What about indoor dining in grocery stores?

Separate HVAC?

I didn't think so.

Setting aside the usual dull you're-anxious/you're-reckless routine: Does sporking up macaroni salad out of a tub at a plastic table next to a cart rack qualify for the word "dining"?

I mean why go into a store ever? A covid spore can attach to your hair and then detach and go in your nose when you get home and then boom, you got the 'rona. Too risky. Just never leave home, that's the best way to live.

You're trolling, right?

I did this a couple months ago. I survived.

Our Whole Foods (Bethesda) doesn't have indoor dining. So you can go there. I don't think any Trader Joe's have indoor dining.

Why would anyone want to eat in a grocery store??!??

Restaurants I understand, but to risk Covid for a Whole Foods slice of pizza is pretty sad.

It's not much of a risk if the seating area is empty. Sometimes employees are eating. Sometimes people feel like a hot snack before shopping. Sometimes people only have $4.

I personally can’t wait until Wegmans reopens indoor dining. I think the buffets will take a while to come back though. That was part of why I love going to Wegmans!

Maybe this is the next issue the school-opening yellers are going to move to. "Lukewarm sesame noodles in a linoleumed warehouse NOW!!!"

I don't get piling-on people that are very cautious. It's not hurting anyone. It's not creating more covid spread.

Just let them be.

There becomes a point at which paranoia and misinformation are dangerous. Are we there yet with this post, no. But it's a slippery slope and that's what people are responding to I think.

You’ve clearly never eaten at a Wegman’s food bar, or even at a Whole Foods food bar. I have no idea when or if I will eat at a buffet / food bar again. But I have been seriously missing those spinach soufflé thingies from Wegman’s.

On the other side, those of you who either have time to cook, mad cooking skills, or a spouse or family member to do the cooking for you really could do some thinking before you post.
