Masked duo turfed

DENETTE WILFORD

A couple in Texas were kicked out of a bar after they refused to remove their masks because of their immunocompromised son.

Natalie Wester and her husband went to Hang Time in Rowlett, Tex., for some grown-up time without their 4-month-old, who has cystic fibrosis, reported KTVT.

When they sat down, they were told their face masks were violating the bar’s dress code.

“Our waitress came over, sat down next to me and said, ‘Our manager sent me over because I am nicer than he is. And, yes, this is very political, but you need to take your mask off,’” Wester told KTVT.

Wester mentioned her son’s condition to the server, who offered to close the couple’s cheque “if it was an issue.”

The owner told KTVT that he doesn’t want masks in his private business, which gives him the right to refuse service.
