Proper response:
"Hey pal. Knock yourself out. You're banned."
These mask whiners are no different from the mob who try to impose their will on wedding cake makers.
Or in the popular parlence.......”no soup for you !”
Peeps who are concerned by non=mask wearers should wear two masks. One for themselves and one for the non-compliant. It would seem that The Science would give them the same safety.
Hey verbally attacking someone or a business is certainly a person’s right.
Have at it.
Btw, we are reaching a point where lawlessness and disorder will become the norm. Civility is gone.
This one great country, a shining light, has become just another sh!thole country.
Maybe the Deli Owner should replace all the Glass in his Food Displays to Chain Link Fencing to better keep out the flies?? After all, Chain Link Fencing offers at least 10 Times the protection against flies as a mask does against influenza.
Not enough info in the article to tell exactly what’s going on.
Is it operating just carry-out or are they serving customers to eat inside?
Is there a mask dictate from the state?
Proper response:

“...Bottom line, the deli is private property. The deli owner makes the rules. Even an alleged conservative should respect property rights and either mask up or go somewhere else....”
Exactly. I’m definitely NOT a fan of having to wear a mask. Actually, I hate it and think it’s utterly stupid except in certain situations such as a medical emergency room and a cloth mask won’t cut it there.
However, these are small businesses trying to stay afloat in a harsh and forced tyrannical environment. Respect the rules or just don’t patronize them. Why stir up trouble for these guys? They’re just trying to stay afloat given the regs they’re forced to function under. Just go somewhere else or go hungry. IF someone wants to make trouble, make trouble for the govt. tyrants dictating this stuff.
FWIW, I had to get lawn mower parts yesterday from a local mom & pop shop. They requested anyone coming in to their shop to don a mask. No problem. I put it on, got my parts and got to heck out...no big deal. Hated having to wear the mask but was darn glad to get the parts I needed to finish my yard.
color me skeptical
It’s not like anyone is wearing a mask while eating anyway and it won’t come through the food unless you are inhaling it. I wear a mask most places but it really is a site dependent rule. The important thing about restaurants is keeping the number of customers from congregating.
I will never wear a slave muzzle mask...
Steve owns Mike’s Deli?
The irony is the video shows the owner wearing a mask with a one-way check valve designed to open when you exhale. So by design, his mask projects his breath into the open.
More mask theater.
Absolutely. There’s nothing conservative about telling someone you’re free to do as you please in HIS place of business.
Absolutely. I don't like wearing the masks, but if you go to some business that asks you to wear one, then show some courtesy and respect.
Brookline is the home of Doctorjonathangruberofmit and probably the most left-wing, suffocatingly politically correct enclave in Massachusetts, but Micheal’s Deli is a gem.
It's not the deli owner making the rules. It's the state making the rules based upon dubious public health policy. If you're looking for the property rights violation in all this, it's not the customer who who refuses to comply, but the government that demands the compliance. So just mask up "conservative", after all, it's been ordered by your governor outside of the legislative process, all to protect you from yourself.
This is Boston, I don’t think they’re conservative, just massholes.
How does one eat wearing a mask?
I’m also getting sick and tired of this mask bullshit here in MA.
To some it is absolute virtue signalling...like a cult.
To me i am sick and tired of this uselessness..
The easiest solution is not to shop there - which is what I do with mask requiring places.
