Masks, Gloves, Temperature Check: Texas Restaurant Opens Despite Order
Daily Wire ^ | 25 April 20 | Frank Camp

On Friday evening, the 8731 Katy Freeway location of Federal American Grill in Houston, Texas, opened up its doors for in-dining room customers despite an ongoing order from state and local lawmakers to remain closed except for take-out.

Owner Matt Brice told the Houston Chronicle that the restaurant has “complied 100 percent until now.”

“What I don’t like is that the government is picking and choosing which businesses win or lose. They are sinking the economy,” Brice said. “We have to stand our ground and get people back to work.”

Brice also told the Chronicle that precautions were being taken in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, as “one death is too many.”

The restaurant is operating at only 30% seating capacity, according to the owner, and staff are required to wear face masks and gloves, as well as have their temperature checked prior to working. Additionally, customers are afforded the opportunity to pay with Venmo and PayPal, reports the news outlet.

Give it up Travis, everyone is on to you and your dirty tricks.

You spent all your good will trying to panic readers with wild predictions of devastation, illustrated with colorful charts, reminiscent of those used by Left Wing thugs all down through history to bend a panicked populace into accepting of a Big Left Wing Government solution.

Now, after most of the FreeRepublic members got caught up in your ‘let’s panic at any cost’ and reality no longer supports your wild charts and posters you suddenly want to become part of the ‘Oh we’ve got to save America’ crowd.

Fat chance.

Some of us think you might even be on the Chinese payroll, as that is the simplest, the most reasonable, and most direct explanation of why you’ve been doing all these outrageous things for the past couple of months.

Should be fun eating with a mask on.

That's just for the staff.

So I take it that you suggest wearing a mask to a restaurant and dropping it every time you take a bite?

When I go to work....I have to have my Temp checked...and fill out a questionnaire.

And wear a mask..in the hallways...

I'm ok with it....

Many at the Hosp. I work in..think we have already had the "19" just didn't know it...

The median age there is prolly 35...I'd guess...
