(15,794 posts)You mask up going in and then take them off when seated. You put it back on when you leave. Is that really safe?

(10,429 posts)I always thought that was defeating the whole purpose, and it's why I got a lot of take-out until after being vaxxed for a couple months.
I still sit outside most of the time, and won't go to small or crowded places.

Wearing a mask while walking through a restaurant is safer for everyone than not.
Its really not that difficult of a concept.

(17,912 posts)My I suggest...take out? Even here in relatively safe New England, and even though we've both been vaxed since March, we're thinking seriously about going the take out only route again. Thinking about it anyways.

(12,653 posts)Booths 6 ft apart, tall plexiglass barriers , open air seating, and elongated tables where the servers can set down and pick up plates without getting too close.
While risky, it's less risky than having to go to a lab for blood work or to a clinic for a medical procedure or check up, which is something many of us have to do, COVID or no.
Just commenting, not recommending.
I hate Anti-vaxxers. We had plans for a birthday dinner this month, but thanks to Delta, that's not going to happen.

(26,327 posts)My favorite restaurant in Chicago had reduced seating, plexiglass between booths, masking when ordering/not seated - as well as the wait/buss staff being masked.
That seemed like a reasonable accommodation.
We went out once in a very liberal part of Michigan and the care was less than stellar. They were supposed to separate tables but it appeared they grouped everyone together for their convenience - most of the restaurant was empty and they had six tables grouped/occupied in one section. Rey annoying.

Sit at table with mask on, until food is ordered and delivered.
Take mask off to eat.
Put mask on, when finished eating.
Exit with mask on.
That's how I understood it.

(2,355 posts)It's mostly back to "business as usual", depending on the restaurant/owner.
With a parent who's on immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma (even though COVID immunized), we're likely back to take-out only, now that Delta is rearing its ugly head.
I just started a grad program at Duke and Duke requires all students to be vaxxed (already was), but just announced last week that everyone who's in a building on campus must wear a mask. Again, with the alarming rise of Delta, I'm wondering if/how long we'll remain on-campus or return to the remote learning format that they used for the last 18 months of my degree program (via Zoom).

(45,442 posts)I wouldn't do it so I still get takeout or sit outdoors. Not every restaurant has that option.

(7,341 posts)They're the ones who have to clean up after spreaders and are in direct contact where their mouths were. Like most essential workers they also are on the blunt receiving end of verbal abuse by the self-entitled.

(5,275 posts)Very creative but sad that owners need to make the situation clear.
Fauci was 100% correct that if right wing media had been around in the 50s wed still be dealing with polio and measles. They have created a false separate reality that millions of people bought into.

We have some restaurants in DC area that are requiring proof of vaccination to dine inside, I am happy to see that happening and like this restaurant's attitude. Know where it is located?

We encourage free expression, but don't allow false information about COVID-19 that could contribute to physical harm.
don't understand how this is misinformation that could cause physical harm but.... whatever

on edit again: fb jail -- just got a notice that i can't post or comment for 24 hours because my post didn't meet community standards. honestly, i thought clicking the X would delete the meme. i guess it just deleted the warning and went ahead and posted it anyway. (omg!)
