Look how easy it is to wear one! Photo: Sergio Flores/Bloomberg via Getty Images This week, Eater’s Atlanta outpost reported that many restaurant owners are “pleading” with their customers to wear face masks. This comes on the heels of a widely circulated report that a taco stand in Los Angeles closed because customers refused to wear masks. And another from Detroit. And one from Arkansas.
I’m not here to advocate against going out. Restaurants need all the support they can get right now, and if people feel comfortable going — clearly, many do — I am not the person who will try to dissuade them. What’s so difficult to understand is the absurd sense of entitlement that allows a customer to believe a mask is in any way an actual burden, or that wearing one to protect the welfare of workers is a problem. Masks are cheap; wearing one is very, very easy.
The social contract has changed in the most straightforward of ways: By going to a restaurant now, you agree to take reasonable measures to avoid making workers sick. They, in turn, agree to do the same. To argue against any of this is to simply say you do not care about the welfare of other people. You do not care if someone else gets sick, becomes unable to work, or worse. By refusing to wear a mask, you say that your perceived comfort is more important than another human being’s safety.
asytsma Keep it up. Keep it up and see what happens to you dinner crashers
asytsma As hard as these endearing articles try, they “clearly” do not convince non-mask wearers to wear a mask.
asytsma All I hear is 👇👇👇
asytsma To be fair, you can’t wear them while you eat so it’s kind of pointless to just wear them in the door and take them off. And I’m a mask wearer.
asytsma You’re making this crap up!
asytsma That’s b/c masks don’t work FakeNewsMedia masksdontwork KAG2020
asytsma Feeling powerless. This shit gives them a purpose a raison d'etre Don't even need a deadly virus for this shit 😂 thatsamurikafolks 🤷
asytsma 👍
asytsma Restaurant. As in 'place to eat'. Which implies that at one point food will have to go into your mouth/stomach. Which is near impossible with a mask covering your mouth. If you have to wear a mask to eat or 'you don't care', that restaurant reopening is for nothing.
asytsma It also says” I been protesting the closings and I’m not wearing a mask to hasten your closing again. My not wearing a mask is selfish and ignorant and I support that”.
asytsma This is a very stupid take brah.
asytsma I live in Las Vegas, and only about 2/3 of the people I see are wearing masks. The pandemic is almost as bad here as in Arizona, and these mask-refusers are making control of the virus impossible. Donald Trump caused this. He should go to jail for murder.
BettyBuckley asytsma I don't understand going out to a restaurant during a Planetary Plague.
BettyBuckley asytsma That is kind. Approaching apologetic kind. It appears to clearly reveal how mentally ill so many Americans truly are. I don't say that lightly. In fact, it would be an invaluable study to document just how much false, misleading propaganda campaigns contribute to mental illness
asytsma Covid is a sensationalized/politicized scam.
asytsma How do you even wear a mask to a restaurant? How do you put food in your mouth? By lifting it? Who wants to go out and pay a lot of money + tips to eat like this? Just don’t open, then. And wait to see if your business will survive after (and if) this is all over
asytsma How can I say this without offending anyone? Oh, I know, 'Just blow me!'
asytsma Looking at this from outside the US: maybe restaurants should not be open (for table dining, anyway) if customers have to wear masks. The public health policy failures are the problem, not the people wondering how they will eat with a mask on.
asytsma BeWell Washing your cloth mask after each use. Staying at least 6 feet away from others. Not touching your eyes, nose and mouth. Sanitizing frequently touched surfaces.
asytsma I truly wish that people would stop saying that someone doesn't care about others if they _____ (fill in the blank using anything referring to COVID-19). How can I care more about someone else than I do myself? I care about myself and because I do, that respect extends to others.
asytsma I really respect restaurant employees. Many have to wear masks while serving patrons who don't have to wear one while eating. It must be hard.
asytsma How can you wear a mask at a restaurant & eat? Pull the mask down, take a bite, put the mask back on. Sorry, but it's tedious & not a very good way to eat. I respect myself and others. I care about myself and others. That's why I'll eat at home w/o a mask and not at a restaurant.
asytsma Your main purpose at a restaurant is to eat anyway, people should go elsewhere to chat during coronavirus. Cloth face covers are not medical grade masks. Socialising will never be the same after Covid19UK, stop being selfish, people. FirstWorldProblem
asytsma How do you eat your meal if you're wearing a mask? When do you remove it, for each bite, or for all of your meal, replacing it once you're finished?
asytsma I wear my mask everyday, everywhere.
