Anti-Maskers Claim “Religious Exemption” At Denny’s, Make The Waitress Quit Her Job On The Spot
We wish we could put all the pandemic-induced chaos and problems on hold for at least for the winter holidays, but coronavirus doesn’t take a vacation. On the contrary, the lethal virus has been especially ferocious, causing 50,000 deaths just in the past month. Horrifyingly, a heartbreaking 2,403 have died on average in the US every single day in the past week, according to Johns Hopkins University. CNN estimates it’s an average of 1 Covid-19 death every 40 seconds.
But when it seems that the numbers speak for themselves and don’t require additional reasoning for wearing face masks, some people are still refusing to do so. One such incident was caught on camera and shared on Reddit on Tuesday, where it immediately caused a stir in the comments.
Two anti-maskers who filmed the event on a cell phone camera came into Denny’s in Franklin Park, Illinois, and refused to wear masks. When the waitress politely told them they were required to wear one, the customers claimed “religious exemption,” citing the “Civil Rights Act of 1964.” But the waitress had had enough of the BS at that point, and did what she thought was best.
This video of a waitress tired of dealing with anti-maskers caused a stir on social media
According to Newsweek, it’s not clear who the two men who refused to wear masks due to “religious exemption” were, but one of them in the video was wearing a shirt with a quote from the founder of the Christian group Jesus Christ Ministries.
Meanwhile, Fox News reports that the spokesperson from Denny’s issued a statement following the incident: “While we understand that some may feel that they are exempt from certain mandates, at Denny’s, the safety of our employees and guests is our top priority and we will always abide by all applicable regulations and guidelines to ensure that priority is met.”
The rest of Denny’s statement regarding this incident claimed, “this pandemic has hit the restaurant industry and those that work in it particularly hard, and we ask that those who choose to dine out respect the hard work and resilience of these workers by adhering to public health guidelines as well as individual restaurant policies.”
“We look forward to when these requirements are no longer necessary, but until then, will continue to act in the best interest of the health and welfare of our guests, employees, and the communities we serve,” Denny’s concluded.
According to Denny’s official statement on their website, the company has taken steps “to ensure the safety of their employees, their guests, and their community; from bolstering our sanitation and safety protocols to developing drive-up ordering, curbside pickup, and contactless delivery.”
Due to the pandemic, Denny’s enhanced their sanitation procedures like daily temperature checks on employees, masks worn by all members of the team, social distancing, disposable menus, washing hands every 20 minutes with soap and sanitizer, etc.
And this is what people had to comment on the incident
Religious exemption from wearing a mask...what a pile of bullshit. But...why did the waitress take off her mask in about middle of the conversation and why didn´t the manager have his nose covered? If you want someone to follow the rules, then you should give a lead too.
Of course you have the right not to wear a mask. But the restaurant also has the right not to serve you. The door swings both ways.

@Scyth look, this is something you need to understand. Your trolling is getting you nowhere in life. It's not cute, nor is it funny. Have you looked at how many points you have lately? Maybe you should stop being such an ass because you know damn well it's doing you no good. All you're doing is trying to get a reaction from people by cheering on the worst in the world. Did you know that people like you have talked strangers into suicide? And it barely fazes you. Take a look at yourself and tell me you're not a f*****g monster.
Load More Replies...WEAR YOUR F*CKING MASKS! You may have freedom of religion, but your religion doesn't give you the freedom to be an a**hole and potentially kill someone because "it's my religion." I don't know what religions are like today but they sure aren't teaching you to be d*ckheads. If they are, then they better pray to their God to ask for forgiveness because they're endangering other people's health.
The virus won't magically stop spreading for your claim of religious exemption. You may not actually be healthy or maybe you are. You can't expect people to take your word that you are healthy. Its not about protecting you, its about protecting other people who may have compromised immune systems. Stop your selfish, over inflated, ridiculous sense of personal freedoms at the risk of lives.
F**k Trump. It goes all the way up to him. He incited this behaviour and he caused the conditions that make this behaviour so dangerous. I hope things end up being OK for this waitress.
You are right!!! This bs happens bc of that idiot trump.
Load More Replies...This really makes me mad. I am religious and I wear a mask everywhere I go. It is not about protecting myself, it's about protecting people like my dad whose immune system is weak. People need to just put on a damn mask and stop looking for excuses to not wear one. If you don't want to wear a mask then stay home. Please, let's work together so that this virus will go away.
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! It's not freedom or religion or freedom *of* religion. It's plain meanness.
Load More Replies...Their religion should've taught them not to be an asshole. Thats a lesson thats more important than most of what religion claims to be teaching anyway
Sad to say, I hope that this young lady can find employment where she is not in the service industry and dealing with this type of people. If not, I hope she can unfailingly remember "The world is full of stupid people, always has been, always will be." Just plain stupid, moronic, idiotic, dumb, ludicrous, senseless, unintelligent, dense, imbecilic, thickheaded, out to lunch dimwits. Imagine what the world population would be without them. Although, food for thought, our lives would be a lot safer.
There is really little difference between terrorists calling it their religious right to threaten or attack other people and people calling it their religious right to endanger the health and therefore the lives of others. I believe in God, but in my view, God does not want "religious people" to be exempt but to be exemplary.
I recognize that religious exemptions are necessary to allow people to freely practice their religion, but there is no religion that forbids face coverings that existed even 6 months ago. The person refusing and filming this is a d**k and abusing statutes meant to keep people from refusing service because of a legit religion. Not one you made up 5 minutes ago.
The deathcount for the US is 314 000 people. That's 314 000 mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters who have died. That's 314 000 families who lost a beloved one. If you still think that you're exempt from doing your duty to fight the spreading of a fatal virus, you either must belong to some dark satanic cult or your stupidity most exceed the top level set by Trump.
Satanism is about selfishness, it could be right! Even me as nihilist couldn't disrespect others like that
Load More Replies...They could have avoided this by just wearing one until they got to the 'safe zone' at their table...
I worked in customer support at a travel agent and I would definitely support public reviews for customers as well, there are so many people that are really horrible and they get away with terrible behaviour because of "the customer is always right" policy. Some people deserve to be denied the service and other businesses should be aware of them. They would soon learn to behave better, not all of them are irrational freaks, most of them are just mean and self-centered. I hate seeing how so many of them get away with being rude and disrespectful.
As a nurse and respectfully I can say they are a pain in the f*****g a**e! If they are so religious, why they don't spend time in a Covid ward, without PPE instead of being a total bell-end!
What religion is this? the waitress should have asked. That would have shut them up. They wouldn't have had an answer.
Anti-maskers are just pussies who have zero control over their lives so they pretend not wearing a mask is some freedom exemplar.
The Civil Rights Act does not apply anyway. They would need to prove an _established_ doctrine in their "religion" that requires the entire face be uncovered at all times. The courts established this many years ago when people tried to use the CRA as legal protection for smoking pot or doing mushrooms. Protection was granted to certain First Nations peoples because their religion included the use of psychoactive drugs as an established tradition. Whereas churches that were created to give their members an excuse to do so were not.
These people are not Christians despite what they claim. They're actually the opposite of what it means to be a Christian.
I can not respect any religion, or rather people who interpret their religion as allowing them to be a steaming pile of horse manure dropped into a dumpster and lit on fire on a July day. Wearing a mask is a public health policy and a common courtesy to one another, to keep each other safe.
if she wanted to make a statement she could litterally put this people out. so she lost her job and this guy just didn't care.
They were bigger than she was. She couldn't just "put these people out." And it's her employer's job to do that, not hers.
Load More Replies...These people are NOT Christians. We are suppose to be kind to people and look out for the welfare of others. Wearing a mask is looking out for others. So tired of people saying this! They need to go home and read their Bible!
I notice that a lot of these hypocritical "christians" are very bad at reading the whole bible.
Load More Replies...The exemption is total horseshit. They were just trying to make trouble. So what if they take their business elsewhere, go infect someone else. It's not forever, just for now. Do it!
“Don’t believe everything the media tells you”...what? like thousands of deaths per country world wide and still on the rise?
There are tons of things that the media tells us that we don't need to believe, but covid deaths are an exception. This virus is a real virus and nobody can change that. These people are beyond stupid
Load More Replies...Try dealing with these shi*brianed killers in a hospital. By law we cannot deny them treatment. Access, but not treatment. The local ER gets people who walk in coughing, no masks, then laughing at the uproar. Where I am in the hospital, I can get security to boot 'em. ER, no such luck.
If I had been a waitress when the pandemic started, I would probably be in prison by now, because I would have murdered one of these mask refusers months ago!
As long as churches and protests have separate rules it will be hard to convince some people that masks need to be mandatory.
Most of the churches I know aren't having services/masses because of Covid. What churches are you thinking of?
Load More Replies...Even the manager was wrong! She put her mask down, the manager has his mask with the nose hanging out.... it was a festival of wrongs. Oh yeah, religion doesn't cancels science or biology, only radioactive stuff can do it!
The guy also said “we just don’t want to wear masks”. Wonder how much time they spent looking up an act to fill their agenda and how many other restaurants they went to film at. Any act can be superseded during crises like the pandemic. I somehow cannot see any prophets or god’s thousands of years ago write that masks don’t have to be worn...they didn’t have masks then for a start
the two people who were filming are just dumb! they went in to cause trouble....tbh, i would happily wear a mask just to cover my face from being seen by free men while others feel like their religion is being put into question... there is no religion which would require someone to go into danger like that... even in my religion we are ordered to protect ourselves from anything that can harm us....so those men have no excuse... they misused something which is supposed to be respected no matter what religion it was...
As a nurse who got COVID with a mask on I can assure masks make no difference. If they did, no healthcare workers would be getting sick yet almost all of us have had it and survived. Wake up.
Masks make no difference from protecting you from getting it. The idea is to protect others from YOU, in case you have it. And it's proven; they do work for that.

You will have to sign a waiver for all situations that arise during your stay, in case of injury, our staff like to toss knives between orders...if you out stay your alotted time given another 250 per person will be charged to your open credit card we will hold onto during your stay. If you notice any unusual amazon purchases just ignore them, it is probably nothing more than tips to your waitstaff in forms of home decor and gaming software. Enjoy your meal.
Religious exemption doesn’t matter. Doctors notes don’t matter. Your no belief certainly doesn’t matter. What those things entitle you to do is stay home and away from public. At home, you don’t have to wear a mask. Substitute being a leper for having COVID. You no (that’s 0) right to spread a disease that is killing people. Period. If you are so weak that wearing a thin piece of cloth is too much, stay your butt home. This thing has been made so much and gone on far longer because whiny little b***ches can’t be decent humans.
Or, as Vaughan Starr says above, "underwear" 😄

yeah, same thing at burlington sometimes, i'll work 5pm-2am and 3pm-1am shifts back to back having to support this bs makes you wanna give it all up sometimes just because you can only take so much stupidity

God only helps those who help themselves. That’s in the f*****g Bible. The mask is how you help yourselves ingrates
Quick read of that act shows it's a clear misapplication of anti-discrimination law(s). Basically they (implicitly) claim that being part of a protected group gives them the right to form their own exemptions which is completely wrong. As long as the factor(s) that place them in a protected group is not part of the decision that act (or any other anti-discrimination one) does not apply.
"My religion actually REQUIRES a reckless disregard for the lives of others"

Fine. I demand you show me the exact location in the text of the 1964 Civil Rights Act where it mentions wearing a mask during a pandemic. I'll wait. Take as much time as you need. Come back when you can show me that. You can't just make an absurd claim like that and expect people to abide by it.
I don't know about your state, but mine has a notice that is posted on every public door: "The governor has issued a mandate that masks are to be worn at all times in these premises." Doesn't have, and doesn't have to have, anything to do with the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

I think you answered your own question. A $2.85 (or less)/ hour job isn’t exactly life changing money.

I bet if someone started a gays against masks subreddit or fb group, this s**t would stop.
It seems like, A-- the clearly fake patrons were bored AND B-- the manager wanted to make this video.
It is kind of silly as they take the mask off to eat! Cant have it both ways. No eat in makes more sense than mask on while walking, off while eating. Also i know a woman who refuses to wear a mask because her ptsd( boyfriend tried to smother her). But she could wear a face shield right?
Then she shouldn't go out, if she can't wear a mask. And you get to take the mask off at your table to eat, as long as you are 6 feet away from the other customers.

I think you answered your own question. A $2.85 (or less)/ hour job isn’t exactly life changing money.

I bet if someone started a gays against masks subreddit or fb group, this s**t would stop.
It seems like, A-- the clearly fake patrons were bored AND B-- the manager wanted to make this video.
It is kind of silly as they take the mask off to eat! Cant have it both ways. No eat in makes more sense than mask on while walking, off while eating. Also i know a woman who refuses to wear a mask because her ptsd( boyfriend tried to smother her). But she could wear a face shield right?
Then she shouldn't go out, if she can't wear a mask. And you get to take the mask off at your table to eat, as long as you are 6 feet away from the other customers.
