You really think people aren't gonna go back to shop and eat out
I live on a golf course and see groups of people playing golf every day. I see people out running and on their bikes. Restaurants here are still open, they are just doing take out. shyt is not gonna completely collapse bro.
A ton of these restaurants doing takeouts are gonna be gone. This is the industry I'm in, casual dining. My kids' mom's job is doing takeout and they have two weeks to survive, as even doing abbreviated takeout orders means you have to slash payroll and staffing and you're not making enough money; her entire management group got an email that they and about 100 other units nationally (which is about 15% of that chain's units) are at risk of being permanently shuttered and they've been doing takeout only for weeks...
These service jobs have had to modify their hours AND operations, all these places you see open doing takeout are running with skeleton crews to try to squeeze a profit. Why do you think unemployment claims have skyrocketed?
I would guess most of these restaurants will survive, particularly the larger brand chains. But many of these chains are gonna close hundreds, if not thousands, of low performing units nationwide, and the mom and pops? A ton of them are going under. The longer this goes on the worse it is for these service industries (if this ended tomorrow a grip of them are finished anyway) that people take for granted, don't be fooled because you see some open restaurants lol...
