In Chicago, the Restaurants Downtown and the Near North are still doing Mayor Lighthead’s dirty work. The Restaurant employees think that by being rude to customers over face masks will somehow pay off.
I have told two restaurant owners/managers that I will never go to their businesses ever again - they just said “ok” They are in the tank for the Democrat Mayors and would rather go out of business than fight the mandates.
It is good that you spoke the truth to those restaurant owners.
Sometimes it takes a while for the message to sink in—in their case the “teaching moment” may hit when they look at their monthly income statement.
Then they will remember what you said.
