No face, no service: FL restaurant refuses to serve mask-wearers

A restaurant in Cape Coral, Florida, has adopted a policy of denying service to mask wearers, reported NBC2 News

Crisp Creperie, owned by Debi and Jack Hernandez, now has a sign in its window that reads, “Remove masks before entering. No more masks. Stand up for your rights to breathe the air.” 

The Hernandezes gave a few reasons for their decision, one of which is to “enlighten” people about the real reality of COVID. 

In fact, Jack Hernandez doubts the entire narrative, including the data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) claiming that over 68,000 Floridians have died from COVID-19 since the start of the pandemic. 

“Show me some proof that 68k people died from COVID,” he said. 

Hernandez’ statement comes just after a New York Times report which exposed the CDC’s withholding of crucial COVID data. 

Debi Hernandez also explained the decision by saying that masks are useless and have negative psychological effects on people who look at masked faces. 

"We believe they don’t do any good so we don’t want them here,” said Debi. “We are also affected psychologically by having to look at somebody with their mask on." 

In fact, a joint study by York University in Toronto and Ben Gurion University in Israel found that masks negatively impact children and adults by reducing facial recognition abilities, which then impacts social behavior. The research shows that masks reduce a child’s ability to recognize faces by 20%, as opposed to 15% for adults. 

Unbelievably, some oppose the decision due to discrimination, even though discriminating against those who don’t wear masks or who are not vaccinated is now common practice. 

“I personally think it’s wrong that they are discriminating against people,” Jody Matthews told the NBC affiliate. 

But the Hernandezes stand by their decision, and said they will remove the sign when people remove their masks. 

“When this madness goes away then the sign will go away,” Debi concluded.
