Recently went to Gators Dockside in Brownwood. No one was wearing a mask--the hostess, the wait staff and the man clearing tables. Won't go back for a long time.

Management is clueless.

Mentioned in another thread: went past City Fire at night and the outside area was packed. No spacing.

Went for takeout pizza and felt a little foolish....I was the only person wearing a mask, I guess trying to be safe doesn't work both ways...I noticed Jersey Mike's finally have their workers wearing masks, not covering their noses just their mouths but at least it shows that the company is trying...

I wear a mask when I go into bathrooms at the restaurants I’m in , I also feel strange being only one wearing it , we need to get over that feeling because the unmasked in those close places are strange not us

At least get a good one for your last meal.

Would rather have had something way better than IHOP--if I was going to get hit, it better be something way better than a IHOP pancake--

You are entitled to your opinion and your beliefs, since it appears to help you validate your position. We eat out 4-5 times a week and have not worn masks except, reluctantly, for medical appointments and have even cancelled two non-urgent of those because of the mask hysteria. We are back to enjoying our retirement and living life. If you prefer to cower in fear so be it. If you have medical issues, my sympathies, but don't ask me to restrict my activities because of them.

It is your life so your choice but why castigate others for wearing a mask that is highly recommended by medical authorities?

How would you feel if someone not wearing a mask sneezed and passed on the virus to you?

Not fear XKE....common sense, respect for others and science...oh, and good luck

Well said. Thank you. I wear a mask whenever I'm in public as a way to protect others in case I am asymptomatic. I still work full time...the two days per week I now work in my employer's office, I must observe my employer's policy that masks are to be worn whenever an employee is away from their desk. All production employees at my company must wear a mask during their entire shift. Refusing to wear a mask while in the office and away from my desk = no job for me.

If wearing a mask in public while COVID-19 is still around is the biggest sacrifice I have ever had to make, then I have led a very charmed and fortunate life.

Just wondering...how does wearing a mask restrict your activities?

They can be uncomfortable in warm weather but something we feel we need to live with

[Bleudeturquoise]

Is there a list of the restaurants in and around The Villages that do not require their servers to wear masks?
