Yeah its just the thought of actually walking the aisles and thinking of things you forgot on the list or should not have been on the list but you want anyway LOL
On our drive last evening I noticed lots of people lined up ( most with good distancing outside a couple of restaurants, and see so many posting about the take out they have got, I know so many restaurants may be struggling but some seem to be doing good business, just not from us lOL
Yes, that's shopping as I know it - short list, but the cart is full of goods, except for the things that were written on the shopping list.
Here you have to reserve a table beforehand and can come with a maximum of 3 adult people at the same time. Children don't count. In the restaurant there is a large gap between the tables and only the waiters wear masks - masks would be quite uncomfortable for guests when eating. I also don't think I'll be visiting a restaurant anytime soon.
Ohh yeah thats the same with me, even worse when I shop with my stepson when I visit them, the grandson is very good at sneaking things he wants into our shopping cart, not that I ever mind
Ohh yeah eating in a mask would be a challenge, I think they are talking about when they open here restaurants can open at one quarter of their normal capacity, fine for big restaurants but will be hard for small ones I would assume
Shopping with children is always funny - I remember that we have sometimes bought things we have never put into the shopping cart. But that was never anything expensive, just sweets or little toys which we had bought them anyway if they asked :)
Yes, it is going to be really hard for the small restaurants and shops - I think when they have to keep distances between the tablesin the restaurants it might be about two thirds or a quarter of their space here too. We don't have many big restaurants - most are smaller and this will be very hard for some I think.
I do feel for the restaurant owners, I think take out and curbside pickup may well be more popular than dining out for a while yet
I think, many of them will have to change their way of working, at least for a while until the danger to get infected is not that big anymore, and sooner or later I think we all will get used to a new normality.
Sadly I suspect its going to be a year or so of a new reality and everyone will have to adjust, but time will tell we just have to hope for the best
A year is a very optimistic thinking in my eyes, but there are so many meanings around, and yes, let's hope for the best for all of us.
