/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Yes. And it’s been that way for months.

Yes, I really don't understand the universal policy that you have to wear a mask while walking around but you can just take it off as long as you sit at your table but that's government policy baby

>>15290656
Not at the moment.

I've tried to support a few of the local family run establishments near to where I live by ordering meals to go now and then, but I've not been inside one since this bullshit started.

As for the large chain restaurants, they can piss off.

No because I live in bumfuck nowhere and there's no restaurants nearby

No because I'm not a big fat loser who cant cook

>>15290709
But apparently you are illiterate

>>15290700
You don't? While sitting at a table you are restricted to the 1.5m distancing. While walking around there are frequent opportunities to briefly pass within that radius of other people, and you will often do it unconsciously or find yourself in situations where it's necessary. Pretty simple.

>>15290656
No

Nope. Locked down mate.

Not been in a restaurant or coffee shop since February.

>>15290710
Ok fatty fatty two by 4 cant fit thru the kitchen door i did answer the question I literally can't eat in a restaurant because I'm not a big fat broke loser

>>15290656
Yeah there are hundreds of restaurants now that told the government to eat shit and have been doing indoor dining since the second lockdown started

>>15290680
Sounds like a bad idea given how fucked Texas hospitals are.

>>15290774
Aren't the hospitals empty?

>>15290727
people are absolutely tipping more per order, its just less tips overall because of less sales overall, such bullshit framing

if you eat inside the restaurant you're marked for death but eat inside of one of these on the sidewalk & you're COVID safe

Yes. We even have buffets still going.

Muskoka-Simcoe region in Ontario here
Before the holidays we could have up to 10 people in a restaurant
Now it's back to take-out only

>>15290715
This is untrue, you frequently have to deal with your waitress and other patrons walking past your table, but please go on about how this is not the case.

>>15290727
Made up stats for 1000, trebek

25% capacity and closes at 9:30

>>15290774
Bruh I've been to Texas hospitals in different cities 4 times this year and they're fucking deserted. Dont believe stuff just because the news or some thot nurse said so.

>>15291083
Everything is pretty normal here except for no buffets either. I really miss the schnucks salad bar too.

The regulations are so ridiculous and inconsistent that I have a hard time seeing them as anything but a deliberate attack on entertainment and small business.

>>15291242
The real issues is that politicians have no fucking clue what they're doing. As a whole, they're divided on the choice between political gains and truth. There has been 0 top-down authority on the matter and so each state has been left up to their own devices. That's why there's such a divide across the board: rural to urban, dense to sparse. Everybody is fucking guessing and trying to minimize political retribution rather than listen to those who know.

Public "service" doesn't exist anymore. It's all just a means for these fucks to enrich themselves no matter the cost.

>>15291221
Dude, no need to make up stories. Just say it's all a hoax so we clearly know you.

>>15291242
>people can walk in restaurants anytime for takeout
>have a table in the corner since 5 person seating limit
>barbershops are closed and have to make an appointment and go to the barbers house to get a haircut

>>15290727
I wish it was a 100% decline permanently

>>15291283
Are you saying there's no reason anyone could possibly have to go to the hospital 4 times in one year? If you really want to know it's because
>1 concussion
>follow up head scan for the concussion
>1 car accident
>1 baby born

>>15291272
I just fear that if it lasts too much longer, all the wholesome things that friends and family are supposed to go out and do together will go out of business and all we have left is internet and Netflix. It seems like some sort of evil plot to make everyone miserable.

Well, at least its only 14 days right :^)

I live in La Grande, Oregon which is bumfuck nowhere and all our shit was open until like a month ago
Also Kate Brown is a cunt

>>15290656
nope, and probably not until late 2021 either but there probably won't be restaurants to go to anymore at this point

>>15290656
Yeah. Wisconsin.

>>15290727
>harassment
bitch do you want the tip or not

>>15290656
Im part of the Australian movement for mandatory vaccinations.

To other Australians, do DON'T:
- Get to risk my life or my children's lives not getting the vaccine
- Get to invent science

You WILL:
- Get the vaccine
- Get the phone tracking app
- Comply with law enforcement and the vaccine centers

The laws are going to be changed soon.

low-key racism isnt okay (blacks)

>>15291199
Easy to prevent, but maybe the restaurant owners in your part of the world are just as stupid as you.

>>15291221
texas hospital in BFE west texas is not a texas hospital in Austin or Houston
rural areas are usually less impacted because the virus requires human contact for transmission
what they don't have is the medical infrastructure that major cities do

>>15291242
Because it literally is. Tech and social media giants realized how much people rely on them during lockdowns and how much money they make from it. You really think they're not using their power and influence to keep the lockdowns going so they can milk some more profits?

>>15290760

My work is one of those restaraunts that said "go fuck yourself" and the two massive newspapers from our county did a story on how brave our owner is for telling the government to fuck off.

Its been fucking insane, its a fine dining restaraunt and we are selling out our entire walk in every day we're gonna need to buy a second smoker just to keep up with how much business we've been getting because we're one of the few restaraunts that are doing indoor dining, most places aren't even doing outdoor dining.

>you are restricted to the 1.5m distancing.
Illusion of safety. It can travel to more than 8m and stay on surface for more than 17 days. Everything is contaminated, everything is a fomite.
