blitz people refused to blackout lit windows......
China joe corruption
Grownups grownup-ing.
Sadly had Trump acted in January, all of these small businesses wouldn’t be struggling now.
Bye
Love free or die, guess they chose the die part- morons
Probably about to lose the restaurant anyway and decided to make a statement claiming the masks.
That speaks volumes about their lousy business practices and it’s just an excuse they are using!
Ok, they probably didn’t follow other regulations like preventing insect infestation , from the health department either and the community is probably safer.
Only smart thing the’ve done
Good I hope your doors close forever.
Karma here, the owner and family are next on the list of morons to contract COVID19, let’s s see if his anxiety prevents him from wearing an Oxygen mask
Fools
Their choice
Kind of like the store owner who refused to sell Nike’s stuff after they released Colin Kaepernick’s jersey and ad. Didn’t take him long to say he made a huge mistake. All while going out of business. Never to be heard from again 😂
It’s sad; however, this is a different time in our lives and for a while we have to protect ourselves and others with masks. Only if we were more aggressive upfront.
Cutting off their nose to spite their face!
Let them suffer the consequences of their decision!
I wouldn’t want to eat in a restaurant where all the staff work without a mask.
OK
Bye!
All because of a mask mandate?
So be it. WearAMask
And that’s their choice. Meanwhile it’s one less “gathering place” for people who just don’t seem to care about anyone else’s, let alone their own, physical health. And without our health we have nothing. It’s going to be a long winter.
It's their choice.
By looking at this photo, I can tell that kitchen is friggin filthy.
I suffer from anxiety and I wear a friggin mask daily for my job, please!
Live Free or Die motherfuckers.
God Himself gave us the label of a stiff necked people, in the 32nd chapter of Exodus. The meaning since then has involved antagonism, stubbornness, argumentative, and going into minute detail in order to distinguish our point of view from others.
And we wonder why people in other countries are creating YouTube videos laughing at us/US. We have to suffer because 45 is incapable of having healthy relationships/friendships/allies.
Live free or die
I live in NH near this place and I can say this is the Exception. Most businesses and people have no issues with masks here. This is purely a political ploy for a struggling business that no one wants to go to.
People were really stupid about wearing seatbelts at first as well. They just have to bitch about being made to do something, even if it's the right thing to do. I go into WalMart, Home Depot, grocery stores - EVERYONE is wearing a mask and it doesn't hurt them a bit.
Good. There are way too many restaurants that every Tom, Dick and Harry wants to be a part of because they think its cool to own one, with zero experience. Let nature take its course and the serious ones prevail.
American arrogance & selfishness at the end of the day everyone is free to make a fool of themselves
Either way - they’re doing what America needs them to do 🤣👏👏Their choice to suffer a loss in income
Good
shuts down their business to own the libs 🤡 hasanthehun
Bye
Stupid is as stupid does
That’s on them
Well I call bullshit. Either they were going under or they were closing anyway or their just idiots.
There this old adage about babies and bath water...
Always happy to say goodbye to ignorance
Fine by me.
Good riddance.
bye felicia
✌🏻
You chose to close not for economic reason, rather bc you chose not to abide by a mask mandate to protect/save lives. You’ve chosen to make your employees, families suffer affects of no job; increasing food lines, unemployment. Bet you’ll choose to take sml business bailout $.
Smart they survived one plague, why rush it
Stupid is as stupid does
Ok
I really don't care.
Snowflake behavior... disguised as patriotism! 😂😆🤣😂🤣😂😆😂🤣😂and he has anxiety from mask, yet wears one in grocery stores...caucasoids are filled with privilege!
Cutting off your nose to spite your face, is the perfect expression for this restaurant owner!
So rather than wear a mask, just choose to close your business and this will make it all better? Brilliant!
So be it!
The grift begins. He'll start a go fund me, the magats will donate, he'll be a millionaire by Christmas 😑
😷🖕
That is a personal decision not a business decision! It is an excuse to close their doors
Must be a trump supporter
I mean, of you're willing to give up your livelihood because you won't wear a mask then I guess you deserve whatever comes to you
That is their right! When this virus is over in 2022 I hope that they never open up again.
Does this person still don't understand it's not just themselves about living in fear and that it's also protecting someone else so they don't have to die? Ugh, get it together people!
Boy that’ll really show the libs 🤔
Ridiculous.
Too bad for him maybe he should do like Ickyanka said and find something new. Yes we are all going to die some day but it doesn't have to be from Covid. MaskItOrCasket
Don't you usually close off season?
Why do we give people/businesses like this air time? Let’s use the time and space to celebrate those businesses that have gone above and beyond to keep their business open in these uncertain times in addition to taking care and protecting staff, customers and the community.
That sounds like a sound business decision. Must work for Trump.
If people don’t figure out that if we don’t wear masks we won’t have an economy than they close down!
A grand puffery gesture. He'll be open in a month with masks bc it's easier wearing a mask than it is missing mortgage payments. I suspect if he wasn't requiring masks in his restaurant, his business was way down anyway. PR stunt.
Good
Good
Dumb ass woodchucks....
Whatever. 🙄 They'd rather shutdown than not kill people. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Good.
You showed them!
Live free AND die.
Their loss
A house in New Hampshire
Thank you for saving lives by shutting your doors until it’s safe not to wear mask. Your customers and everyone they will come in close contact with, thank you.
We’d rather close than to save lives says a lot about the owners.
Okay.
It is their loss !
They’ve changed the New Hampshire motto to “Live Mask Free and Die”.
Sashay away! Sell those appliances, because is time to retire
Wait, what’s in his ice cream & food that folks are calling him with death threats over closing his business 😮
No sympathy for their stupidity. All of this because of masks, think about your employees
Ok. See ya'.
Good for them! This mask shaming is utter bull. The CDC has lost its mind
So ?
Gotta love these people who have no sense of community, no sense of patriotism or love of neighbors. This isn't about fear, but about common sense. Wear a damn mask and stop making excuses. I have anxiety and asthma and wear a mask EVERY time I go anywhere. Easy peasy.
That's probably a good thing. If they don't care about people catching Covid and possibly dying while living in THEIR dream world instead of the reality the rest of us face, what about adherence to other safety standards?
Who cares? If they're too careless of others to use masks, we don't want them handling our food anyhow.
SCREW.....THEM.....
Am I supposed to feel bad for them?
That's okay everyone can go to another restaurant where they don't have to worry about health violations.
Good riddance
Awesome!! No super spreaders there. Good riddance
Buh-bye!
Another genius!
Selfish bastards
Childish tantrum!
I dont get it? Why? It is really no different than that of no shoes, no shirt no service. Just deal wearing the mask...
Good. Do something else where people can wear mask. Lives over money.
Good!
Awesome. Good riddance.
Their business...Their choice. They were probably already going to close if the decision to do so was that fast and easy to make. Cute place maybe someone will buy it and Make it a coffee shop.
ok SOOOO REALLY WHO CARES. WHY IS THIS NEWS!!!!!!
The place was terrible anyway, no loss.
That’ll show ‘em...
I don’t really care about fools like this.
Rather keep cockroaches in the kitchen than obey health and safety laws.
I will not patronage businesses that cannot care about the health of their patrons.
Good riddance.
CarolWh39009963 Not a good parenting tip. v💙ted 🇺🇸⚖️🗽🦠🩺
Bye Felicia!
Stupid is as stupid does
Good because if they think wearing a mask is that big of a deal, not sure what the they’ll sacrifice in those dishes they are serving up. Yes close doors and windows, bye sickos.
There are a stupid people everywhere. In Maryland, we handle it easily and care about each other. I don’t understand these fools who can’t handle the concept of minor sacrifices for public health.
Sir, I firmly believe that you are wrong. And that if you don't follow or help to control this virus it could kill a lot more people in the long run.
Way to own the Liberals! 😆
DNI said laptop is not part of Russian disinformation. Will Joe Biden deny that laptop the FBI has belongs to Hunter & emails pertaining to China & Ukraine are legitimate? If he won’t give an answer, why not?
Good. They should be out of business.
Stupid
In Dec 2019 FBI signed 2 pickup computer purported 2 B Hunter Biden’s from repair shop. Shop has Hunter’s signature 4 repair. When he never returned, after 90 days by contract, it became property of shop. News sources report they are investigating laptop for money laundering.
🤷🏻♀️
Good that they closed, better than being selfish irresponsible towards your customers and the community as a whole,
Furthermore I used to pay 3.95 for gloves now they are 16.95 a box. People complain when you raise prices but at this rate it is just you cannot afford it.
Good thanks for no longer being a superspreader
Will be interested in the follow up story when the owners surprisingly get COVID
K, bye 👋
You all you people don’t know what you are talking about. All restaurants already comply with local health department regulations. These additional regulations are not only more expensive but are very hard to sustain for a long period.
People have lost touch with reality. If they were on a sinking ship, would they refuse to put on a life vest? What is so freakin' hard wearing a piece of cloth on your face that could save your life & save the lives of the loved ones around you? And get us through this sooner!
Yep, we're all gonna die but that doesn't mean we won't protect ourselves from things that might kill us. I for one won't walk into a raging fire. I won't drive my car off a bridge. I won't put a gun to my head and pull the trigger just bcuz I gotta die sometime. But bye bye.
That’s an excuse. C’mon.
CarolWh39009963 Good riddance.
If I can wear a bra everyday since I’m 13 people can wear a friggin mask during a pandemic it’s not that hard this is getting more ridiculous everyday. WearADamnMask

This is what Dems want...sad
We are all going to die eventually but why rush the process?
All about choices.
Are they from Florida?
CarolWh39009963 Good. Food was probably gross too
So stupid. Hope they don’t complain about not having any money.
My guess is that they had already been losing money. This is just an excuse, not a reason.
Well done.
It’s a piece of cloth!!!! It’s a piece of cloth!!!! It doesn’t silence you, it doesn’t blind you, it’s a piece of cloth that prevents people from spreading a virus!! Wake up!! It just a mask! You anti maskers need to look yourself and the mirror.
I wonder if any car manufacturing companies wanted to close down when seat belts requirements became law... FFS GetAClue
BYE-BOY!
Good Riddance!
Bye-eee!!!!
Live free and die.
Amazing they were smart enough to stay in business in the first place
How to be terrible at running a business 101
Trumper
How TF you get anxious wearing a mask , it doesn’t cover your face. If anything the mask would have help anxiety since you are rebreathing CO2. (Like blowing in a paper bag to relieve anxiety) but ok carry on.
their choice.... we still live in America..... NEXT!
Yes
Goodbye and good riddens!
Ya but why force the issue ?
Regardless of your stance on masks - this owner should be praised for standing, respectfully for what he believes in. Why death threats?!
Bye
It’s a freaking ice cream shop. They should be thriving in this Covid environment
I’m a Vermonter and think your stupid!!! Our veterans have fought and died to protect us. An amazing sacrifice to die for us. To save lives and the American economy all we have to do is wear a mask. Sooo HARD!!!! Shit wake up and stop being selfish. It’s being Patriotic Masks
So...makes you wonder if they followed Health Dept rules...why wash your hands after going to the bathroom, why keep food at the proper temp, why abide by expiration dates? Live free and die...of food poisoning?
Cool. Bye.
look, a snowflake!
Good. They should be canceled.
losing revenue to own the libs, now that's dedication
Congrats to the owners for ‘taking a stand’ (as they call it) for their right to spread disease and encourage their customers to do the same. Covid is not the boss of them!
Own those libs!
Embodying 'Live Free or Die.'
Driving yourself into bankruptcy in order to 'own the Libs!' 🤔
I really don’t care
So has anxiety and carries guns in public. Ok... That sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Seriously? That’s like cutting off you’re nose to spite your face.
Boo-fucking-hoo
Well, it's smart to close the seating, but not becoming carry out is silly. You want a maskless section in your restaurant? During a pandemic? Enjoy opening the peeing section at the local pool then too.
To care more about profits, misplaced pride, is telling about this business. Public health must come before agreed.
I'm guessing they were Trump supporters. Thinking about the short term and not the long term.
Darwin always wins
The perfect allegory for today's Trump supporters. Better to die than do what's right.
Their worship of Trump is more important than making a living. Good luck.
Pretty sure I read somewhere they're open for takeout still
Cut their nose to spite their faces...
Cut off your nose to spite your face.
Good riddance!
I would simply ignore the mandate and have customers sign a waiver.
Boy, they showed us.
I guess they can't afford to close down. Instead of actually being mature and dealing with the issue at hand.
So ridiculous. Yes, we'll all eventually die. But why rush it? Do they oppose wearing seatbelts...crossing the street with the light? It's a matter of safety and health!
Don’t forget to wear your seat belts!
Going broke to show em 😂
Sounds like a cover story for a business that was already circling the drain.
This is self destructive behavior that turns to no good!!
Boo hoo hoo. Good, close. People like that won't be missed.
Fitting that they’re located next to a cemetery🤣
Graduates of MIT and are way ahead of us all! They nailed it, should have been hired by the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL and most cites, states and countries that have it ALL wrong! Fauci should hook up with them! Thanks for educating us! 😉 America deserves better than realDonaldTrump
Was their business not doing well to begin with?
Bill19300155 Who cares!!!
Going out of business to own the libs. Brilliant.
Well they are complete idiots.
Ok
'I do open carry...I'm not afraid' 😉
Considering this quote, '...Bodge and Heselton decided they'd close themselves down until they could reopen without masks'... AND that ice-cream places close during the winter anyway... WHAT'S NEWS-WORTHY?
Oh well
It's nasty making that live or die decision for someone else tho. Just sayin
Doesn't live in fear or afraid of what might happen (open carries) lol Let me guess, they set up a gofundme?
Ah the old cut your nose to spite your face. Or just lies - they were closing anyway, because it’s crap food and service.
Live free and die.
Who cares- let them close
Stupid.
Kicking yourself in the balls to own the libs is maximum 2020.
So many retardants doing the right thing and you just quit because you won’t care..
Wow! She won’t be selling ice cream this year during the winter months! Strategic!🙄
Good. The owners don’t deserve the privilege of running a business.
Fools!
Live free and die.
Hahaha what a bunch of morons. Trump supporters at their finest
Perfectly within their rights, dumb as a box of hair decision, but within their right
State: wear a mask, Open the doors Owners : fuck you I'd rather be one of those unemployed jerk offs I keep complaining about than wear a mask...
Who really are the extremists here? C'mon man, it is just a mask....
