We really had a hankerin' for Chinese food tonight. It's been so long, staying in and cooking every night, so we decided to give this local place under new management a try. Had walked by last night and took a look-see. Place was empty, just staff sitting around, absorbed in their cellphones, waiting for call-ins for deliveries and pick-ups; that's all they ever do anyway, even before Covid.
But the couple of people working were wearing masks, even though they wern't doing anything, no customers. So that looked promising. Took another gander through the window tonight. Same sitch, so we went in and got a menu to take home. Made our choice and called it in.
Moseyed over to pick up just in time to see the lady at the register counter pull her mask down to pinch her nostrils, sniff, and wipe. Mask back on. Delivery guy also had mask off, wearing it as a chin-guard, scratching his face. We didn't even go in. When we got home, I thought I should call to cancel the order and tell her why. She squawked "But food is ready!" I told her what I saw and that's why we were cancelling and would never return. A deadly pandemic must be taken more serously than THAT.
She shrieked "Fuck you!" and hung up, yet proceeded to call a few more times. Didn't answer. What for? And why would you ever order food from them? read more
