I work in hospitality. Thanks!

Potentially depending on any restrictions. I don’t think I’d enjoy a meal out if there were lots of rules to be wary of so would probably wait a while.
We have a couple of friends who are quite high risk so we’ve already said we’ll probably start having bbqs and garden parties at ours for a while to avoid more public places

No. Mid 50's.
It's worrying how many will.

SistemaAddict · 18/05/2020 13:31

No. 43
Maybe next year. This has reignited my food and hygiene issues. And there'd be other people there. ASD too. So no, not for a long time yet.

Absolutely late 20s. However where I like there's only 3 restaurants I'd go to in a out a 2 hour drive radius so I feel like we're going to be fighting for a booking!

Fabuleuse · 18/05/2020 13:33

Absolutely not. Mid 30s

Nearlyoldenoughtowearpurple · 18/05/2020 13:37

Yes but not if there are lots of restrictions, mask wearing, screens etc as it just wouldn’t be the same so seems pointless to me personally

LondonJax · 18/05/2020 13:39

Nope. 57.

doughnutmuffin · 18/05/2020 13:42

No, early 30s and pregnant. Once the baby's born I will, and have told family any offers of babysitting the children will be accepted!

doughnutmuffin · 18/05/2020 13:45

I have been having takeaways though and will continue, more worried about being in confined spaces with others at the moment

Lolly86 · 18/05/2020 13:45

Yes 34 Smile

MaisyMary77 · 18/05/2020 13:46

Yes. Mid 40s. 😁

Tableclothing · 18/05/2020 13:47

Hell yes. 37.

MaisyMary77 · 18/05/2020 13:48

^^ that was supposed to be a grin... not a grimace!

catwithflowers · 18/05/2020 13:48

No, we would hang on a bit. Love food and eating out and money not an issue but would be cautious for the first few months. My husband and I are in our mid 50s

borntohula · 18/05/2020 13:50

I work in a restaurant and yes, definitely. I'm 31.

HappyBuyer · 18/05/2020 13:51

No, I'm 35

bumblingbovine49 · 18/05/2020 13:54

No. 55

Likethebattle · 18/05/2020 13:55

I’m unsure. I’m desperate to go out to eat but I’m worried at the same time.

BojoKilledMyMojo · 18/05/2020 13:56

Yes, as long as there's decent space between tables. I'm in my 30s.

dreamingbohemian · 18/05/2020 13:57

Restaurants reopened here in Berlin this weekend and so we went out for dinner, it was amazing :) I hope you all get the chance to do so soon!

I feel terrible for the servers having to wear masks all night but they understand the necessity. There is still a nice atmosphere even with fewer tables, in fact it's nicer not having another table on top of you and having to tune out loud conversations.

They do try to limit contact, e.g. no more menus, you either get a paper menu that is thrown away after or you can look up their menu online.

I think we will all get used to it.

Merigoround · 18/05/2020 13:58

Cant wait to go and have a meal that I dont have to think about buying ingredients for, preparing,cooking ,setting the table for or washing up afterwards.
We probably will wait and see first though as I guess there are always the eager sorts who want to be first at everything. I will let them be the guinea pigs so that the restaurants can iron out any problems. But maybe 3 weeks into them opening? Bring it on !
We are early 50s

CakeCakeCake21 · 18/05/2020 13:58

Yes, I am 44

NotJust3SmallWords · 18/05/2020 13:59

Yes, can't wait! I'm 31

Barabajagal · 18/05/2020 14:04

Yes - 52. Can’t wait!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 18/05/2020 14:06

Hell no. Early 50s.
