Why these restaurants and anyone else puts up with this I do not know. If I lived in a smallish town and had a restaurant I would contact as many owners as possible and band together to open . I would get popular opinion on my side. Of course it might be derailed by employees who refuse to work but my gosh they’re going to comply until they die.
It happens...I frequent them, and employees are happy to work and pick up MAGA tips. Cops allow it.
