Businesses react to the idea of a city-wide mask mandate

City leaders are considering joining others around the state and nation to require people to wear masks in public.brian "we're seriously considering that as an option.

Maybe beginning next week.."another option to slow the spread of coronavirus?

-- shut businesses down again -- but most don't consider that an option right now.brian "believe me, it hurts my pocket book personally having a business, three businesses, it's been effected by this since mid-march and the last thing i want to do is re-open and not have any business and i know everyone else that's a small business owner is feeling that too."

Some businesses have been pro- active and are already requiring masks upon entry... brian : "we'll probably follow suite at the tiger's den.

Maybe that'll cost us in business, maybe that'll gain us in business.

To me, the health and safety of the people that are our customers, come before anything else."but what about eating at a restaurant?how is that suppposed to work?dj "eople would keep them on until they got there.

Like here (trh), soon as you sit down you have bread so that's going to be the time to take it off.

Eat your bread, have your steak, have a goodtime.

And when it's time to get back up you put it back on and walk out."

Texas roadhouse won't require a mask if the city does not mandate it...but they are making some changes in the restaurant to further guarantee social distancing.dj "i know that we're doing some extra stuff.

We're going to put in some dividers today actully, we have a construction crew coming tonight and the are going to put up some dividers between all the booths and seperate some people, maybe some extra protection so i think that'll help"reporting in st.
