how apt that last summer I started my project of trying all kinds of Chicago fast foods & it was almost ALL carryout to eat in parks or at home. good practice for 2020 https://twitter.com/kofchicago/status/1298285021724389376">https://twitter.com/kofchicag...
has anyone written about how seating for solo diners/drinkers outside was already almost nonexistent (I& #39;d complain every summer tbh), & now even worse, at least in Chicago (& indoor bar seating isn& #39;t a thing right now)? it& #39;s patio table w/a friend or alone w/carryout in a park
I enjoyed this, on possible longterm changes in dining out https://twitter.com/hopnotes/status/1297926570317959171?s=19">https://twitter.com/hopnotes/...
on the bright side, I really, really like that more restaurants post menus outside now (especially since I haven& #39;t figured out QR code ones yet)
anyone else been meaning to shift to all cash at coffeeshops/carryout spots (for budgeting issues & tipping issues) (especially to avoid the awkward "no tip/15/20/25%" screens) but...that& #39;s over now?
another restaurant/bar observation, when it& #39;s only a patio now & they allow smoking, it& #39;s...not great (actually *every damn year* I forget this is my problem with outdoor festivals & get reminded again, lol)
real talk, I& #39;ve tried but I cannot figure out how to do QR code menus/bills that are ubiquitous these days & was on verge of tears yesterday (thank you servers who let me order/pay the old way!), this is now a bigger obstacle to going out solo than worrying about seating issues
this whole rambling thread is meant to convey I DON& #39;T object to any safety rules or other measures businesses are taking, just wanna know if I& #39;m the only awkward technically inept person personally having trouble with any of them
ahh, it finally happened this week & happened TWICE, after ordering carryout &/or coffee from 50+ places wearing a mask (& sometimes language issues), an order was misheard (both were minor cold drink mixups I wasn& #39;t gonna bother correcting)
I meant to add this contest to this thread, I mean, creative stuff here but I& #39;m not up for indoor outdoor dining https://twitter.com/TimeOutChicago/status/1315262059282604032?s=19">https://twitter.com/TimeOutCh...
