So the magic money fairy is going to cover the increased overhead apportionment due to reduced capacity, the gloves, the masks, the disinfectants and increased labor to run a covid safe environment? Send him or her my way. I need some magic money too.

At least as a surcharge you can expect it to drop off the pricing structure when this crap is all over.

You don't think that restaurants can just add on whatever they like to cover their costs...and the customers are just going to lap it up.

That's a recipe for failure.

It won't be the money fairy visiting these restaurants, it will be their banks with foreclosure notices.

The restaurants that succeed are going to be those that can entice customers to come back. Surcharges aren't exactly enticements.

This crap is not going to be over. It will be continued in one form or the other. The Governmental Officials are enjoying their power over the sheep too much. In their minds the sheep must be “protected”, i.e. controlled. The sheep whole heartily agree with this. The few who rebel will be crushed with a fist of iron.

When one reads the fine print of the "opening ups", they are not openings ups. The Government is just giving their permission to do certain things. The restrictions are largely left in place.
