I wouldn't eat there.

Employees are required by law to wash their hands and wear hair nets.

How is wearing a face mask and gloves any different?

Nice to see that not everyone is buying the fear porn...

This is an example of why California's Covid-19 infection rate is currently skyrocketing. While the state has pretty strict regulations and becoming stricter seemingly by the day, too many Californians refuse to adhere to them. Stores like Walmart claim to require all customers to wear masks, but once inside Walmart you see quite a few customers including whole families with kids, shopping without a mask. Walmart won't refuse service to non complying customers so they continue to defy the store rules. Restaurants are open despite state law. Hair cutters are cutting people's hair on the sly. You go to the auto repair shop and nobody including the mechanics or cashier wears a mask. Go to fill the car with gas and nobody in the gas station is wearing a mask while filling their cars (I go through several disinfectant wipes cleaning the gas pump touch screen, key pad and hose handle). I have come to hate and fear gas stations. A neighbor down the street had a big indoor birthday party with carloads of guests and nobody I saw entering the home was wearing a mask. The mayor of Los Angeles has been telling people in his daily news conference that if residents don't take this pandemic seriously by wearing masks, social distance and not be in large groups then the city might have to re-impose a stay at home order. He has been beating that drum for two weeks now and residents pay no heed. The sad but predictable result are skyrocketing infection and death rates. The necessary precautions are well known no-brainers but too many people are stubborn and refuse to do the right thing.

Strangerland, no problems in the UK or Australia with folks refusing to wear masks or social distance?

I think all countries are seeing this problem to varying degrees. It’s significantly worse in counties where masks were politicized. Like the US. And the American cultural anathema against sacrificing ones personal interests for the greater good makes for this problem to be a particularly American one. Not to say other countries aren’t seeing it as well, simply that America is number one.
