1/ THREAD: California just killed off the restaurant industry it helped to make famous.

Bye-bye iHOP
Bye-bye Benihana
Bye-bye Fogo de Chão
Bye-bye Dave & Busters

BEHOLD - the guidelines to re-open/destroy your business!
2/ First (and worst) bars, wineries, breweries and pubs who do not offer food may NOT open. NO problem just offer some peanuts for 10 cents?!
HA! you have to get a license for EVERYTHING in CA.
Restaurant CEO: "It& #39;s easier to open a restaurant in Siberia than California."
3/ So now you have to train a person to take other people& #39;s temperatures. And honestly, this is the probably the BEST part of your employee& #39;s day considering that it& #39;s the closest proximity they will have with each other.
4/ Yay for the EPA. You were probably already doing this as a CA restaurant but now that they have you by the jugular you better review the APPROVED products by the EPA
5/ So, with all that extra money you& #39;ve been saving in your downtime I& #39;m sure you afford to totally revamp your strip-mall Chinese food joint into an open-air stadium with state-of-the-art air filters.
6/ That fine-dining experience you have is out the door! You should just email your guests a copy of the menu because ANYTHING they touch has to be thrown away or washed immediately upon their exit. Including the menus.
7/ As a server in a high-end restaurant I hated prepping the table and guess what YOU WON& #39;T HAVE TO.

It& #39;s gonna look like an empty table at an old saloon.
8/ Oh look! The perfect way to get rid of salt from our diets require it to be banished from tables foreever.
9/ Dang. I get enough sour looks from staff when I come into the pasta joint with a 3-yr-old and a 1-yr-old and ask for high chairs. Not only do they have to clean up the floor (a given) but they have to totally clean up the high chair too.

I apologize in advance.
10/ Remember paying extra for that special salad prep at the table or maybe even a little extra to see the Orange Flambe? No more. Done.

Oh holy crap! Is Benihana head?!
11/ We live in a world where the after-dinner mint Monty Python sketch doesn& #39;t exist.
12/ Bye bye pool tables, pinball machines, fun little stuffed dolls you can win for your kids... holy crap.

Dave & Busters is dead.
13/ No more buzzers but you can& #39;t wait in the lobby either so stay in your car and suffocate and if it& #39;s cold just turn on your car and destroy the environment like you just did at the grocery stores asking for plastic bags.

We are all so dumb.
14/ Ahhh there it it. Even if your bar/pub/winery offers food to allow people to buy alcohol ALL the bar areas are closed.

So cry in your non-beer.
15/ I have 7 kids. F this!
