13384304, No, but several of my restaurant's regulars are showing their asses

One guy was in the retail side of our shop ranting about how this never would have happened in the 60s, we'd have just got naked as we pleased, taken out our guitars, posted up our protest signs and gotten the hell on with life.

Another BCC'd our executive chef into an email chain about the Plandemic "documentary" with no explanation just the link in the body and the subject line "Important...please pass along".

Some city officials have been in for "happy hour" (we don't offer that currently, so we just give them even cheaper wine than they normally get so it still works out to $5 a glass) and joked that I could take the mask and gloves off around them, they know the drill. Like, what?

A couple people have sat down, then got up and left after explaining to them why I wear the mask and gloves, why we are only printing food menus then asking for drink preferences / requiring food to be ordered before offering alcoholic beverages, etc. Others have just plain opened with, "Hey, you're kind of scaring us, could you just take that stuff off?"

MOST people have been very cool, and especially most regulars, but after two months of basically living in a bubble of managing takeout/delivery orders while the streets are empty outside then going immediately home to a dark apartment and bottle of whiskey, it's been wild A) how quickly downtown filled back up with people and B) how immediately some people expect things to be completely normal because the Governor said restaurants and parks can re-open.
