Employees at restaurants run by a national group said the company is forbidding them from wearing masks at some locations in Texas that are reopening as the state allows for limited dine-in service.
Hillstone Restaurant Group, which operates four of its 45 national locations in the Dallas area under different brand names, is not allowing staff to wear any form of personal protective equipment (PPE), according to multiple reports.
The policy was first reported in People Newspapers.
The kitchen manager at Hillstones R+D Kitchen located in Dallas told People Newspapers the restaurant is not allowing masks. The manager told the newspaper: We stand behind our decision.
Two employees of the Park Cities restaurant location told The Dallas Morning News that those who chose not to work under the current conditions were told they would not be scheduled for further shifts.

(34,139 posts)Do they make the staff wash their hands, do they follow food handling regulations? With their lack of concern about how their staff might be exposed to the virus and/or expose their customers, I would be suspicious of all their practices.
I am almost sorry I don't live close to one of their facilities, so I could complain to them about this!
