Do we take the pandemic seriously? Of course we do. Am I saying that we shouldn\u2019t close outdoor dining? Yes, I am. At every single juncture along the way here, from the beginning shut-down to today, we\u2019ve listened to all of the advice from our government officials, only to be shut down over and over and over again, and then not compensated for the elements that we put in place in our businesses in order to protect our customers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We shut down indoor dining \u2014 no problem. I got a warehouse full of plexiglass right now, okay? We went outdoors, alright? Now that\u2019s getting shut down. I just put thousands of dollars into outdoor heaters.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>There is zero scientific evidence that proves that outdoor dining is contributing to a rise in cases related to this, alright? I am only saying that we are going to continue dining outdoors, because I can get on an airplane, and I can fly and eat and do whatever I want \u2014 and don\u2019t tell me it\u2019s the HEPA filters, okay? Because that\u2019s not the case. You don\u2019t turn those on until you get onto the plane. Before that, everybody\u2019s fornicating on top of each other.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Gruel noted how big-box stores such as Walmart and Target were open to large numbers of people while outdoor dining at restaurants had been targeted by state authorities.
