posted a sign on their storefront which says:“The Fat Badger welcomes and supports the continued use of masking in our establishment.
Harassment of any sort towards other patrons, masked or unmasked, will not be tolerated.”“We want you to be comfortable and we support you and we are going to support you if someone gives you a hard time,” said Nickerson.
COVID-19: Saskatchewan people, businesses prepare for life beyond the mask mandate In the absence of mandatory masks, many businesses like The Fat Badger are happy to let you make that choice for yourself — but they are mandating respect during the transition.“Because we don’t want to see customers belittling other customers or just being like, ‘You don’t need that.
That’s stupid.’ No it’s not stupid to them and we are going to support them,” said Nickerson.At the Fat Badger, Nickerson says they have already seen too many examples of harassment based just on the decision to wear or not wear a mask.“I’ve had people rip masks off my face when the vax passport ended just cause they don’t think that they need to so I know if I’m receiving that just by working I know other people are going to have criticisms as well and it’s just not fair,” recalled Nickerson.
