    I mean, businesses like these want their employees to look the same.

    Having some wear masks and some not is jarring for the pearl-clutchers of the world.

    To be honest, if any of you put a little bit of thought into this, you’d come up with some pretty rational conclusions.

    Whether you agree with the policy or not is up to you. But trying to argue they’re ‘literally insane’ is just hyperbole to cover up your lack of understanding and insight into the situation.

      So that is a reasonable take? They don’t want people to wear masks because they’ll look different? That’s a lot of justification for an absurd corporate mandate.

          Being in the workforce for 40 years now I do understand how corporations feel.

          Masks help in general. And if an employee who has a cold wants to wear a mask that’s a net benefit for customers and society.

          Maybe I have more faith in the American people to NOT FREAK the fuck out if they walk into somewhere that has a masked worker.

          Probably unreasonable. Ideas of personal choice - until it comes to something where people disagree. Then personal choice gets removed.

            These businesses care a lot about presentation.

            While it would be nice if people viewed wearing masks in a restaurant as cleaner and more-inviting, that’s just not the case.

            People have evolved to become suspicious of those who cover their faces.

              I guess it really says something about those people who view masks as an attack on themselves based on your statements

                I don’t think viewing someone as suspicious is the same as them attacking you.
