• Denny's

    From Daryl Stout@454:1/33 to NANCY BACKUS on Fri Apr 17 09:16:00 2020
    Nancy,

    More likely, like many other Denny's locations, the overall quality of NB>the food was declining, so there were fewer customers....

    There's only one Denny's left in Little Rock...but like so many other restaurants that were dine in only, it's either carry out or delivery
    only (unless they have a drive thru)...otherwise, they've shut down
    until further notice.

    Speaking of drive throughs, saw where a driver lost control and crashed through the entrance -- guess trying to use the inside counter as another in-car pick-up!

    Pretty much the case here... across the board.... We do have a Denny's
    in Henrietta, but I've not noticed whether it's doing takeout/delivery
    or just closed for the duration...

    Nancy,

    in Henrietta, but I've not noticed whether it's doing takeout/delivery
    or just closed for the duration...

    Some restaurants are back open, but with only 33% capacity. Golden Corral
    has changed from a buffet to cafeteria style.

    ... Prune yoghurt - when you need to eat and run!!!

    Just before you prepare for a colonoscopy, no doubt. :P

    Here, restaurants are only open for takeout or curbside still... or, if
    they have patio seating outside, for limited capacity there... Not sure
    when the next phase opens up to let them open inside, or what
    restrictions will be on them at the beginning... Don't know what's
    happening with our local Golden Corral, I don't eat there anyway... :)

    I doubt it would be quite thorough enough, though... they say no milk
    products in the clear liquid phase of the cleanout... :)

    Golden Corral and another restaurant has gone to cafeteria style instead
    of buffet...but it's still all you can eat. Better than nothing, I guess. Arkansas is to move to Phase 2 (67% capacity in restaurants) on June 15.

    The clear liquids do NOT include vodka or white wine, either. Alcohol will dehydrate you and rock your world in a big way. One woman did that, and her heart stopped during the procedure. They had to stop the colonoscopy, hit
    her with the paddles, and after they revived her, told her she'd have to do
    the prep work again, and this time, pay the entire cost of the procedure.

    Our Golden Corral appears to still be closed, as of Sunday, anyway...
    But now that we have reached phase 3, restaurants can be open for indoor eating... just have to be more diligent in sanitizing, tables have to be
    spaced further apart (which might limit capacity), servers/hostesses
    must wear masks... We ate in this week at the restaurant we've been
    getting a weekly takeout from on Sundays... it was lovely... :) I
    noticed that some of our other favorite spots were advertising being
    open as we drove by them on our way home... :)

    Did that go well...? It doesn't appear that our Golden Corral is open
    at all, even as cafeteria style... no cars anywhere at all in the
    parking lot, no signs of being open.... not that we eat there, anyway...

    And some of the places we thought had finally opened are only doing it
    for takeout, and limited hours... guess it's not just the customers that
    are leary of eat-in....

    They cancelled out, due to health issues, which was fine, as I had
    insomnia the night before, and didn't sleep well. I have to go out to
    the Post Office Box this morning, and might go out there to check it
    out. But, with rain and thunderstorms moving toward central Arkansas
    from the south, I'm going to be limited on time. I'd rather leave the
    BBS up until the last minute, as it were.

    And some of the places we thought had finally opened are only doing it

    Some cities have signed orders requiring folks to wear masks in public places. Children under 12, those driving vehicles, or with certain
    medical issues, are exempt from it.

    We've been encouraged to wear some sort of face covering almost from the beginning... my sister made a lot of them for family and friends... we
    managed without for quite a while, but then there was a new mandate
    saying that everyone needed to wear one when in public when not able to
    do the 6' social distancing... so we got a couple masks each from my
    sister after all... Driving a private vehicle one doesn't need to wear
    one, children under 4 are exempt, or where medical issues override...
    It's still somewhat voluntary, but various places require it now, like
    grocery and other stores... Servers in restaurants are required to wear
    them, in order to open for (limited) eat-in, as are customers when not
    sitting at the tables to eat...

    They have similar laws here...and now, it's a statewide executive order.
    As for the masks, I got mine from a square dance vendor. While $20 each, they're washable and reusable...and a 3XL square dance shirt is more than
    twice the cost of one mask!!

    Ours was a statewide executive order to begin with... And actually it

    The ones my sister made are also washable and reusable... and she gave

    I saw one mask where there is a hole through if for a drinking straw. But, your mouth has to be wider than that to eat. :P

    I saw my late father's alma mater, the University Of Miami, in Coral Gables, Florida, has masks with the "U" logo. And, I've also seen them with dachshunds.
