ORLANDO, Fla. – Some local business owners are wondering if they have a right to refuse service to customers who won’t wear a mask.
The answer is yes, according to a local attorney, but with some conditions.“If the policy is no mask, no service, what the business needs to do to assure they are not sued, is to make sure that policy isn’t being applied in a discriminatory manner,” said News 6 legal expert Steven Kramer. “As long as a business provides accommodations under the ADA, it’s well within the rights of the business.
Just like a no shirt, no shoes, no service policy.”News 6 spoke with the owner of the Hammered Lamb restaurant and bar, who is frustrated after he says customers are growing complacent and ignoring his social distancing.
