We opened a restaurant 3 months before all this nonsense started... we stood our ground... we sat people who wanted to sit without masks, barriers, etc. We followed all the board of health rules that were necessary prior to this crap but didn't budge an inch ... and we survived. We had police called, the board of health called, etc. etc. etc. and we stood our ground.
Was it scary? Absolutely. Did we wake up everyday thinking, "What the hell is going to happen today?" Absolutely. But we became a meeting place for people that understood what was going on and offered an opportunity to enlighten those that didn't.
Even though there were days (months) were we didn't come close to even breaking even, we knew we were doing the right thing and as long as the Lord wanted us open, we stayed open.
