Insurance doesn't cover loss from virus but fire is a different story

I normally can't stand being around people. But getting good and liquored up then enjoying breakfast at 3 in the morning in a diner full of other drunk people is surprising fun!

I thought they closed their doors for COVID.

If so, it caught fire when nobody was working?

The lady that owns it has family money. She is a nice lady but her husband is a prick.

I always noticed I smelled like mel's every time after leaving there. The kitchen ventilation was bad.

Hub city diner had more talent but closed too early.

Last the news reported was that the video showed it was a malfunctioning grill. Fire started one hour after last employee left.



Is that how it happened, Mel?

That’s called a Friction Fire - when the insurance policy rubs against the mortgage.
