Eat Out to Help Out

[bmforre]

... eat at my favourite (newly opened) Tonkatsu ramen noodle place. I would have gone anyway, but as they're signed up to EOTHO, I switched it to tomorrow. That way I can afford takoyaki as well as tonkatsu ramen (I may even push the boat out and have some sake as well. I know that's not included in the price).

Are you describing a Cardinal Fang Communion? - properly transcultural.

I'm curious to see some of the better jokes about eating out to help out. Possibly the ones by women rather than the ones by men, but who knows.

to be fair to Rishi, it's true that eating out can help mitigate a weak pound

Some restaurants and pubs are withdrawing from the Eat Out to Help Out scheme because of "hostility towards staff" because people are terrible.

Matches what son and GF say after a trip to Salcombe: local restaurant is sick of staff getting yelled at e.g. by morons who order a huge meal they can't then pay for because they don't understand the £10/head limit.

A lot of places are reporting that all it's done is move the custom to the start of the week

Well, there's this weekend's news. Not exactly a dead cat but still.

Eat out to help out was discussed by More or Less on Wednesday. Looks like the scheme did increase transmission, but not by very much. Probably sped up the Alpha wave by a few days.
