Good to know. makes me feel better for not using that crap. Curbside take out is the best.

No, the best is when my wife cooks.

If you can pick up yourself, it’s better for the businesses. The restaurants are at the mercy of a lot of these delivery services. It’s quite a racket because they get money from both the restaurant, delivery drivers and the service charge they sometimes tack on.

How expensive/bad for business would it be to have your own delivery services?

We were thinking about that, but we don’t have enough deliveries to justify having someone just doing deliveries.

Good news for Oregon is that food carts will rule big time....the mall might close but the Oregon Country Fair might be open 7 days a week all year round...parking lots will become the new malls

Yeah damn shame they destroyed the largest food cart pod in the state to build a Ritz Carlton

I've been using Costco's free delivery. For small stuff (I mean Costco's version of small things, lol) Just yesterday I had delivered a 12 pack of the Albacore Kirkland canned tuna. It came UPS.

They’re tuna is the best canned stuff you’ll find. Easily.

It's delicious!

Also, try their marinated tri tip if you haven’t already

I know nothing about the restaurant business other than TV shows (so nothing). Is it at all feasible to have an employee trained to do deliveries and when there are no deliveries have other functions they can serve?

finger lickin' good!

Paved paradise and put up a parking lot.

Macy’s Plans to Reopen All of Its 775 Stores in 6 to 8 Weeks
The chain’s plans also brought into sharper focus what the pandemic-era shopping experience may look like.

Ive only been using those places the last couple of days because I've been on vicodin so I can't drive.

Otherwise I always go in and do take out.

It doesn’t have to be man made to be in that lab. FYI

I was talking about the conspiracy theory that it was man made as a weapon.

Well, it started out as 2.2M, then it became 100-240k, then Fauci said 60k, then they've kinda meandered back up to 100-240k. Still, though the experts have been wrong a lot in this, which is bound to happen because predicting the future is hard.
At the very high end of there current predictions, it's .07% of the population could die from this. That's a lot of people, and it's definitely bad, but I believe there is a lot of media and politics going into this making it sound like the apocalypse or it's nothing (depends on who you want to listen too) when it's neither, and also if we had any chance of herd immunity to it we've definitely squandered that and made the likelihood it'll come back greater because we did a half baked stay-at-home thing. Which is really where I think this has been handled incorrectly. The way we've handled it has made sure it's going to be something to deal with for longer than it needed to be.

I wouldn't call 240 thousand dead and Millions infected much of a success story. Nor would I call all the unemployment and being confined to my home much of a success story.
No, there is nothing in this that makes Trump look any more than a bumbling idiot who has motives that horrifically harm our country.
I have often compared the Trump administration to the Three Stooges. In another forum the moderator told me that I was insulting the Three Stooges.

I’m all for a fast track for vaccines, but it has to be safe. There was a time I remembered reading when the vaccine had a major side effect that hurt a lot of Americans. I can’t remember where I read it though, but I want to say it was around the 70s.

It's not a vaccine but thalidomide seems to fit your scenario.

 

[crandc]

It's not a vaccine but thalidomide seems to fit your scenario.

When people protest testing of drugs in animals I suggest they ask thalidomide babies how they feel about untested drugs.

Over a million infected. 62,000 dead Americans and counting. 30 million unemployed. So much winning.

Just got word that my employer is going to be asking everyone to start coming back into the office on Monday. We'll see what their official communication is when it comes out, but I think it's a bit too soon. How am I supposed to avoid people when I have to take the elevator up to the 15th floor. Stupid choice in my opinion, but alas, the Governor of the state I live in is an effing clown.

So excited for Trump to do something idiotic and cause irreparable harm with the worlds most powerful nation, China. His tough guy act will get us into even deeper trouble. I can’t believe nobody has put a bullet in this shitbag yet.

I legitimately believe you’re actually exited for some more bad shit to happen. You sound like a vindictive nut job.

You just want the first part of your comment to come true to justify the second unhinged part lol.

"...I cant believe someone hasn't put a pullet in this shitbag yet"

"How would your employer feel if they knew you were actively pushing fans away?"

Of course one includes violence and one does not, but I don't find these statements all that afar off with regards to instigation of others to actually follow thru....


I know I got beat up pretty good for my comment.....


Anyhow, I find it very concerning that anyone at all would be excited for any type of negative or destructive action and fallout..

says alot about ones character to be excited for someone else to cause irreparable harm that would trickle over way past one individual and affect many innocent people.



We all really do need to try to be better people. Its the ONLY way we will have a better future.

Hate does nothing but bring hate, create hate, instigate hate, propel hate and allow hate to consume our world.


It starts with ourselves people. We cannot let hate take us over for any reason, or we will not have a better tomorrow.

Goes for each and every one of us.

excited? I just said I can’t believe nobody has tried to take this guy out. and I am. He’s hated by enough people that in our gun loving country I am surprised nobody has tried.

Did I miss something?

You don’t see sarcasm there? “I’m so excited for irreparable harm”? Yeah I’m super pumped about it.

I actually think you are. Whatever it takes to justify your Trump hatred. It’s like Bill Maher saying he hopes the economy collapses so Trump won’t get re-elected. You see this shit all over social media, the anti-trumpers are practically cumming in their shorts over this covid shit.

sorry my brother, but that man's predictions and quotes concerning the virus leave him with zero credibility.
