I understand that businesses have expenses directly resulting from COVID-19 procedures/requirements for PPE and cleaning/sanitizing and the like (as well as inefficiencies from reduced capacity).
I understand that people don't like being nickled and dimed with surcharges (clearly disclosed ahead of time or not).
What I'm struggling with is how businesses are expected to pay for the COVID-19 costs or if people are even willing to pay for increased costs.

I don't know what consumers will pay. I assume they'd be OK with temporary Chinese Virus surcharges. It is difficult to swallow however, when you see thousands rioting with no precautions for the Virus, and Government and the MEDIA embracing and Promoting that rioting. So it begs the thought that this was ALL UNNECESSARY and a purposeful attempt to crash the economy. Why should I pay for their Propaganda?
My personal response will be to stay away from most businesses except for the ones I have to use to survive until ALL returns to normal if it ever does. Sorry, but I didn't cause this problem. The Government and Media did. They need to make up the difference in $$$ these businesses lost NOT ME.

I couldn’t give a shit about the big companies, but I do care about the small businesses,and want them and their employees to get back on their feet.
Yesterday I flew to Janesville KJVL to have breakfast at Bessie’s Diner, which is in the terminal. My daughter and I had a 45 minute wait because they are operating at something like 25% capacity for now.
Tables were very far apart. Cloth napkins and silverware came in a plastic bag. Salt and pepper were in little packets. The tables AND CHAIRS were throughly wiped down before we sat down. Many other changes.
The pretty tattooed waitress had nice eyes, but otherwise wore a mask. She looked like mid to late 40’s. Other employees didn’t wear masks as it is not required here. Personal choice. Zero customers had masks, and about half of them flew in, the rest were from the community.
I paid her $40 for a $22 breakfast. I think it was money well spent. Especially since I spent $200 to get there in a rental Cutlass.
