A Texas bar owner has banned customers from wearing face masks inside his establishment.

Kevin Smith, owner of the Liberty Tree Tavern, posted a sign reading “Due to our concern for our customers, if they FEEL (not think) that they need to wear a mask, they should stay at home until they FEEL that it’s safe to be in public without one”.

Smith says he’s following guidelines for social distancing and reduced occupancy, and admits the face mask ban is “more of a push back” against “snitches”.

Should owners have the right to ban face masks inside their business? Would you visit a business that didn’t allow face masks?
