MANDATE: Where I’ll shop, eat

I have to agree and disagree with Mark Zepeda’s letter on Sunday, Nov. 15. My reason for not supporting the businesses on Sherman is because maybe 5% of the customers were wearing a mask. I drove down Sherman and couldn’t believe the disrespect both customers and businesses have for the safety of our city. I want to support hometown businesses but some make it impossible because they don’t mandate wearing a mask in their store.

I will only support businesses that support the city’s mask mandate; science makes sense.
