Although there have been several incidents in which people have been asked to leave without wearing masks, a restaurant in Texas has become the focus of attention when a couple who refused to take off their masks were driven out.

Natalie Wester's Facebook post has now gone viral on social media, sharing how the couple were asked to leave the restaurant in Rowlett because of wearing masks.

"My husband and I had a very unpleasant experience at Hang Time in Rowlett. We entered the bar wearing masks, and in the front, a girl told us to take it down while checking our ID. The music is noisy, so I guess She just wanted to look at our faces and our ID cards."

West admitted that she could not hear what the woman at the front desk wanted to say, and then went on to elaborate on what happened that night.

"About half an hour later, our waitress came to sit next to me and said,'Our manager sent me over because I am better than him. Yes, it is political. Then she told me that their building They are not allowed to wear masks in China. They can make rules because they are private companies. She said that masks “do not work, just like using barbed wire to block mosquitoes. They cannot provide people with enough oxygen. "

In a conversation with the waitress, West shared that her four-month-old child was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when she was born, and the couple had been wearing masks to protect him. "I told my waitress (her son's situation) this information, and she told me that if there is a problem, she can help me close the check. Wonderful. My husband and I paid and left."

West wrote at the end of her post. "I am shocked by the level of ignorance in our country. I can't imagine that the pandemic will get worse, because so many people have this idea."

However, the restaurant owner (confirmed only as "Tom") supports the no-mask rule and told CBS DFW that he will continue to enforce the rule. In an interview with the news website, he said: "I have spent my money on business, and my blood, sweat and tears have been spent on this business. I don't want to wear a mask here." Feel the overall reaction to the mask now. The United States is absurd. "

According to news reports, the restaurant did not post any warning signs to inform customers of the regulations, and they were only informed when they entered the location.

Tom told the news website when talking about West and her husband: “So when they put on the mask the night before, they were reminded to remove it in front.” “They didn’t want to, so we asked them to leave. "
