A California cafe owner is charging customers who wear face masks $5 to dine at his establishment.
Chris Castleman, 34, who owns Fiddleheads Cafe in Mendocino, Calif., put up a sign on Sunday notifying customers of the additional fee, according to NBC News.
“I don’t think $5 to charity is too much to ask from mask wearing customers who claim to care so much about the community they live in,” Castleman told the news outlet.
Castleman said that he will donate extra earnings from mask wearers to a charity of his choice. Currently, proceeds are going to Project Sanctuary, a local domestic abuse organization, but in two weeks, a new charity will be selected to enter the rotation, NBC News reported.
“It’s about time that the proponents of these ineffective government measures start paying for the collateral damage they have collectively caused,” the cafe owner said.
Why not??? If Florida can charge triple for concerts if you are not vaccinated, why can’t they charge to wear a mask.
