NOTE Confidence: 0.92302346 00:00:32.150 --> 00:00:33.914 I spoke with the bakery owner who NOTE Confidence: 0.92302346 00:00:33.914 --> 00:00:35.513 says with all of the confusion NOTE Confidence: 0.92302346 00:00:35.513 --> 00:00:37.085 she didn't know what to do, NOTE Confidence: 0.92302346 00:00:37.090 --> 00:00:38.566 but she knew one thing she NOTE Confidence: 0.92302346 00:00:38.566 --> 00:00:40.210 didn't want to get $1000 fine. NOTE Confidence: 0.89724874 00:00:42.910 --> 00:00:45.790 Top Tier Bakery has a busy week ahead. I NOTE Confidence: 0.89724874 00:00:45.790 --> 00:00:47.390 haven't had any cancellations at NOTE Confidence: 0.89724874 00:00:47.390 --> 00:00:49.630 all yet, so it's still you know.

NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:24.344 --> 00:01:26.064 But Governor Greg Abbott said NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:26.064 --> 00:01:28.149 businesses don't have to listen because NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:28.149 --> 00:01:29.779 his executive orders come first. NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:29.780 --> 00:01:31.480 It was kind of like, NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:33.860 OK, we got to get it up NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:33.860 --> 00:01:36.839 and then kind of just work from there about NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:36.839 --> 00:01:39.638 whether statewide it's going to be a problem. NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:42.448 But for now, like the Travis County side. NOTE Confidence: 0.88581717 00:01:42.450 --> 00:01:45.560 I would rather not have to pay $1000 a day.

NOTE Confidence: 0.8987781 00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.888 I drove around town and saw mixed compliance. NOTE Confidence: 0.8987781 00:01:54.890 --> 00:01:56.658 Most big box businesses NOTE Confidence: 0.8987781 00:01:56.658 --> 00:01:58.868 didn't have the signs up. NOTE Confidence: 0.8987781 00:01:58.870 --> 00:02:00.994 Barnes said, not much will change NOTE Confidence: 0.8987781 00:02:00.994 --> 00:02:03.780 except the signs on her door. She will NOTE Confidence: 0.8821268 00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:05.814 continue to require masks and limit NOTE Confidence: 0.8821268 00:02:05.814 --> 00:02:07.999 occupancy in her Northwest Austin Bakery.
