    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.

    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?

    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.

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

    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.

    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.
