A taco restaurant in Los Angeles temporarily shuttered both of its locations on Sunday, raising concerns over the safety of their employees as some customers not only refused to wear masks, but reportedly also harassed staff for asking them to do so.
“Our taco stands are exhausted by the constant conflicts,” read a statement from Hugo’s Tacos, which has two restaurants in Atwater Village and Studio City. “Staff have been harassed, called names, and had objects and liquids thrown at them. A mask isn’t symbolic of anything other than our desire to keep our staff healthy.”
