Gerrard174 700 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 34 minutes ago, Yes To Heaven said: Random question, but is keeping bars open really important right now considering we should all be still social distancing whereas bars and clubs are quite the opposite of that? This is a legit question as in my mind this is more on the dangerous side than anything. I know many people who go to clubs and bars and think Covid is not dangerous, and since they already had it, that they can not infect others so they go about their regular party lifestyle with little precautions. People who operate and works at bars need to earn a living too. Closing them, how can they survive? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's seated areas with distancing in place and they can operate like a restaurant with time limits per table then I guess that's fine but no doubt there's some places that are using selling food as a way to get around the rules and not enforcing guidelines, With alcohol involved that's a very risky thing to do. I agree with this assessment. Most places I have been to have been able to limit capacity and keep tables six feet apart. One I know of does not allow people to sit at the actual bar, only at the tables. Unfortunately there are other establishments who are taking no precautions; it is those thay ruin it for the good ones (like always). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Walmart can be open, I damn well deserve to go to a bar and have a beer. The guidelines about which places can be open and which cannot are so misguided and unfairly target places like this. You keep your mask on at Walmart (hopefully). No one’s going drinking at a bar and keeping it on. A better comparison would be to sit down restaurants, though neither are really safe anyway.

But, I know my experience is not the norm since I'm actively avoiding places that I know don't enforce any kind of safety measures. (And yes, my mask never leaves my face if im about town) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gothicdream 39,655 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Truthfully I don't think any activity that requires the removal of masks should be allowed right now. Even if you're distancing, we know being indoors without a mask is a recipe for spread. And some studies have indicated 6 feet of distancing should really be more like 25. I also totally understand the plight of business owners and hospitality employees, and the government should be doing more to help. Our social welfare and safety net systems need a complete overhaul so we're not having to choose between putting people out of business or killing them. But the reality is, the problem will continue to get worse and proper reopenings will be delayed even further if we don't make sacrifices in the shorter term.

Kadikaado 4,302 Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Serving fast food at places like this is so improvised, they could do better. If I owned a gay nightclub, I'd turn it into a healthy eating place. I'd make an open kitchen and hire a REAL HANDSOME chef I'd hire the gogoboys as waiters - mask on and shirtless - fetish masks would be a +. I'd serve healthy food that gym people like, like yam, sweet potatoes, chicken breast - most people attending gay parties are concerned about "health"(appearance and weight). A hot shirtless DJ playing songs all night Maybe even a drag show people can watch while having their meals. Turn tables into VIP areas, so people can have their meals and dance with their friends. "Mail service" you can send a message to a hot guy in the other tables, maybe a gogoboy dressed as cupid, so you can flirt with and keep the social distance. These places need creativity to survive. Serving frozen food is just bad idea. The pandemic is here and it's gonna stay for a good while, so everyone needs to adapt. Nightclubs won't work for another year, so just turn into a restaurant in the meanwhile. Learn what your clients want. If your clients want healthy food, then serve healthy food, if they want mexican food, get lots of hot latinos to serve them the best nacho ever! Soups are not that hard too. MASKS CAN BE A FETISH! You can use it in your favor! I am authistic, so don't be offended if I make a mess sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
