Our First Restaurant Meal

Concart said:
My wife and I took the plunge. Our favorite local restaurant re-opened their patio and bar area for dinner and drinks. The best way to describe the experience is 'surreal'. Everyone was wearing masks (including us, until the meal was serverd). Half of the tables were unavailable. The place was about 25% of the normal Thursday happy hour crowd. I think this is the 'new normal' I felt safe, but I'm just not sure how the restaurant remains in business. I left a 50% tip because those restaurant workers are in a really tough spot. They need to work, but there are people that aren't concerned about their safety. Bottom line, this model will work to keep people relatively safe, but I just don't know how the restaurant can survive with that model. If it was more crowded, we would have just turned around and gone home. Very strange experience.

Welcome to the world of your creation. Fuckup!
 
I went to three restaurants, 1 outside 2 inside, 1 Tacoma 2 Oly, 2 good 1 not. That's all she wrote from me. I once almost never went anywhere but great Seattle restaurants and bars but that is all over, I have not stepped into Seattle since the second week Nov 2019, and have no intention of doing so anytime soon.

I am now watching another wave of closings as small business owners give up in the face of continual hostility from government.

Believe it or not, most of them survived around here. But, I'm done with them. I'm not going anywhere to eat where there are self-serving spoons that everyone coming and going is sharing, and kids are allowed to serve themselves running wild in the joint. No more Buffet's, Salad Bars, or all you can eat for me.

One thing that has shutdown here that I really enjoyed and now miss are our Cafeterias here in Dallas. There are no more Luby's operating, and Furr's Cafeteria chain shutdown, and now the best one- Highland Park Cafeteria has shutdown all of there locations. Not sure if we'll ever see them ever again, and they will be sorely missed by the mature crowd.
