Refused service this morning at an IHOP.

Took a little trip this morning for a Dr's appointment, about an hours drive one way.

My wife and little girl wanted IHOP.
They both wear masks everywhere as they are scared to death of this plandemic. I dont agree with their decision, but whatever.

I have never worn one. Nor will I.

We were stopped at the door by a 19 year old who told me I was required to wear one. I said no.
We walked past her, and into the restaurant.
She followed me. Told me that unless I wore a mask, they wouldnt serve us.

According to her, you have to wear the mask from the door to the table. 15 maybe 20 feet. Then you can take the mask off

The place was full. No one sitting at a table had a mask on.

But I have to wear one to walk 20 feet?

Fuck you.

I said no. I will not be a part of the foolishness.

She yells for her manager. Who treats me like I had walked in off the street carrying a dead skunk.
Everyone involved treated me like I had broken an unforgivable law. Like I was a leper.
People were pointing and talking about me. Someone said that I should be locked up.
For what? Not wearing a fucking mouth diaper?
Other people were snickering. Laughing at me.
A woman in the back said that I was scaring her kids.
Manager said I had to leave or she would call the cops.

I told her that I had a medical condition, and that I couldnt wear a mask.
She laughed and said, I'm sorry. But you're not coming in here without one.
I said, So you are refusing to serve me, even though I have a medical reason?
She shook her head and said, Just leave.

All because I wasnt a part of their little club of fear.

And to make matters worse.
My wife stormed out. Mad at me for embarrassing her.
Calling me names in front of our little girl.
Stupid, ignorant, an asshole. Putting those other peoples lives in danger. We've been married 17 years. She has never acted like this. Never.

I am at a loss for words.
The little town I live in is very rural.
You see a few women wearing masks, not a lot of men.
I have pretty much just went on with my normal way of life ever since this shit started.
Never been confronted with such outright hostility and ignorance by a bunch of total strangers.

I ended up leaving. Didnt want to get arrested.
But, damn I'm mad.

I mean. I'm really mad.

I have literally worked myself to death to have a home and provide.
Wife doesnt work. Never has done much of anything..
I have sacrificed my body to the point of it breaking down for my wife and family.

And to be treated like this?

I dont know what to do.

The restaurant incident pissed me off. But ultimately fuck em.

I just cant get over how my wife went off on me. Over nothing.

I just dont know what to do.
