So among the Covid rules in California....they wrote a measure on outdoor restaurants. It says that if you order alcohol.....any type....that you must order a 'meal'.
This meal can't be simple things like wings, cheese sticks, calamari or fries. It has to be an actual Hamburger plate, or steak, or tuna-fish salad. Basically....you can't get away with a $1.50 bundle of fries, or $3.99 of chicken wings.
What's this have to do with Covid-19? Nothing.
As you step into a 'pub' in California....you have to figure at the cheaper level (burger and fries)....it's going to be $10 to $12 for a basic plate, plus the $3 for one single beer.
You were going to have a two or two with three friends to celebrate your new job? Well....with food included, you'd have to spend near $80 minimum.
Why go this route? I sat and ponder upon this. It'd make more sense to go over to a grocery operation....pick up a bag of chips and a case of beer....with some crushed ice....then meet your friends over at some city park to drink under some tree without the hassle of Covid-19 ban rules.
This is the problem with the government now.....the rules reach a point where they don't really fit the original problem, and you start to ask really stupid questions that can't be answered.
