What would you do if you saw someone not wearing a seat belt? That is a great way to think about it!
Please consider leading by example.
Consider setting a good example, speaking to the business owner if you are feeling uncomfortable. It is not appropriate in this instance to call law enforcement that is up to the business owner. It is also not appropriate to shame or start an unnecessary altercation.
