But how can you wear a mask and drink a beverage? And why does it take 2 security guards to confront me in oxford casino?!?!? Endnote.My husband happily sat at the playboy slot machine and drank his entire Bud Light mask free and security guard free. In hindsight, I absolutely wished I never got a beverage. All I said was why on earth would you even consider selling beverages now if you’re being so strict about not removing masks to drink them. I was so incredibly embarrassed & flabbergasted. My conversation with the 2 security guards lead them to tell me I shouldn’t allow anyone to “force” alcohol on me and that I could “leave the casino now”. The 2 security guards Escorted me back to the bar where I waited about 10 minutes for a manager so I could get a refund. I was literally 20’ from a person before the security guards confronted me. He said NO, she was wrong and that I could not sit alone and drink the beer with my mask off. I said I’m drinking the beer that YOU (casino) just sold me for $8. I slid my mask to my chin to drink my beer and literally within seconds I looked up to see 2 security guards!! One said “ma’am put on your mask”. I was at least 20' from any other people. Flabergasted and embarrassed I quickly put up my mask and wait to take another sip of my beer until I'm safely seated at a slot machine. I wasn't 7 paces from the bar having my 1st sip when a security guard dollars, 'ma'am, put your mask on'. While seated at a slot machine you may remove the mask and drink the beer and keep the mask down as long as you were 6' from anyone'.

'You can remove your mask while walking to take a sip of the beer and then replace it. To be sure it was ok I asked the bartender the specific rules about removing my mask to drink the beer. He said we could obviously remove our masks to drink a beer and that we'd keep our distance. Only about every 3rd slot machine was open and all tables were closed. The casino was rather empty and it was easy to social distance. He asked if I wanted one and I said no because I didn't want to take my mask off. My husband went to the bar and ordered a beer. I'm a registered nurse so I'm extremely respectful understanding, and compliant with the pandemic rules and recommendations. The screening process at the casino was much more thorough than anywhere I have been and we were fine with that. We were socially responsible and distanced and wore masks. Went out to Oxford Casino for my first date night with my husband since the pandemic began in March.
