irresponsible fish and chip shop

[pitlochrypat]

Our local F&C shop has a huge poster in the window asking for staff urgently, I thought they had to be closed now?

They don't do deliveries.

Do they do take away?

They must be planning to start deliveries.

Errm, yes, F&C shops are takeaways aren't they!

The notice doesn't ask for drivers, it asks for staff.

Why are they being irresponsible?

They still need someone to cook the food if they’re planning to start deliveries.

Plus takeaways are allowed to still be open - it’s sit ins that can’t be.

Then where is the problem? Takeaways are still allowed to be open.

Takeaways are allowed to be open.

Please read the guidelines - so many people peddling half truths and misinterpretations.

Our local f&c shop is running on a delivery only basis, they’re much busier than normal.

Takeaway establishments are able to continue business at their discretion. Only sit down areas in restaurants and cafes are required to close.

Takeaways are allowed

Takeaways (delivery or collection) are still allowed to run. Its pubs and restaurants where people are sat in close quarters for long periods which are the issue (at present). This isnt any more irresponsible than a shop advertising for staff which most are.

OP: ‘Oh...’

Of course they arent irresponsible. If they need staff to serve in the shop then they can advertise for them. Takeaways are allowed to stay open. Restaurants can be open to allow for takeaway and deliveries too

I went to our local chip shop yesterday - only four people allowed in at any one time, no leaning on the counter. Everyone stayed a good distance apart. No problem.

TBH I do think takeaways should close, but at the mo they don,t have to so they are doing nothing wrong.

If for example some of their staff are self-isolating, of course they're going to need more staff.

Or as a PP pointed out, they may be about to start delivering.

Ever thought of working for MI5 OP? No? Thank Christ for that- we'd be fucked.

Ever thought of working for MI5 OP

Funny you should ask.....

In that case, you should be able to read, digest, analyse and understand the guidance.Yep we're fucked

Totally not the question but do you actually live in Pitlochry, and if so is it the amazing chippie that does battered smoked fish?

I'm from there but not living there at the moment
