Pandemic restaurant-going was like a series of twists on the old Yogi Berra quip about how nobody goes there anymore because it’s too crowded. First, restaurants stood cavernously empty by mandate as we pined for them. Then we got scared to be cheek to jowl with fellow customers. As patrons surged back, a dearth of workers kept things off-balance. And as the worker shortage eased, inflation thwarted many diners from pre-pandemic levels of patronage.

It was the dumbest damned thing, ever. It was not safe, inside. So, they built a tent and made another inside but it was outside so it was OK And then they closed the bathrooms at parks and playgrounds and brought in porta potties And Dems somehow, found this completely sane
Not the Pandemic. It was the lockdowns. Big difference. Much of the fear based behavioral changes were because of the propaganda wapo 'reports' on. Criminals.
That looks incredibly demented.
The pandemic has been a tough time for the restaurant industry, but we've shown that we're a resilient and adaptable bunch. The developments over the past year will probably alter the dining landscape permanently, but we'll be.... 🧵
