Actually it turns out I was right, you people did not bother to verify anything about this story and you're just assuming stuff to rage over.
The restaurant in the picture is the La Tapenade Mediterranean cafe. This is a real restaurant in the O'Hare airport. This restaurant is a chain that is owned by a company called HMSHost, which a subsidiary of the big Swiss company Dufry. If you go to their website and look up their policies, you'll notice that there is zero mention of masks ANYWHERE. Here is their website, you can verify it yourself:
I thought that my search was flawed, so I tried to look up articles reporting this story but I couldn't find anything. The one and only source to this story is that Tweet. Which means that it's very likely that this story is a hoax made up by some Twitter rando who wanted rage bait.
Which makes sense because it is highly unlikely for a big corporation running a company that runs chain restaurants in international airports to have a policy against masks, especially when the airport in question is in Chicago, which is one of the most liberal cities in America. You simply fell for the bait without questioning it.
Does anybody actually know what the restaurant's policy is on masks and why they have it in the first place or are people just assuming things to rage over?
