It’s not that difficult, Karen.
A food truck vendor has gone viral after posting a very relatable sign outlining the proper etiquette for safely ordering items at the establishment.
The owner of Swine and Steel food truck in Seattle wanted to make sure everyone understood the basics of wearing a face mask and threw in a little snark to stress the importance of the guidelines.
"Masks go over mouth & nose," reads the sign in bold letters. "It's been a year, I could potty train a dog faster than this."
In slightly smaller lettering, the lower half of the sign lays out typical excuses people may have for not wearing a face mask and the food truck’s solutions.
"I forgot it, go get it," began the first excuse and solution. “You won't hear me, be louder. I can't breathe, grow up!"
“Today” spoke to the owner, who would only identify himself as Evan after receiving threats for putting up the sign.
"People didn't pay attention to (smaller) signs … After a year and 400,000 dead Americans and counting, I have to worry about my wife who's immunocompromised. I have to worry about my one employee and her spouse, and I have to worry about every customer that comes after some selfish person who thinks that their needs are the only ones that matter, and I just couldn't handle it anymore," he told the outlet.
"So I made a bigger sign that made how I felt crystal-clear."
The original tweet of the sign, shared by the owner’s friend, has since been retweeted more than 55k times and has received 255k likes.

While most of the feedback has been positive, the small businessman has also received some push back from anti-maskers.
"A lot of us are very tired of this nonsense," he said referring to those who show up to his truck not wanting to wear a mask. "Especially those of us who work in the service industry, who are not seen as a person, but just a thing that's there to serve you."
