Could any restaurant, anywhere, fill all of its seats?

I would be surprised.

But I support their right to try.

People are finding out they like their own food better than restaurant food.

Our state is still at 50% capacity. I work in a small restaurant. The only thing saving us is that we have a decent sized patio-some restaurants don’t have that. Once the weather changes, things will be bad unless the governor “allows” full capacity. 75% capacity would change nothing.

a restaurant depends on high flow of customers...this 75% is not going to cut it...

It should be obvious by now that this is an orchestrated effort to destroy small business.

They’ve made it so onerous, that you really have to want to go out for dinner. The uncertainty of things just adds to it. Masks and the social anxiety they breed, and being in a room with strangers by itself is enough to make you a little anxious - and now the CDC is telling people “I’d stay away from restaurants if I were you...”

How are you supposed to stay in business?

Texas is also (finally) at 75%, in restaurants.

Total joke.

These establishements cannot make profit, at that rate....not to mention being shut down for half of the year, already.

And, employees have discovered they could make $$$ staying home, and have left for other pastures, by now.

The best restaurant in my (Md) town has already announced bankruptcy. Makes me sick.

Well even if they went to 100%

Not everyone wants to go back to eating out

And many are out of work and/or watching their finances a lot more carefully so the customer bases for restaurants have shrunk

North of the Mason-Dixon (PA) we’ve been stuck at 25% since July 15.

The ballyhooed increase to 50% doesn’t begin for another two weeks then only for those establishments which “self certify” aka expose themselves to civil and criminal charges if ANYTHING is “out of compliance”.

And you Merlanders are crabbing about another 50% of your capacity not being enough?

That why many of us call you BaltiMORONS.

I’ve gone out to eat three times this month, it seems that food and service quality have gone down since this covid stuff started.
