I feel like Mr. Miyagi in the Karate Kid movie saying Wax on, wax off , only now it s Mask on, mask off . Or maybe I m channeling Shakespeare s Hamlet, with his famous existential crisis phrased as, To be, or not to be? .
Today, March 10th, marks the official lift of the statewide mask mandate in Texas, and restaurants and bars can operate at 100% occupancy.
Many businesses in the Central Texas area are still following the CDC guidelines to help slow the spread of the coronavirus, including asking customers to wear a mask. H-E-B seems to be catching the most flack for it, even though they re only asking politely while some employees demand stricter implementation of their mask policy.
