Eat Out to Help Out

[Grimminski]

Excellent wordplay, now die for the fucking economy.

 

[MC-MC]

No thanks. Fucking stupid.

 

[Deleted member 1476]

Nah.

 

[Soriku]

Why would you do this when you can just get takeout and also tip the staff? Where you eat the food doesn't matter. Hell it's less cleanup for them.

 

[TaySan]

Nah i'll take takeout.

 

[Dr. Nick Riviera]

I've been telling my wife this for months.

 

[oledome]

Depends how good the restaurant's distancing measures are.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

There's something I find really annoying about all the half-arsed graphic design that comes with these announcements. Especially that little Rishi Sunak signature motif. Gross.

Since the honeymoon.

 

[CreepingFear]

Add a her in the middle and I agree.

Eat Out then Die Out

 

[RulkezX]

The usual over reactions. While getting a half price 'spoons burger isn't exactly what I was expecting in today's budget, if the protests and VE day stuff didn't spike deaths then sitting in a near empty bar/ restaurant isn't going to either

I read the title as something else and it had my support.

Fuck no.

It's a play on it, but also a plea to die for the economy. Because conservatives.

 

[Daphne]

We seriously need to get the fuck away from capitalism.

 

[Soapbox Killer]

Isnt ok if they space out the restaurant with proper distancing?

Distancing is just a preventative measure, it is not at all some sort of magical firewall of absolute blockage.

Same with masks.

They bring the risk down, they don't eliminate the risk entirely.

The more people are within proximity of each other, the more and more risk piles up, especially if there are constant potential carriers like the servers and staff at the restaurant who could catch it and keep spreading it throughout the day. This virus can be relatively asymptomatic, or low-symptomatic to a point where people might not realize they have COVID-19. Those people still spread the virus whether they know it or not.

 

[Benzychenz]

Order delivery to help out.

Eating out at 10 pounds per head doesn't sound like proper social distancing to me.

Gives me a good idea for a dental dam /face covering combo though.

 

[Septimus Prime]

Oh, this is about restaurants.

 

[ItIsOkBro]

eat ass to help time pass

Eat In to Not Fucking Die

lol same.

Not even I.

Dining at the Y is where it's at. It's the kind of downtown dining and entertainment district I'm happy to support.
Oh... wait... never mind.

 

[davepoobond]

Eat like the best die like the rest

 

[Sydle]

I've been getting take out nearly every day and tipping very well to help out. I won't go inside though, not happening.

 

[Rizific]

I'll pass. I'll happily order takeout, though.

 

[Birbos]

I thought this thread would be about oral sex

 

[Koukalaka]

Is this like confirmation that Tories don't do oral?

 

[hateradio]

Is this kind of material censored in the UK?

[BarryFishFinger]

Eh. I'd rather have my £500.

So much more I could do with that.

He is absolutely positioning himself for leadership one day.

 

[Vintage]

We have a coupon system instead, where you can pay now to support and come back to eat after the quarantine. Much better.

 

[show me your skeleton]

 

[Spookie]

I feel like this attention grabbing tactic to launch a glib catchphrase has been used before. Quick bit of googling and they did for: "Get Brexit Done". That got signal boosted by the likes of ERA and got prominent display everywhere. It clearly works.

Messaging aside: The usual over reactions in here make me roll my eyes in to the sun. I'm definitely eyeing up going out during payday though it will be after careful consideration to the measures the restaurant are taking.

 

[Xiao Hu]

And here I was hoping it was something cunnilingus related :/

 

[Akira86]

i mean....what do they call it in the UK because this is like Mrs. Slocombe's pussycat all over again.

Why not Takeout to Help Out?

Whenever I order food I always throw a tip on there to help the servers. Probably doesn't do much, but it's something

 

[Ploppee]

Eat out to help out a weak pound.

They have also reduced the VAT from 20% to 5% for the hospitality industry for 6 months which includes takeout. This measure in the OP is more so that restaurants when they open aren't making a loss as they have notoriously thin profit margins and they will now have reduced capacity compared to before and just having takeout wouldn't necessarily let them meet operating costs
