It did feel a bit weird going out to a restaurant for the first time in nearly six months. Everyone wearing masks, tables far apart, plus all the wait staff acting both happy to be working again and tenuous towards the customers. I mean, sure, they’re back to work but they’re still making the same shitty pay they were making before the pandemic. Now they run the risk of catching a virus that could lay them out for days, possibly ending up in a hospital (or worse) for what. Low pay, tips and no health coverage?

Well, the weather will begin to get colder and the opportunity to dine outside wont be an option, so our restaurant trips will be over.
