In the meantime some bars are beginning to print menus listing bags of chips, peanuts, hot dogs, and "small plates".

The market will adapt but cutting capacity in half is crippling.

The zhit must cease.

They should spread the word about the Capitol Steps protest scheduled for Wednesday at 11. Would be nice to see a huge crowd there.

The petition will urge the Wolf administration to bring restaurants back up to 50 percent capacity.”

Oh. Ok. (Sad sad sad sigh...)

[metmom]

Wolf will stomp down even harder now.

Let him.

He’s destroying any chance for dems to get elected in many parts of the state.

“How can one person have this much power? How can one person go across our constitution, stomp on it and never look back? And there’s nothing we can do? He has too much power,” said organizer Matt Flinchbaugh, owner of Flinchy’s in Lower Allen Township.

The legislature already voted to legally end the ‘emergency’ but Wolfie ignores it and appeals to the PA supreme court.  Last I heard they’re looking into it.

From wikipedia:
“Wolf has expressed his opposition to targeting countries with economic sanctions or boycotts, saying, ‘We ... will not encourage economic punishment in place of peaceful solutions to challenging conflicts.’”

Counties, however, that’s okay!

Doing to Lebanon County what he wouldn’t do to China.

I'm not sure how Pennsylvania law works, but if I owned a restaurant like this I would be taking a serious look at turning it into a private club. Call it the "Bonefish Grill Social Justice Club" or "Justice for Flinchy Organization" or something like that, and operate on a membership-only basis where customers can sign up on the spot for $1.

In many states this would be treated differently under the law than a public accommodation.

Elections have consequences. Choose wisely.

Pennsylvania was finally able to overcome the fraud of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and vote read in to the night of nov 8 2016

They couldn’t cheat their way out of it like they usually do

Pennsylvanians are pretty smart and I think we’re going to see at least a 10 point win for Donald Trump this time

Regular Democrats who always vote Democrat have to see what the Democratic Party is now

it is anti-them!!!!

Yes you restaurant owner!!

yes you barbershop!!!

yes you little league team !!

yes you anybody who they considered “nonessential”

all you parents with kids that are small in school!!! all y’all!!!

They could care less how much this hurts you !!and they know this is a complete fraud!!!

Wake up demoncraps!! Wake the hell up !!!

Tyrants do not think. They do not care about anyone. They only care about their political objective - destroy Trump. All of these restaurants reopened weeks ago from the original shutdown. They had to cajole their staff in coming back to work instead of taking unemployment. A lot of restaurant workers were making more money on unemployment than working and simply did not return.

The gap between reopening and Wednesday's change in rules was spent by restaurant managers and owners adapting to a partial business, that is if they could even afford to reopen or find the staff to do so. Wednesday's rule changes now sends restaurant workers back to the street because their workplaces are now overstaffed. Or they get sent back to the streets because the restaurant cannot afford to operate at 25% of capacity.

Another twist to all this is that a lot of people in the restaurant business, the ones that wanted to work, went looking for new jobs because it is just a real pain in the ass to work short staffed. There has been a consolidation of employees to the best restaurants. What if they got a new job and were to start that job after Wednesday? They quit their previous job and now are left hanging. My daughter, who is a restaurant GM is in exactly this situation. Fortunately, her new job is secure. At least for now, because where she is going is already so short staffed business that they are still clamoring for bodies. Hopefully her job will continue to be available.

That situation is not the same everywhere. Overhead in the restaurant biz is big. This is going to push a lot of owners into bankruptcy. They haven't had cash flow because of the original shutdown, and an even further degraded occupancy puts them deeper in the red.

Politicians don't know jack schiff about running a small business. And even if they did have experience with a business, they certainly didn't have experience in everyone else's business. So that leaves them utter clueless about the demands they are placing on businesses.

This is why I was stark raving mad yesterday. I swear that I will screw every Rat that I have a chance to. Paybacks are going to be a world of hurt.
