Current Events > Have you eaten in a restaurant since the pandemic started?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Have you?

---

One time a few months back, didn't feel comfortable and haven't done it since

---

yes, couple times

---

Yeah plenty of times outdoor dining, few times indoor but everytime we did indoor made sure we were plenty spaced away from anyone else.

---

Restaurants shouldn't be allowed to offer indoor dining. There's no excuse for anyone to eat inside a restaurant. We're simply not there yet.

Only once and that was because it was a wedding.

When they reopened here in Calgary I did eat out a couple times. Still had regulations to follow, which was fine with me.

Closed back down after a while because Albertans are a joke. Now I just order delivery. Even get my groceries online

---

I have been to a couple that had spacious outdoor seating, otherwise it's been mostly just takeout.

---

Mostly takeout. Went to a couple sit down restaurants last month but I wasnt very comfortable.

---

I'm a food delivery person so I go into restaurants constantly to grab take out orders.

I've still never eaten inside yet though.

I've eaten outside at a restaurant twice since the start of the pandemic.

I've gotten my own take out orders countless times.

I do plan to finally eat inside a restaurant within the next month or two. I have a few very low key places in mind where I know the place wouldn't be crowded and I'd have more than enough space between me and the next group.

Honestly, unless you have a major vulnerability to covid or someone you come into contact often does (like immunocompromised stuff) you should be looking to dip your toes in the water at this point. It has been a year and I don't think anyone can deny the negative effects of isolation anymore. Still try to be covid safe, but get out a little to ease off the tension from the isolation.

I've been growing increasingly annoyed by haed left wing people who still to this day think we should be shut down. I mean, no reason to remove mask mandates or anything like that, but people need to try and lice their lives at this point.

Twice

First time it was a small dinner and we were the only ones inside. It started to fillup so we packed up and left

Last Friday, another empty place

---

No, I've done plenty of delivery, drive thrus, a few curbside pickups, and maybe a couple where I had to go in to pickup my food--but haven't actually dined inside yet.

At this point I'd be willing to go for it if it was a big place with plenty of space, but opportunity hasn't really been there and I kind of like being able to just eat restaurant food at home. >_>

---

Once.

Technically a ton of times since I work at one and get a discount but that is alone in the break room.

---

Just fast food, not a real restaurant with servers and such

Several occasions but nowhere busy and Ive turned away and gone somewhere else if a place looks too crowded

---

When they first opened back up here, no one was actually in them. You'd essentially have an entire restaurant tou yourself. I was much more comfortable with it back then. Now, not so much. Regulations slowly went out the window over time and they're packed again.

---

what is the dif between multiple times and a couple times`?

Only twice vs three+

---

On a patio, not inside

---

No, I've only been through drive-thrus and had delivery.

---

Twice, both of which were firsts for me.

A work friend invited me out to lunch, I kept postponing hoping they'd eventually forget. They didn't. So I relented and went. I had a nice time though. First time actually going out and doing anything with a friend ever.

For my birthday last year my brother took me to do an escape room. First time ever doing anything special for my birthday too. I would've rather just done the escape room, but they also took me to dinner.

I try to never dine in anyway, I find it uncomfortable. These two times were exceptions and unfortunately bad timing too.

Pretty sure this is a troll post. In my state 25% of the state is already vaccinated, and telling businesses to go one year without indoor dining would have 100% shut down the industry entirely.

That has nothing to do with anything lol.

---

Had a date last week, but we're both vaccinated, wouldn't have gone out otherwise.

---

Once or twice.

But I've worked every shift as usual since last March as a Bartender lol.

---

A handful of times

---

nope and dont plan to anytime soon.

---

2 times I think

---

One time and I was heavily against it. My good friend come home out the military and a couple of us went out to eat. I was shutting it down but he was begging me. I mean, he is in the military. I might not see him again. I felt that I at least owed him that much.

---

A couple times at places that had outdoor seating away from everyone.

---

twice, but both times were outside on a patio. not dining indoors until im vaccinated.

---

never in restaurants. have bought sandwiches at supermarket but that doesn't count.
prefer to eat at home where i'm not around possible infection sites.

safeway has a kickass turkey sandwich for 9$ but i only buy those once a month.
---

Twice

both times only 1 other table had people at it
