- Fiddleheads Café in Mendocino — which has been a noted critic of pandemic face mask mandates from the start — is now charging patrons wearing a face covering an extra $5. Chris Castleman, the owner of the contention cafe, drew widespread attention over the weekend after his small CA cafe posted a sign demanding that customers wearing a face mask pay an additional $5 for their order; customers “caught bragging” about being vaccinated would also have to pay another $5; so this means that your $2 coffee could cost more than $12 (after tax), should you let it be known you're a member of the Pfizer gang.
