No Mask, No Entry, No Exceptions

[anonymous-user]

Lovely afternoon in York today. Got the bus from my village and after an hours shopping had a very long lunch in All Bar One.

No masks for me and Mrs G at all at any time. Some masks for some customers but no masks for any staff.

Bloody lovely it was.

I still have to wear a mask for work (I'm in healthcare) which is irritating for 10 hour days, but you get used to them, but I'd still rather not!

Yep if the staff can’t be arsed to even give a nod to it at front of house then it’s doubtful they are operating anything at all behind the scenes. They won’t get my custom.

Agreed, I've worn a mask once since "freedom monday", it's nice to be getting back to normal!

What a very weird assumption.

Time to rename the thread "no mask, no problem, no Biggie"?

Somewhat off topic but this made me giggle and shows the stupidity of some of the rules.

Reminds me of a bar I was in earlier in July, I was out on a stag do, the bar knew we were together, around 11 of us, we booked two tables to comply with their rules. they split us up, put a seperate table between us and told us no talking between tables, no passing anything between tables and no moving between tables.

Funnily enough we had one drink each and left again. in every other pub we had been in we ran up fairly hefty bar bills and the managers seemed quite happy to let us do so, it certainly wasn't what could be described as an up market place either.

To be fair, if they'd been subjected to the checks and threats from licensing (with police on tow) that a couple our locals have then I don't blame the bar at all - it's their licence at risk.

I wouldn't have believed the threats and overzealous enforcement if I hadn't seen the police and licensing staff talking to one of the landladies and then asked her myself exactly what they had said to her.

This argument is beyond tedious.

Is it really the best you can come up with? That everyone that doesn't agree is scared?

This was at the pub we decided not to go into yesterday evening.

And those rules were followed (even if not displayed) in the pub we went to eat in.

And our good friend the anti-masker expat (immigrant) represents well his similarly inclined compatriots here.

The thing about this guy is he's double stupid.
His an anti masker / anti-vaxxer - well there you go, window licker straight away.
Then add in that his obviously a "Freeman of the land (or other mad group of people" and you have to wonder if it shouldn't be a legal requirement for him to have a carer or two with him at all times.

Whether you agree with his views or not, the really stupid decision here is to do it in Singapore, where they'll take this type of thing very seriously.

Masking indoors is pretty universal here in Toronto, and companies are beginning to demand proof of vaccination. Federal government gearing up to require full vaccination for all employees including federally regulated companies such as banks. Numbers here are pretty good though US not doing well and likely to require full vax for all visitors shortly- unknown whether Astra Zeneca will be accepted by US.

Restaurants have the usual rule..masks unless eating, including outdoors. Enforced or servers and customers.

Not a lot of controversy, though road border to US remains closed, and I have not been at my winter place in Arizona since Mar 2020.

I find both extreme ends of the argument just as tedious as each other.

I went away for a few days last week, went to various pubs/restaurants/cafes. Some requested a mask to be worn, some didn't. Just like most normal people it didn't have any impact on my experience or opinion of the business, I just got on with my day.

Well there's no other reason to wear a mask except possibly for virtue signalling

Is that really the only reason you can think of ?

But your masters told you to take the masks off from the 19th July? You have done what they said up until now, why the change of heart?
