I don’t believer for a second that if you or anyone else in this thread were at a restaurant- no smoking in most states by law and - and someone in the table next to you starts puffing away sending smoke into your families space, you wouldn’t politely ask them to stop.

It can be about smoking, it can be about foul language or for some, chewing with your mouth open. How about a child who is screaming? Where does the line get drawn and by whom?

You have the right to get up and leave.

Wow! That seems especially weak. So if you are starting the meal you paid for, and a group lights up near you and the smoke is ruining your meal, you would get up and leave. Wow!

Guess you just didn’t grow up where I did. I have seen guys literally rip an ear off someone who decided they had something to say about their behavior in public. Better make sure you can cash the check you are writing when you decide to police others behavior imho.

Such fear in you.

There are some very scary people in this world. Some sheltered people don’t understand that I guess.

You’re constructing, not reading.

Here’s a free tip: Your fellow Americans don’t give a tinker’s damn what’s on your mind.

See, now we are getting somewhere.

You don’t want to hear from anyone, and assume everyone is like you. It’s a form of projection.

You already told us that even if there was a mask mandate in your state, and a requirement in the store you were in, you would ignore anyone who reminded you to put your mask up.

Similarly, I told you a story that happened just a few weeks ago where I spaced out and was happy to be reminded of my state and town’s mandate that I wear a mask when in public and with others.

You would rather leave a store instead of speak to someone. I would rather do the opposite.

We’re just different that way I guess.

What makes you think anyone would leave a store just because someone isn’t wearing a mask?

I run into people in stores all the time not wearing masks. I don’t leave or get up in their faces either.

Perhaps if one is that scared(of the virus) they should just stay home.

Maybe you should carry a gun if you are so afraid?

I’ve lived in a major city, lived downtown and had to walk home, about a mile, at 2AM after closing a restaurant. I’ve experienced a thing or two.

You have the right to get up and leave. The establishment has the responsibility to correct or to not correct the behavior.

Like I said, I just don’t believe you or anyone else here would just wait for your waiter to ask someone to stop smoking over your kids, or like you said, cursing loudly at the table next to you or whatever…

I just don’t.

I think this is all posturing because masking has somehow become hyper partisan.

Why should you do that? Your state, your town, and the restaurant you are sitting in have laws and rules designed to make your experience comfortable. Why capitulate to someone not following them?

But I don’t believe you would do that.

I believe you would politely ask them to stop.

Much easier to mind my own business than to carry a gun.

I’d say something rather than sit and allow the foul odor of the cigarette decrease the enjoyment of my meal. Plus, my wife has asthma so is a bit sensitive to smoke.

No need to wait for restaurant employees to take care of it, if they even do considering some restaurants are stocked with kids and a manager in his early 20’s.

I’m not sure what it says about people who are willing to sit there putting up with it because they don’t want to make a scene. Seems kind of weak to me.

Of course! This is what everyone would do.

This is all posturing because people don’t want to side with hannity lib about masks.

The waiter is going to get the manager to handle the situation. I am a guest in their “home”. I don’t get to enforce rules in someone else’s home.

I listened to him when he was live. He dropped the mask mandate, but said businesses still had the right to require masks in places of business. He was dropping his mandated restrictions and leaving it to each individual county to decide what restrictions they keep in place or put in place. Which in my opinion, he has been doing since November anyway. He keeps the state of emergency in place so he may act to take whatever steps are necessary if the state falls back into another surge. I think you will still see most hoosier businesses keep the mandates in place in their own establishments, with the exception of bars and restaurants.

In essence he has taken his finger off the control button and given authority to the County Health Commissioners to make individual more local decisions…so he doesn’t have to.

I wear a mask everywhere. That doesn’t give me carte blanche to become the mask police.

If I am starting a meal, I haven’t paid for it yet.

That’s the spirit - stiff the restaurant and staff rather than ask your neighbor to follow the rules!

That isn’t stiffing either, if the restaurant can’t provide what it offers, a smoke free dining experience, they, not me, have invalidated our implied contract.

SO you’d rather eat under a cloud of smoke or leave than politely ask someone to stop smoking in a non-smoking place.

Got it.

Still too early to take a victory lap IMHO.

AGREED…But I feel like it’s getting closer.

Guys with terrible tempers sometimes eat in nice restaurants but by all means, keep playing Russian roulette.

DMK said she would get up and leave.

Yeah, I don’t believe that. I don’t think anyone would stiff the place and waiter rather than communicate with a fellow american. This is all just posturing to avoid having to agree with a lib on a message board about masks.
