Customers at one Northern California cafe were taken aback Monday morning after they got a glimpse of the new store policy that greeted them at the door.
“$5 FEE ADDED TO ORDERS PLACED WHILE WEARING A FACE MASK,” read the poster on the glass window at Fiddlehead’s Cafe in Mendocino. A second sign with the same memo was located by the register.
Just below the large print were two additional notes on the poster that warned guests if they were "caught bragging" about their vaccines “an additional $5 fee” would be added to their bill. The sign claims the fees will be donated to local charities assisting domestic abuse victims. (Previously, Fiddlehead’s Cafe had a second sign on its storefront that’s circulated on social media and read “Get your free COVID-19 vaccine card here!” The sign has since been removed.)
Owner Chris Castleman, who isn't new to sharing his political views, says that some customers have paid the $5 fee, while others have been outraged. Castleman blamed this outrage not on his mask fee but on the charitable component.
“I’ve been told this whole time that wearing a mask is a small price to pay,” Castleman said. “Some people get shocked by the sign but to see them turn around and get disgusted ... when they’re asked to pay $5 [for charity], it’s not in their wheelhouse. It’s not something they’re choosing to do.”
When asked if he believed it to be fair to charge customers the superfluous fee, Castleman maintained his position. He added that he plans to keep the signs up for at least a couple of months as he doesn’t think Mendocino County will rescind its mask mandate anytime soon, despite Governor Gavin Newsom’s reopening plan for June 15.

Good! “Its a small price to pay!”
Allergy sufferers need not dine there. Primarily because this business owner is an ass.
They would be happy to pay the fee if the charity were to support Drag Queen Story Hour at their local library.
I guess “a small price to pay” and domestic abuse charity donations have some relationship that angers mask junkies.
Then you don’t need to dine there.
You’re Clutching at straws with your allergy argument.
*see what I did there?*
“Allergy sufferers need not dine there. Primarily because this business owner is an ass.”
Why is he an ass? After all SCIENCE has proven the masks do no good at all and certainly fail in what was primarily used as the reason we should wear them.
Beside he owns the business so he makes the rules and if you or anyone else has a problem with the rules then they should not deal with the place.
Thank you for your unsolicited opinion. Here's your business plan; Print that on toilet paper, put your cone of shame on your face, and peddle it to your fellow CNN watchers.
The owner is just "exercising his rights" ... Masking is one of the greatest hoaxes to ever be hoisted upon mankind. The owner would most likely wave the $5 fee for a person with allergies that chose to wear a mask.
Have you worn a mask your whole life?
see what I did there?*
-—Hahahaha!! Good start to the day!
$500 surcharge on same sex wedding cakes?
Duuude, relax! The business owner is poking his finger in the face of every sheeple, wearing a mask OR bragging why they don’t NEED to wear a mask. He’s jerking the chains to rattle some Common Sense to the fore.
But you know that. We hope that you have a good cup of coffee, maybe a cinnamon sweet roll, and truly, Make it a Wonderful Day.
Spoken like a true ass - ironic...no?
Have a safe Memorial Day weekend.
I am not a veteran, though i am extremely proud of my youngest brother , now over 50, for his service as a Marine, and then following, law enforcement.
Thanks to all of those who serve. The world is a better place because of you.
This includes Clutch Martin. No Sarcasm.
I dont have allergies.
And no one notices the wolves at the edge!
Wow...
I’m being scolded by obverse Karens!
The people want to wear a mask when it’s there business. If people don’t want to wearbmask that’s their business too.
Charging $5 because somebody walks into your place of business with a mask is messed up. Anybody who thinks that it’s okay it’s doing the same damn thing as a leftist commies are.
I suspect he dangles tampons from his head.
As he is a giant ..
