What is your policy on mask wearing?
With the mask mandate lifted, Potted Elephant is switching to optional, individual protection for masking. Omicron has made cloth masks obsolete. We will be providing our vaccinated crew N95 masks.

We will be monitoring variant spread and follow state mandates to protect our customers.
