A vintage clothing store isn't arguing with customers about wearing masks

[Robert59]

Antique Sugar co-owner Sarah Bingham is tired of arguing with customers who don't want to put on a mask before coming into the vintage clothing shop in Phoenix, Arizona.

The store was closed for 2½ months because of the coronavirus pandemic. Bingham said they put up a polite sign when the store reopened on June 1 asking people to wear a mask, so the staff could stay healthy and keep the business open.

Most people were happy to comply, and the store gave masks to shoppers who didn't have one, she said.
"The people that didn't want to wear a mask, really didn't want to wear a mask and they wanted to argue about it and just tell me it didn't work, or that it was stupid," she said.


Bingham said she was tired of arguing, so on Monday, she put up a blunt new sign.
"If you choose not to wear a mask, we respectfully ask that you postpone your visit," the sign says. "We'll be happy to debate the efficacy of masks when this is all over and you come in to sell your dead grandmother's clothes."
It concluded with the message "TL;DR Masks Required."

Figured out that the TL;DR at the end is a summary for people who didn't want to bother reading the full sign.

(TL;DR means too long, didn't read.)

Good for them! That hits it right on the nose.

If it's mandated there by the governor and the law does not enforce it, then not wearing one will take precedence with lots of folks....
her sign was very appropriate and she'll either keep the customers she has or lose lots of em....hope the rest will become compliant.
