Letter to the editor: Why aren’t people following mask mandate in Paso Robles?
To the editor,
I’ve been coming to Paso Robles from Monterey three or four times a year for thirty years. I’ve always had several winery club memberships and have regularly brought guests to sell your town. I’ve probably spent $50,000 there over that span but that is over. I will never spend another dime in your town.
Despite the indoor mask mandate, the majority of the restaurants I walked into this past weekend had no employees wearing masks. I was actually ridiculed and threatened for wearing one. What has happened to the people of your city?
I realize there’s nothing you can do about a few bad apples, but you certainly can enforce the mask mandate. I feel badly for the few restaurants that are following the rules, but I have canceled all wine clubs and I will tell everyone I know to avoid Paso Robles forever.
By the way, I have never once walked into a Monterey restaurant without employees all wearing masks. It can and should be done out of common decency for those at risk.
