Texas restaurant kicks out family because they were wearing masks to protect at-risk infant
David Edwards

A Texas restaurant required a family to remove their masks even though the couple's 4-month-old infant is immunocompromised.
Natalie Wester told KTVT that the incident occurred while she was dining with her husband at Hang Time restaurant in Rowlett.
Wester said that they chose to wear masks even though they are vaccinated to protect the health of their 4-month-old son.
Our waitress came over, sat down next to me and said, 'Our manager told me to come over because I am nicer than he is But this is political and I need you to take your masks off,'" Wester recalled.

I thought that my outrage meter had hit capacity, but this story proved that wrong.

I don't disagree, but it would be just as outrageous had they been wearing masks just to be safe. NT

I was going to write the same thing, but I didn't see in the article where the infant was with them

Even more obvious question... How, exactly, did they plan to eat while wearing a mask?
