Watch the video. He should have never had it off if it is so imperative to wear it. He is SURROUNDED by people, many without masks. Lead by example or he's a huge hyporcrite. So yes, I am hammering him since it's "his rules". Good for thee, not for me.

As for your first point, great, you are doing fantastic work. But consider the scenario at Johnnie Choaks Hardware store. Post young person to be club bouncer at the door. Pay him/her $8-10 per hour to stand there all day long taking temps just waiting for someone to start raising hell and causing a ruckus that said young person is now embroiled in. Store owner is out that amount of money and now has to de-escalate a situation that is totally unnecessary and he had it thrust upon him. Glad mayor dork backed off of that.
This seems like a bit of a reach. Should he have a mask, sure, but I suspect that not even the most ardent slip up now and again. The fact that he made a mistake a didn't wear a mask one time when he should have does not change the fact that the masks help. So because someone doesn't wear a seatbelt once, they should never have to wear one again. You're really looking for a reason to hammer him
I still don't understand why a business has to hire a person specifically for temps. It's not difficult to train someone to take temps. I have cross trained all my staff to do temp checks.
Those that keep fighting this strike me as throwing the baby out with the bath water. If those they oppose don't say or do the exact correct thing 100% of the time, you throw up your hands and say, "See, they don't do it." Kinda childish, IMO.
On your first paragraph: it's not like someone caught him ducking into a donut shop at 6 am. It was a televised public event. If that's a "slip" he's the dumbest politician on earth... a high bar nowadays.
On the second, you don't have to a hire a new person, but you do have to pay someone to do it. Some restaurants can probably have a host do it with no real disruption or extra cost. A lot of other consumer businesses will have to station an extra person at the door when they are already bleeding. I have extremely low confidence in the usefulness of the thermometers anyway, that seems more like safety theater than a serious attempt to impact spread.
This x1000.
It is not the
act of taking temps, it was the
requirement of taking temps and "bleeding more money" for employees essentially doing nothing in a business environment that is already struggling. That will inevitably escalate into a situation that will need to be handled by management types. Dude has been working in the yard, goes to hardware store with hat on, gets popped by a thermometer that is taking a reading and not knowing whether that piece of equipment has been accurate. What happens when the dude is 0.1 over this arbitrary limit and is told to go away by this employee? I would be all kinds of pissed because I will mask up even if I don't like it and then have the temperature police shun me.
Me being childish? Hey, talk the talk, walk the walk, especially if you are the leader of the city. HE HAD IT AROUND HIS EAR, it's not like he got caught walking into the building and they jumped him. If it was a 6 foot rule and they jumped him and shoved microphones in his pompous face, I wouldn't have a problem with it but he actively sought out that situation.
