Well, you know franchises and such. Easy for the owned stores, but if you are a franchiser, you are kinda fucked. You pay the Corp. for the name and you are on your own to pick up whatever slack is required.

At the same time, it’s cheaper to provide PPE than to stay shut down.

Interestingly enough, here in Rockwall, the fast food places are still keeping their lobbies closed.

The Chinese restaurant, when this all started, shut down for a month. We were afraid they were closing for good. When they reopened, they had build a pick-up window right at the door, completely blocking off the restaurant area. You can now only go about feet into the restaurant to pick up your order.
