Take-out business soaring at Dallas restaurants in spite of reopened dining room
The article is behind a paywall, so I don’t expect everyone to read it, but that is the headline from the notoriously liberal Dallas Morning News. Would you like to hazard a guess as to why the “opening” isn’t blowing the doors off everywhere? The 25% (or 50%) threshold isn’t profitable and the OWNERS DON’T FEEL SAFE!
Now, what might make them feel safe? Maybe testing and contact tracing? Nah, that’s Orwell taking away muh freedoms. People are not going to dive back in (unless they have to) until that happens.
It’s anecdotal, but I was on a call with our local office this week (national consulting firm) and our GM put up a poll relating to when people want to come back to the office (or go to a client’s office.) it was 1-5 scale, with 1 being “Nope” and 5 being “Save me a seat.” There were around 150 people on the call - 66% selected 1 and 19% selected 2 - nobody with any options is going anywhere. Bunch of liberal IT consultants I guess.
As many have said, you are out of your element, so just stop.
