I have seen the light and pledge to stay out of strip joints for the next two weeks.


Either you aren't working where you said you were, or have developed an uncharacteristic obsession for fat girls and seal blubber .

Better get back to Texas ASAP .
lol. The nearest strip joint is a 500 mile plane ride (no roads) to Anchorage. Its an easy pledge to keep. I was just hoping to inspire others.


Unless there is a strip club full of gals with Daddy issues.....consider me permanently inspired .

Every strip club is full of gals with daddy issues.

My wife and I ate at a Tex Mex restaurant yesterday for lunch. It's usually full. It was maybe 1/4 full. Learned our waiter is married with three kids. It was one of the better tips I've left.

A friend who lives in Vegas told me on Friday that it is becoming a ghost town. Most workers there rely on tip income. Be generous whenever the opportunity arises if you can afford it.

Order it as take out and still give a good tip. No need potentially exposing some kid who will take it to his or her kid or mom or grand ma.

The only people with that kind of money are billionaires. Right?

If you are 65 or over and immune compromised, stay out of restaurants. If you are healthy and under 65, enjoy yourself. Live your life. As much as the economy killers will let you. Patronize the restaurants that are still open so your cooks and servers can keep feeding their kids. Go to the movies if they are open so the college kids working there can pay tuition. Go to church and pray for those who can't attend. Go to work so you can feed your own family and pay your mortgage.
Live your life. What about the lives of those in your first sentence?

Calling people economy killers is a cheap bull**** shot at those who are acting with regard for the health of others, not just themselves. Yes there will be lost jobs and and businesses. The more Americans choose to socially distance themselves the smaller the problem will be. And of course, then you and others can come out and say "I told you so". FIne.

Go online and buy a gift certificate from your local restaurant or movie theater. Work from home if you can; our office has made even the paralegals set up for remote work.
The cost benefit analysis disagrees with you. The people shutting down the economy and sending hourly workers home to fend for themselves with little to no savings and kids for many, doesn't add up. It's not a cheap shot. It's an accurate assessment.

If Americans could actually avoid restaurants and bars for a couple weeks it would go a loooooong way to getting this under control. But so far, I don't think that's happening at all.
It is where I live.

The weekend is the only time we eat out. Got take out twice instead of dine in, it was very quiet both times. Very few people sitting down eating.

Not a ghost town, but not close to normal.

Lines at the drive thru are a lot longer than usual. I carry Lysol wipes in the car (a habit I got into with my kid/droolbot) and wipe down the debit card and cup.

Yes, we should. If not, they may not be here six months from now. The restaurant business is hard enough in good times!
