Wisconsin Business Bans Wearing Masks After Stay-At-Home Order Overturned

Source: MSN

A Wisconsin business owner banned the use of masks in her buildings Friday, after the state Supreme Court overturned the state's stay-at-home order.

Annie's Campground, near Gresham, Wisconsin, posted the new rule on the establishment's Facebook page: "Masks are NOT allowed in the buildings for safety sake. They are viewed as a robbery in progress and will be handled that way." The post goes on to list planned events and food items available to patrons for the May 15-17 weekend, before thanking patrons in its conclusion.

"Thank you for your continued support as we all get through this thing called life! We have many new people on staff, please have patience as we are training and learning the next few weeks," the post stated, before adding "back to the real normal here."

Ann Retzlaff, who owns Annie's Campground, told Newsweek Saturday she posted this provision on her regular weekend "line-up" to dissuade anyone who enters her campground with the intent to do harm.

as long as I in return can consider coming at me with no mask as a murder attempt in progress and handle it as such.

No one will be surprised when there is an outbreak of COVID-19 at her campground and most people won't have much sympathy either.

It'd be interesting to see if this business loses patrons.

on staff are because some of her previous staff quit rather than continue working in unsafe conditions?

Also, I don't feel like a particularly nice person saying this, but when I read the part about "People who have driven hours to come here have hugged me..." all I could think was, good, keep hugging strangers from other areas of the country because that will end well.

If someplace as concerned with security as a gun store can deal with customers wearing masks, this place can as well. They're obviously simply making an idiotic political statement.

Take your money and shop elsewhere. The thought of being arrested as a robber for wearing your mask is repulsive.

Another owner who just doesn't give a dang about you getting sick.
