Local Wetherspoons stopped extra Covid cleaning since reopening

Has anyone else noticed their local pubs or cafes have gone back to their usual standards pre Covid? My local Wetherspoons has got really grott with tables not being cleaned after every customer, food lying around on the floor, really filthy sticky floor where it is not being washed. My local has actually got worse than what it was like pre Covid that it’s no longer safe to eat in. It’s so bad I’m expecting a huge increase of Coronavirus transmissions in the locality. Anybody else experience this?

When the kitchen chef leaves the toilet door open when she is using the loo and management laugh it off then you can only imagine what occurs when the chef is in the kitchen

You are calling cooks in wetherspoons chefs I will support them but chefs they aren't, that's part of problem people expecting too much of the Macdonalds of pubs

Nah, it's a covid trap. Virus will stick to the floor and not be able to move. Grin

Poor Brexit Tim has found that he can't get staff for some of his pubs as they have gone back to the EU... Wants Boris to make an exception for him and let more in. Hmm Project fear eh?

I haven't been in a Wetherspoons lately but I've noticed that just about everywhere I have been has made a big performance of wiping the table tops (good) and the top of the chair seats and the backs (why - do germs burrow through clothes?).

Then just about everyone who comes in sits down and grabs the edge and underside of the seat of the chair to pull it in - the bit that's never wiped.

@amicissimma I have never seen any Wetherspoons or any other eat in or coffee shops clean the underside of the chairs and tables. Even after they all just reopened after the first and second lockdown. @Againstmachine I don’t think it is expecting too much for me to go into the ladies loo and not want to see the kitchen staff urinating in the toilets when they don’t close the toilet door! How is that expecting too much? I look forward to you explaining how that is ok in any way or form and then for the kitchen staff to return to work in the kitchen. It’s totally gross.

I went to a 'spoons recently and it was lovely and clean.
However I have noticed that hand sanitizer despensers in many shops, supermarkets, railway stations, shopping centres etc are no longer being re-filled or if they do have sanitizer in about 9 out of 10 people are no longer bothering to use them.

How’s their ventilation?

YarnOver Wetherspoon the company treated you badly or you had a bad pub manager?

I’d never set foot in a spoons to start with, utterly abysmal in my view. But their standards have always been sketchy from what I’ve heard so it’s not a shock to me. Surely it’s better to support an independent instead where they will be hopefully more on the ball?

Or local spoons the staff are self isolating .
Wemt to city centre branch half term seemed quiet, clean and well organised.

You must just have been unlucky, as I've been in two different ones in as many weeks and they were both absolutely fine.
