It’s a bring a friend, pretty much a buy one, get one free type deal…
My local store has lines around the drive thru and wall to wall standing room only when it happens…
about every weeks… I havent been paying attention, but my son loves a good coffee shake as a reward…
Lately we have been hitting the local college hang out’s drive thru, at least there, its masks and gloves and once a transaction is done, new gear… the owner is a personal friend. Sad to say tho, restaurants are not really meant for drive thru only… skeleton crews and because of that, typically slower than normal.
That’s nice for YOU, think your missing the point of this thread. YOU a have the choice to take whatever chance you want. Essential Workers do NOT have the choice. I got laid off due to Corvid19 and am entitled to unemployment, If I had Quit due to stress or fears I would not qualify for benefits.
Ya gotta feel some sympathy for the workers that are taking chances with no choice in the matter so you can have a cup of joe!
Swallow that
I dunno if Natbone is an essential or a non… but at least he has his mask…
Yes it is a fine spot we all are in… they keep saying “till a cure is found”
If we can not cure the common cold, what makes anyone think there is a cure?
Vaccinate, maybe… but since it is so new… a few more mutations and if they can peg it right… maybe?
That’s true and I agree 100%. I’m considered ‘essential’ but am not in retail or manufacturing. But I do work from home full time and won’t likely encounter the situation OP is discussing. Healthcare workers are obviously deserving of much respect for what they do, but we really can’t forget the retail employees. You could easily say “They can just quit”, but a lot of them really can’t. Bills are still due, after all. These folks are also heroes in a way; keeping life as normal as possible for people during this lock down phase.
I had no say on whether or not the Dunkin Donuts, or any establishment, is kept open. If I didn’t go there, they’d still be open. So, despite your clumsy attempt to guilt me, I don’t.
How do you know what choices I face? You’re quite presumptive.

You can respond to the OP with your thoughts about this topic, thats what he / she question is “Whats your thoughts” I really don’t care what your thoughts are, I didn’t ask the question. So I’d appreciate it if you don’t direct your snippets at My post.
This happened to me but the opposite effect. At the beginning of this thing I had just returned to work from vacation. I get a call from my boss telling me to quarantine for 2 weeks because a staffer at a home where I transport people said they had contact with a positive person. To be on the safe side, all drivers who pick up at that home were asked to quarantine, 6 in all. That was a Friday. Come Monday we were all notified that work was closing down the next day. I still wanted to know if I had in fact come in contact with this person. No information was available to my boss. Then about a week later he finds out that this staffer denied the whole story! &$^%# I was bullshit! That staffer had 6 people quarantined, wondering if they had infected their family, scared out of our minds. I hope that person got fired. I had no food in my house at the time and no one else who could drive to the store. I could go on but I won’t. I guess this opened a can of worms for me.
Lol ladies and gents…, this whole COVID19 shit is for the birds… @muth- I believe that’s what this guy was doing, but when he got told from HR not to come in for 2 weeks things were a little different…, I thought from what I’ve read is that your test has to be sent off for like 2 weeks🤨 well Friday night, he text another guy from a total different department and he told him that his lady got tested & she didn’t have anything… sounds to me like he was just trying to get a few extra days off, & now he’s realizing that he needs that money
