When our governor is out eating with 15 people, inside, without masks, without social distancing; that says: I don’t care. Repeat after me: Gavin Newsom doesn’t care. He lies and defies his own orders then lies again and unilaterally bankrupts hundreds of restaurants.

Less than 1/2 a mile from our restaurant there are thousands of shoppers piled atop one another at Walmart, eating as they shop (maskless), in lines 45 people deep. At the same time, I’m the target of a hate group online for allowing diners to sit outside, 12 feet apart, and eat.

It’s looking like California will shut down shortly. But why? We abided by all the rules: ALL of our guests wear masks, we distanced everyone, not a single employee has tested positive for covid out of 100 team members - Zero, we use plexiglass partitions — another shutdown?

Restaurants are trained to be safe and sanitary (even outside covid) - these are well-managed spaces. Walmart employees aren’t required to have food handler’s safety cards, yet they will remain open as we close dining rooms. Why is a Walmart safer than a restaurant?

Amazon is hiring at breakneck speed as small business crumbles across America. As a result they need to expand their indoor cafeterias. They look very similar to indoor dining 🤔. So we don’t shut an industry down for safety we just transfer it to Amazon. Makes sense.
