Doing alright - yes
She's doing alright.
She's on Broadway
Yes
She's come a long way
And now she's a star. Ring on every finger and big fancy car
Doing alright - yes
She's doing alright
Got her name up in lights
She's a queen of the night.
You're in New York
You're a star.
A sensation
Yes
You are - in the money
And they're applauding you.
You're in New York
You're a star. . . .
You're a diamond studded lady and a race on the stage
You're known across the nation
I guess you got it made.
Doing alright
Yes
You're doing alright
You're on Broadway.
You get offers from the movies to appear on the screen
But you're sleeping on it
Baby
'Cause it's not quite your scene
Doing alright
Yes
You're doing alright
Got your name up in lights
She's the queen of the night.
You're in New York
You're a star. . . .
You're in New York
You're a star. . . .

Hold the teens and their parents accountable. This goes beyond masks, it’s the culture now: “We can do whatever we want because we don’t face consequences”.

I saw the mask problem coming ever since I was expected to wear a mask inside the bank. If its normal to wear it then its easier for criminals to do what they want, less people will recognize them and all that.

All businesses should be able to lock their doors in cases like this. Lock the doors, keep the culprits inside, call police. Force the teens to do community service.
