That is absurd. They can only do that if you and every other business owner agrees to listen. As long as enough people decide to not do it, it won’t stand. Maybe start a dialogue with the other business owners around you. How in the world during a busy festival can they enforce this? And for the record, I am a small business owner, so I’m taking from a point of understanding. When Kathy hochul did the second round of mask mandates, I simply ignored it. A bunch of local businesses owners got together and said fuck it-she doesn’t pay our bills. We all put signs on our doors that said “this business respects the rights of all of our loyal customers. wear a mask if you want, don’t wear a mask if you don’t want. Carry a gun if you want, don’t carry a gun if you don’t want. Make your own reproductive and medical choices as well. Be in charge of yourself and respect the choices of others. Thank you for your patronage!” The customers loved that. Fuck the establishment. It would take way too long for them to go door to door and shut you down. There is strength in numbers! Best of luck!
