Yup sounds like the type of person that would take precautions around my food. If this was my favorite coffee spot I would turn around and never return.
As someone outside the US in a country where masks are absolutely not (nor have ever been) an issue, I am assuming that the vast majority of people in the US don't give a shit about other people wearing masks. Is that correct? Like, 99.9% of restaurants and people aren't going to make a stink because you have, in your personal capacity, decided to keep wearing a mask?
I am being hyperbolic in my "doubt" but I am also legitimately curious about the everyday situation over there. I love my masks and next time I visit home I want to be able to keep wearing it!
"I give them the freedom of choice, which seems to be a foreign concept in these parts of the country"
What?
Even a year later, I'm still shocked when I see just how threated people are by a piece of cloth that people choose to wear in order to protect others from a disease.
What a country.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around adults being so fragile.
10 years under a waterfall may give me my enlightenment.
I feel like every small town in California is racist and stupid as hell.
as a California native who has lived/traveled all over this state as a mexican person. I can verify this assessment as 100% true.I feel like every small town in California is racist and stupid as hell.
I wish more places did this so I know where NOT to spend my money.
Feel free to out yourself scum.
he's right you knowBetter/safer from being sued way of doing it without looking like you're "destroying property".
Pretend to trip, put out hand to catch self, rip sign off wall as you "fall".
If you do end up hurt due to fake fall, sue owner for "slippery floor". If not hurt, leave ripped/crumpled sign and walk out.

i appreacite folks letting you know they are shit heads upfront
"Proceeds will be donated to local charities assisting domestic abuse victims"
While this is a positive for those charities, I have no doubt at all in my mind that the owners of the cafe don't give a shit about these victims. This is stinking - absolutely reeking - with the scent of trying to deflect criticism by making critics look like assholes that don't care about domestic abuse victims if they speak out against the cafe. Using domestic abuse victims as a sword like this is absolutely disgusting.

Your aunt is a moron. I honestly don't see how people keep others like this in their lives.Black Lives Matter stormed the capital(... ignoring the fact the crowd was 99% white and any possible reason said group would benefit from doing so)
normally we don't talk politics. Happened upon a tangent when talking about horse mats of all things
This ^I have a feeling any anti-mask restaurant probably does not have the best hygiene practices in general.
I'm personally also a fan of the need of some to imprint their house, their cars and their businesses with their wackadoo thoughts. I give em' a wide berth and go about my day.i appreacite folks letting you know they are shit heads upfront
I wouldn't have guessed this guy was pro-choice.But Castleman said in a phone interview, "I don't force anyone to pay. I give them the freedom of choice, which seems to be a foreign concept in these parts of the country."
We don't talk politics. It's how we were raisedYour aunt is a moron. I honestly don't see how people keep others like this in their lives.
All the well, let me know not to give you my money.
Fiddleheads Cafe in Mendocino, known for its controversial stances on the state's mask mandate during the pandemic, is closing for good after the new owners of the building decided to cancel its lease.
The cafe's last day is July 4, owner Chris Castleman confirmed to SFGATE.
The building was recently sold, and the cafe's lease with the new owners — a couple from Marin — was canceled in June without explanation, Castleman said, just days after the cafe made national headlines in late May for adding a $5 fee for those who ordered food from his cafe with masks on.
...
Castleman said he was in talks to extend the lease for three months to September to allow for him to sell his business, but said he refused to sign the agreement when he saw the new terms. Among the conditions included in the month-to-month lease, along with a rent increase, were stipulations that there be "no further publicity related to the business, of any kind, regarding mask wearing or vaccinations, and business will comply with any orders, laws, or mandates of government," according to a copy of the extension contract Castleman provided to SFGATE.
...
The landlords, for their part, said they do not have any issues with Castleman's ideology. In an emailed statement to SFGATE they wrote, in part:
"We respect and are accepting of all our Tenants' political and personal beliefs. However, if a Tenant's behavior impacts the business of other Tenants (driving away customers to the building) or creates a potential liability (e.g. large fines the building owner is ultimately responsible for or conflict in the community that could translate into physical altercations), then it becomes a business decision as to whether or not to continue the Tenancy. ... Hours were spent discussing Chris Castleman with members of the Mendocino community and it became clear from the feedback that it was in our best interest for him to leave. Out of respect for Chris, we will not repeat the intense negative feedback we have heard from the community and strong advice that he needed to leave ASAP.
"During our evaluation, Chris Castleman created a false narrative that we ended his month-to-month lease due to a disagreement with his ideology. We received multiple messages — many threatening — from his supporters that expressed dismay we would not renew his lease based on a difference in ideology. This narrative is patently false. This is a business and since we will be losing money with the decision to end his lease, its just indicative of the magnitude to which Mr. Castleman's beliefs have interfered and added risk to the overall business. We have heard from people in the community that continue to steer clear of the building as a result of Mr Castleman, and some have expressed fear."
