I had to give my first name and phone # to the waitress at my favorite diner the other day when I went in for lunch. There were only two other tables of customers. No touristas around yet. We have no cases here. So I'm not real worried about it. But WHY are they making life so difficult for restaurants when we can go in and spread our germs in the grocery store and mini mart and Dollar Store and THEY don't require our name and phone #. It's like they hate restaurants or something.
Weren't you defending Janet Mills' orders the other week?
And I've cooperated with them, I see the sense in most of them. Does it make sense to you that they ask for our name and phone # at a restaurant but not in the store? They have half the seating blocked off so customers are seated far apart from each other. The wait staff are masked. So what is this added hoop for?
As you said here. Why would you cooperate any further?
It's not my place to determine if an Order is sensible. Well, I can decide if I think it's sensible, but it doesn't give me the right to ignore it. It's still an Order and like I already said, if it makes life easier for the contact tracers, I'm glad to help. My question is, WHY JUST RESTAURANTS? Maybe there IS a good reason why restaurants seem to be getting singled out for this treatment. I know my hairdresser didn't ask for my phone # and she was a lot closer to me for longer than the waitress at my diner.
Maybe a lot of the clusters they've discovered came from restaurants before they closed? I don't remember hearing that, but I suppose it could be. What do I know?
