We ate out 90% of the time before all this

I'm enjoying eating at home so maybe we'll keep it up for a while

Yes. If you've eaten take out at all during this shutdown, you've been just as exposed to the workers contaminating your food as you would be dining in.

Would I go? Probably not because everywhere would be crazy busy.

I wouldn't be scared to get sick.

They are opening in Knoxville Friday as well, but with capacity restrictions. I'm sure there will be a massive wait, so no, not at first.

I'm amazed at the lines at fast food joints.

Not even a global pandemic can keep Americans away from grease.

I'll admit that preparing food at home every day is a chore. I'll likely get takeout one or two time per week, but I'll still be limiting unnecessary exposure to larger groups of humans for at least a couple of months.

We are not ending the lockdown because the disease is no longer dangerous or because the threat is over.

We are doing it because it is time for more Americans to get sick. I may eventually get sick, but I'm going to try to avoid it within reason. It's a thus far unpredictable disease course, and I like spending time with my older at-risk parents. They need the attention.

The Popeyes by me has had lines for three weeks that were similar to when the chicken sandwich craze was happening.

Good luck getting your waitstaff and kitchen back to work when they can just sit at home and make $800 a week on top of their stimulus checks

People love chicken...it's comfort food and it's cheap.

Poor fatties love cheap comfort food when you can feed a family of 4 for $27.99

I would not go only because at 25% capacity the wait is going to be insane. If I could get a reservation somewhere, I would.

Yes. Without a doubt I'd go eat in a restaurant tomorrow.

The longer this goes on the more we see what bullshite this is. Hospitals are in financial trouble because they can't fill beds, yet we're staying at home as our immune systems become less effective. For what? This is bullshite and JBE is fricking milking it for more federal dollars.

Do you go in grocery stores?

I wouldn’t have a problem going out because of the Rona, the issue is that most will only be at less than half capacity. As much as I’d love to go eat in a restaurant, I’m not sitting in line. I’ll order to go and go enjoy it somewhere.

Sounds like outdoor seating will be available in Louisiana, I will most likely be dining out on Friday.

This is the exact reasons things SHOULD open up sooner.

Even when things are "open", the ramp up is going to be a slow process for

1) businesses to get supplies and employees on board
2) get used to new rules in place
3) customers to come in enough numbers to justify it

so every week lost is just another week behind. rip the fricking bandaid off and let's go
