My newfound take is this....if 10,000 Marxists don’t need masks for their loot rallies....then the Lowe’s forklift guy is probably gonna be just fine without his.

The Lowes store here is still highly neurotic about corona. It's a big hardware, lumber, appliance store with a big garden center on one end. The garden center has its own cash register and a big bay door that opens up into the parking lot.
They won't allow anyone to enter through the bay door.
My wife was there a couple of days ago and decided to buy some potted plants that were located right outside of the bay door of the garden center.
She picked up two of them and began walking towards the checkout,..which is located about 10' inside the bay door. The woman running the checkout told her that she had to walk all the way to the main entrance of the store then enter the garden center from inside the building.
My wife just set the potted plants down where she stood and left. Our Lowes is quite the opposite. Thankfully Lowes has always done big business in this town. Every spring they have pallets of various bags of garden soil, compost, mulch,..all kinds of gardening and landscaping stuff. It all sells out quick. People around here are talking about how knotheaded the Lowes is this year. You have to jump through all kinds of hoops to buy the most basic thing from them. People are finding alternatives to Lowes. I needed some small hardware items last week and I drove 25 miles down the road to another small town to get them. They have a good, locally owned hardware store that doesn't practice nonsense.

was talking my boss in Chicago
took his family out to eat, no salt/pepper, condiments on the table, menus were throw-away, paper cups, paper napkins. Utensils were metal however.
People were space apart. He said it made him realize the food at that place wasn't all that great, and he paid $200 for essentially having an indoor picnic.
He statement was he isn't going back out until the places can offer a pleasant dining experience, not a sterile one.
I've yet to go out to a restaurant, I'm not sure why other than I'm fine with a burger at the moment.

We’ve been able to eat at a restaurant for a few weeks. Went last night again.

My favorite mom and pop hamburger joint reopened a couple three weeks ago. Little more space between, waitress wears a mask when unknowns come in, but she takes it off when we're alone in there chatting. No condiments at the table, have to ask for them.
*Has anyone come up with a name for the slick little city boy that shows up wearing a mask, skinny jeans, has a big jewish nose and head that sticks forward on his neck like a rooster?You know the type. Votes democrat, loves Bernie, feels bad about being white and tries to make black friends to assuage his guilty conscience for being a white trust fund baby. Looks down that long snout through narrow glasses at anyone not wearing a mask.

Bought the only thing worth going out to eat for is mexican, we've been twice. A couple breakfasts when the guys I'm working with want to go.
Even most lunches I wait till I get home, worked 10 hours straight yesterday on a paver job, didn't want to quit cause it's hard to get started again, wife had a big batch of fajita meat done when I got home.

. . . Every other table was left unoccupied, all the staff wore masks, and they asked customers to wear them till seated. Seemed strange, but I guess they are going gradually back to normal. TRH . . . Did Red Lobster supply a mask to the customers to wear from the lobby to their seats? If not, did they turn away customers who did not have a mask?

White people still eat at red lobster....😀 Places are NASTY around here. I’d sooner eat a “lobster” from a taco truck.

I'm going to catch hell for this but I'm not impressed with lobster as a high dollar meal, I find it fairly tasteless compared to some better fish and if you have to dip it in a sauce to enhance the flavor it's not worth the price. I've eaten it at fancy restaurants from the California coasts down in Cabo and and straight out of the baja running a dive boat. I can eat it but not going to pay a premium for it.

I also don't understand wait staff wearing rubber gloves. You know they ain't changing them after everything they touch, and I'm betting people aren't washing their hands near as often if wearing rubber gloves.
Another feel good measure, thanks Karen

Maybe boiling crawfish style with some Zatarain's liquid seasoning would perk them up.

The rioting terrorists killed the COVID. Probably because they heard that it kills black disproportionately and exponentially.
We've had sushi twice, Mexican twice, and Korean twice since the riots started.
Our daughter graduated yesterday. They lined everyone up - socially distanced, mind you. Then they paraded us through the building to the graduation room. Each graduate was handed the same Diploma case for photos, handed it back to
the teacher in charge, and she handed it to the next graduate.
All of this COVID crap has been nothing more than virtue signalling. One would really have to be slow to continue to think otherwise.

Very relaxed in our area with tables just a bit further apart which makes things more pleasurable.
