My fiancé stepped in. Later, the man who threw fries was kicked out of the establishment. Why did he think it was okay? .Why does my mask offend him? .Shout out to the security guard - Jermaine King - who did what the server who witnessed the incident wouldn’t.
A man threw fries at me because I refused to remove my mask. The first two fries I ignored because I was in shock. I quickly thought it was a mistake. It wasn’t. Prior to throwing the fries the man yelled, “Take off your (expletive) mask.” This happened at a Chicago Supper Club.
