I happened to be on Yelp looking at a restaurant review. It was a favorite restaurant of ours, but it sold to a new owner a year ago, and the food has not been as good. So I decided to just look at what others said about the food after the ownership change. This little gem popped up. I did not expect this!!
This reviewer was upset because the person was not wearing a mask “properly” OUTSIDE while getting a curbside order. She is right, she doesn’t post reviews very often. A total of 2 reviews in 10 years. But felt the need to post this one. Refuses to go back to this restaurant because “it is not worth the risk”.
Oh, and this is “not written out of anger, it is written out of fear”.
We did carry out from this restaurant a lot during 2020. They did an impeccable job of keeping the dining room open for those who chose dine in, and had a great curbside pick up option where there was little to no human contact if you decided to go that route. (For the record, we did mostly carry out from everywhere even before the pandemic, it is just easier and faster).
This is how far we decayed in 2020. We would take the time to write a negative review of a mom and pop restaurant, because their mask wearing was not up to this reviewers standards. Never mentioned the food, just that the rest of the world should know that their masking was not up to this reviewers standards.
Lord have mercy.
They say a photo is worth 1000 words well so is the review you posted. It tells volumes. So, so sad. We have all learned so much about human nature these past few years that those erstwhile questions about how on earth did Germany descend into Nazism have been well and truly answered.
I would look for reviews like this and frequent these businesses in 2020 and beyond. If someone was that concerned why bother eating out. Have they never seen what goes on in restaurant kitchens?! But they are worried about someone handing them a bag of food outside unmasked. Just exemplifies how ridiculous all that BS was, none of it based in reality and how many bought into the propaganda. We saw people come in restaurants and sit there with masks on and only pull them down to drink or eat. As if that was actually going to matter.
