sage Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I tried out kfc on my own yesterday. Purely as a risk assessment before taking the lad you understand. Over half the restaurant was reserved for takeaway customers and delivery drivers but was completely empty. Had to join the 3 groups on the other side. Reasonable distancing but surely they understand Monday to Wednesday everyone will eat in. Having said that there is nothing to stop you saying you will eat in then walking straight out as everything comes in sealed bags. No trays.

Think it's usually £6 on Tuesday but half price with the Eat Out to Help Out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Me and my mates have been going to our local curry house (bring your own booze) since the scheme started. Last night it was £75 for 9 people, which included a tip, rice and naan for everyone and a few soft drinks for the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonofmidnight Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Well I wanted to support the pub trade and dine out so I duly phoned up and said I wanted to book a table outside. I was told well you can book for inside but not outside. Being as we are in our mid sixties and our friends are seventy eating inside was not a risk worth taking. So that pub didn't get our trade.

That's a bit bizarre. Did they give a specific reason why you couldn't dine outside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Went into a cafe on Wednesday and when paying asked why the didn’t do the 50% deal. we don’t need to, we’re busy. I pointed out it was also to benefit the customers as it had zero effect on the business takings. They moaned that they’d heard they have to wait a week to get the refund from the gov. A whole week! Wow, wish I only had to wait a week to get paid for some jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This also seems like a scheme that's massively open to fraudulent claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlikely people in a cafe would demand a receipt, and even if they did, print one on a different device than the one your books are based on.
