TheBlaze Radio's Doc Thompson and Skip LaCombe were not impressed after reading reports that Amber Vinson, the second Texas nurse to contract Ebola, asked an Ohio bridal store to refund her bridal party $480 in deposits and payments.
Vinson traveled to Coming Attractions Bridal & Formal shop before testing positive for Ebola, having received permission from the CDC to board a commercial airliner and mingle with society.

After Vinson's diagnosis was confirmed, Anna Younker was forced to shut down her store and have the place professionally cleaned. Her customers panicked, cancelling their orders, and she lost tens of thousands of dollars.
"By the way, what is the whole purpose of a deposit?" LaCombe demanded. "A deposit is there because, 'Hey, we're going to go ahead and put the expense out to do this. Give us some of the money in case you decide not to pick them up or whatever, we won't be completely out.'"
"No you don't get your deposit back!" he added. "Of course not!"
