Last week, after North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper lifted the mask mandate but recommended that those who aren’t fully vaccinated still wear a mask, Hisine McNeill, owner of Alpha Dawgs restaurant in southeast Raleigh, reached out to the state to see how business owners would be able to tell if someone has been vaccinated.
“If contact tracing leads here to my restaurant and I’m hit with litigation, is somebody going to chip in and help me with that?” McNeill said.
He got no clear answer, so he decided to require masks unless customers can show proof of vaccination.
“If you’re claiming that you’re fully vaccinated, show some type of proof," McNeill said. "If not, I cannot afford to take somebody’s word. If you don’t want to show it, simply wear your mask. Take it off when you get to your table to eat, and if you don’t want do either one, then I have to do what’s best for my company."
After McNeill shared his decision on Facebook, The Raleigh Republican Club shared his post telling people to "eat somewhere else." That's when the nasty emails and calls began.
Why do Republicans hate small business owners?
