This post is just my opinion and not a direct response other than possibly to the bar owner.
I am a small business with 30 + employees and we are essential to the military, medical and
agriculture industries. With 75 % of us who have been here at least 25 to 40 years, every
morning, we check temperatures not only to employees, but anyone who walks in our doors,
we do paperwork concerning the 7 questions the government asks us to do.
We know who is scared of the covid-19 and who don't believe in it. We disinfect every day.
I choose to wear a mask, I understand why most people wish not to,
however, if I contract this virus, I at least know I am not passing it on, really don't care
about adults as they have their own opinion and can make up their mind.
I just am not comfortable that if I pass it on to an adult, then they give it to a child,
it would crush me to know I was the carrier. It certainly happens and though I am not
100 % sure if I am a carrier or not, I am trying to protect my knowledge to the
best of my abilities. My opinion only, I do not judge other people.
I can not fathom owning a bar or restaurant as to try and follow the guidelines that are put
in front of business owners would be exhausting. I am sure, a percentage of patrons who
take offense to be approached at all in these manors, just adds to the overall frustrations.
If the food and entertainment business is under the same guidelines that I am under,
states may vary along with types of business, but, if it's true, I don't know how the heck
to attempt to be open.
Again, my opinions only, not stepping on anyone's thoughts, but, it's a difficult situation if
you truly care about your employees, vendors, customers, yes, just people as a whole.
