Patrons must always wear face coverings except, of course, when eating, while employees should cover up in protective gear at all times.
When I go out to dinner, I like it to be an enjoyable experience, not to make me feel like a lab rat or in prison.
I said the exact same thing. I go out to dinner they have a enjoyable time with friends or family, not to feel like I’m walking around with a plague that will kill someone if I dare take my mask off 7 feet away from the table. These don’t sound like enjoyable dining experiences to me.
If it is safe enough for me to takeoff the mask while eating, why is it too dangerous for me to have to wear a mask to walk through the door to the table. I would think generally having your mouth closed while the hostess brings you to the table will be very low risk compared to actually opening your mouth eating or conversing with your friends and family at the table.
