Restaurant servers,bartendersThe hosts and hostesses have all risky their health to deal with customers and maintain the livelihoods of the company. Nevertheless, many servers have been confronted with customers after several attempts to apply safety precautions.
"People have the impression of being entitled to normality when they can not be given that," says a server at Mac Daddy's restaurant in Cross, South Carolina, who asked to remain anonymous. "The reopening created chaos".

Tricary Denner, who works behind the postponement counter and is a hostess at the pizzerColumbus, Ohio, could not be more excited to have the open dining room. However, she noticed a recreational theme for guests who have come to dinner since the reopening of the Independent Pizza Store on June 8th. "Most of them do not have masks," she says.

Request servers to wear a mask.
The same Mac Daddy's server indicates that clients also committed impolis comments to wear a mask while taking control.
"I was asked several times if I knew even anyone who caught her [and], I know that at least four people who have, and these clients are visibly upset when you informed them that you do not think It's a hoax. "
Victoria Duitz, server in a high-end restaurant in Charlotte, North Carolina, also met with customers who are not interested in joining theCDC guidelines. Some people have made severe remarks after asking them to sit at a table at least six feet from the neighboring occupied table.
"I had a man who intimidated me verbally because he wanted to sit somewhere who was not" health code ", a socially distanced aka," she says. "He informed me that We would not be closed by the Department of Health if we did not have social distances. "
Enter the restaurant with a large group.
While welcoming a bighaving dinner In a restaurant is currently impracticable, some customers are always trying to spend time in large groups, mainly in restaurants and bars where outdoor seats are available. This is the biggest problem Josh Cutler, who was Barman at the Yucatan Beach Bar & Grill bar on Fort Myers Beach, Florida for 12 years, has been confronted since the reopening.
"The majority of the problems were more of the local population who generally gather in larger groups and all know each other," he says. "Keep people at a comfortable distance in this case was extremely difficult and embarrassing for all parties involved."
Cutller also says that guests have been kissed and kissing everything in a restaurant inside and the suspension around the outside bar. Ohio's customers also started ignoring social distance distancing practices. Denner-who admits that she was not afraid of the coronavirus-says: "I have customers who are not afraid to kiss me."
The same concern applies to restaurants in North Carolina."The biggest issue of concern is the aversion of some people to social distancing," Duitz said.
Do not wear their masks correctly.
There are many people trying to dinner responsibly in restaurants during the pandemic, however, a server noticed that some customers are notProperly wear their mask.
"The biggest mistake I see is an appropriate use of the mask," says DUITZ. "People do not cover their noses or will not remove their mask and rely to talk to me. Surgical masks are usually upside down or upside down."

It's no question that the restoration seems different right now and will continue not to look at the same thing in the coming months, which means that restrictions do not go anywhere soon.

Large recently, she received a tip of $ 5 on a $ 100 tab.
"Customers have not changed at all," she says. "I worked the hardest I have ever had as a server and that I'm as much money I guess. [I am barely able to pay invoices so that I can be done by people who do not take my health seriously. "
Although some similarities in the experiments, restaurant and bar staff have had with customers in the middle of the reopening process, it is largely respective for the establishment. For example, Cutler noticed that customers, in general, have beenkind what they were before the pandemic.
"With quarantine, it seems that a lot of significant human socialization, it seems that many are reset and gather to share the simple things of life," he said.
All customers are not at fault here, but some must be more attentive to the staff and pressure they are under the restaurant. At the end of the day, restaurant servers simply want to make sure your restoration experience is as safe as possible.
"We are happy to have the dining room open again and see our customers," says Denner.
