Sounds fair enough



MENDOCINO CAFE OWNER SAYS HE'LL ADD AN EXTRA $5 FEE FOR MASK-WEARING PATRONS

“$5 FEE ADDED TO ORDERS PLACED WHILE WEARING A FACE MASK,” read the poster on the glass window at Fiddlehead’s Cafe in Mendocino. A second sign with the same memo was located by the register.

Just below the large print were two additional notes on the poster that warned guests if they were "caught bragging" about their vaccines “an additional $5 fee” would be added to their bill. The sign claims the fees will be donated to local charities assisting domestic abuse victims. (Previously, Fiddlehead’s Cafe had a second sign on its storefront that’s circulated on social media and read “Get your free COVID-19 vaccine card here!” The sign has since been removed.

$10 for those weird full-face masks that some attention-seekers wear. $50 for those people who shrink back into doorways and alcoves as you pass, their eyes above the mask a mixture of terror and rage.

Sam - I'm still embarrassed by those people who shrink back into doorways or step into the road while I walk by. Round here there are not so many now, but it's a grim situation when people can be induced to do such things.
