Beneath the large lettering are two additional notes, one saying customers would be charged \u201can additional $5 fee\u201d if they were \u201ccaught bragging\u201d about getting vaccinated and another note saying all of the additional charges would be donated to local charities that help domestic abuse victims.<\/p>\n<p>As SFGate reported, Fiddlehead\u2019s removed a previously displayed handwritten sign that read: \u201cGet your free COVID-19 vaccine card here!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris Castleman, who owns the caf\u00e9, told the outlet that some customers were upset about the fee while others have paid it. Castleman suggested people were actually outraged about the charitable donations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been told this whole time that wearing a mask is a small price to pay,\u201d Castleman said. \u201cSome people get shocked by the sign but to see them turn around and get disgusted \u2026 when they\u2019re asked to pay $5 [for charity], it\u2019s not in their wheelhouse. It\u2019s not something they\u2019re choosing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More from SFGate:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20.266666666667\">\n<p><em>As of Thursday afternoon, Fiddlehead Cafe\u2019s business page has temporarily been disabled on Yelp to prevent reviews from being made following the signs placed on Monday. But it hasn\u2019t prevented neighboring restaurant Mendocino Cafe from receiving unwanted attention, according to business owner Meredith Smith. &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWhat\u2019s happening is that we\u2019re on the same corner,\u201d Smith explained. \u201cI get a lot of feedback directed at him. They think I\u2019m him, we\u2019re across the street from one another.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Smith, who says Mendocino Cafe enforces mask use indoors, said she spoke with Castleman in April. That was when he announced that customers who&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfgate.com\/food\/article\/Fiddleheads-discount-mask-sign-Castleman-COVID-16079028.php\">tossed their masks in the trash would receive 50% off their order<\/a>. She says the conversation didn\u2019t really go anywhere and that she hasn\u2019t tried to engage with him since.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Castleman told the outlet that he will leave the signs up for at least a couple months and stood his ground when asked if he believed the extra charges were fair. He added that he didn\u2019t believe Mendocino County would end its mask mandate even though Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has planned to reopen the state on June 15.<\/p>\n<p>SFGate reported: \u201cMendocino County is currently in the yellow tier of California\u2019s color-coded system of reopening. As of May 27, more than 81,600 vaccine doses have been administered to Mendocino County residents, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/covid19.ca.gov\/vaccination-progress-data\/\">California All<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Newsom currently faces a recall over his handling of the coronavirus, which included shutting down the state and harming the economy while allowing certain, favored industries (like Hollywood) to return to business much sooner.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
