Orik Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 French waiters roaming the streets sounds dangerous. Israel just did the same and also implemented a system to automatically obtain location history for new cases and notify people who were near them. We're asking people to pay online so so we don't touch their cash and they don't touch our ipad. It occurred to me there's really no popular QR pay solution in the US, or is there one I'm not aware of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 I never thought I’d see a French President describe bars as “non-essential.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AaronS Posted March 14, 2020 Share Posted March 14, 2020 paypal has a qr option but I’ve never used it, or used paypal In a store or restaurant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hollywood Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Anybody need 17,000 bottles of hand sanitizer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Karpf Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 If I don't leave home, I won't need to carry around sanitizer. I was not planning on hibernating this early, even though we're well stocked. But this encouragement to self-isolate sooner rather than later seems sound: https://medium.com/@ariadnelabs/social-distancing-this-is-not-a-snow-day-ac21d7fa78b4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joethefoodie Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 As Ori said the other day about the "geniuses" in bars on St. Mark's Place.... Please, Don’t Go Out to Brunch Today Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 paypal has a qr option but I’ve never used it, or used paypal In a store or restaurant. I imagine China would've been much worse without it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Currently in the Atlanta airport waiting for my flight home. My flight out of Nashville had 50+ open seats. Both airports very quiet for a Sunday. It will be interesting to see how empty my Las Vegas flight will be. The flight attendant went into a long monologue about how Delta was only using paper or plastic inflight. No pillows or blankets. Wearing gloves. Them handing out snacks, rather than letting people touch everything in the snack basket while trying to decide what carb/sodium/sugar bomb they want (my adjectives, not hers), wash your hands, cover your mouth etc. I walk into the Sky Club...and lo and behold Delta is serving their normal lunch BUFFET (and, not that it really matters) with china, glassware and flatware...I mean, FFS, Las Vegas has stopped the buffets (definitely a possible sign of the apocalypse). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Evelyn Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Dallas also. But here, the international terminal was a ghost town. Heard immigration wasn’t bad either. But no first hand view. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilfrid Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Nobody waiting for brunch outside Cafe Mogador on St Mark’s earlier. Unheard of (no, it wasn’t empty, but still). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
