Good for you. Culver's is better and they are following all guidelines and are always very pleasant. Don't go anyplace that isn't respectful!

After two months of not eating out at all, I stopped by Orange Blossom Cafe (in Fenney Rec Center) for an iced coffee. The employee, although very nice, was not wearing a mask. I was so disappointed and left. PLEASE, if you operate a food establishment, reward your employees who wear a mask (notice I didn’t say ‘mandate’). It’s for the protection of all of us. BTW - I won’t go back to the Cafe and I won’t eat at any place where employees aren’t wearing masks.

It’s so nice to hear from someone who is taking the virus serious. We will not go there! Thanks

Very well said. My husband and I refuse to EAT in a restaurant (definitely won't go to Ollie's...I understand u took out). We do more take out now more than usual to support the businesses. We wear our masks, I social distance and if I see someone with w/out a mask I will make purposeful move away from the person. People in TV are ignoring CDC guidelines.

Good advice, because if someone drives a car to a non-mask wearing business, they have a better chance of death from a car accident than they do from COVID at the business.

The top 10 leading causes of death in the United States

Unintentional injuries
Deaths in 2017: 169,936
Percentage of total deaths: 6%
Accidents, or unintentional injuries, are the 4th leading cause of death in the U.S. overall, and the leading cause of death for those aged 1–44.

Possible prevention measures
Accidents are unintentional and usually unavoidable. However, there are many ways to reduce the risk of accidental injury and death.

Some key components of accident prevention include focusing on road and workplace safety, such as using a seatbelt and never driving or operating heavy machinery while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Masks are not mandated. We will survive this like we have every other virus and life has to get back to normal and that includes not wearing masks. But if you do not go out and buy stuff, any stuff, do not look for these places to exist in the future because they will not be able to economically survive. When you go out looking for services, including ice cream, they may not be there to serve it.

Where is Ollies, I love frozen custard??

Reading this forum, I can't believe how many people "drank the Kool-Aid".

BTW, when the banks open up for inside business, will these same people walk in wearing a mask?
:boom:

Yes!!!! Especially the home made masks or those purchased that are made out of cotton or a synthetic. Wonder if the wearer washes the mask on a daily basis after use? Most likely not so the mask is loaded with microbes of all types .

Customer Respect and Satisfaction
 

There are a number of things that help make a business successful. Some things that come to mind are: Providing a product or service that consumers want; providing a product or service that is of high quality; providing a product or service that consumers feel provide value for the cost; and a high level of customer service and satisfaction. I’ve never been to Ollie’s and probably never will. Why? One reason is because I don’t think the owner is very bright. Let’s look at this logically. Let’s say half the population doesn’t buy the mask thing. They would go to this establishment whether or not the staff is or is not wearing masks. Now let’s look at the other half that believe masks have some benefit (whether they do or don’t). Well, Ollie’s attitude just turned them off. So, why doesn’t his staff wear masks? Let’s look at all the negatives to wearing a mask. I guess one is the intolerable discomfort. After all aren’t they nailed or screwed onto the face? Oh wait a minute, they are cost prohibited. Those cheap 10 cent masks which cost $1.00 now will break the bank. If he has 6 staff members I guess that $6.00 a day will bankrupt him. So apparently he’s willing to turn away potentially 50% of the consumer base because they “don’t have” to wear masks. Pretty stupid to me. I prefer to spend my money at places that “appear” to be concerned with my health, whether they really are or not. Places like Walmart, Publix and Costco are not required to wear masks yet they do. Why? Because it makes some of their customers feel more comfortable.

Unless you are talking about using a N-95 rated mask, wearing a cloth or surgical mask is equivalent to erecting a wire fence to keep the mosquitoes out of your yard. They are ineffective and are mostly a "feel good" solution.

Many of us are informed, not paranoid, and we ARE staying home.

Masks
 

Sounds like the owner has a “bad attitude”. That said, although the mask isn’t legally mandated, it protects the customer not the employer. I’m with the OP on this one.

Never been but I'll be sure to support them now. So tired of all the people who complain about what others do or do not do.
