    A couple of weeks ago a regional sandwich chain based in the east bay, Specialties, announced that they were shutting down. Their main focus is/was catering corporate lunches and also dine in/take out places in office districts. I can’t even guess how many times I’ve eaten their food since they are/were ubiquitous in the Bay Area, Seattle and Portland. The sandwiches were ok. Not fantastic. And the menu a little tired because it never changed. But MAN the cookies! Greg’s post about his friends’ crumbl cookies franchise reminded me of them. So delicious. And three times the size of a reasonable dessert. I will definitely miss them.

    People are increasingly abandoning their masks. Plexiglass is now in place but only covers a portion of the counter between employees and customers, the portion immediately behind the computer terminal. It's like the supermarket checkout plexiglass. But because it is there most employees are no longer wearing masks and they are not enforcing the rule that customers wear masks. Just as masks became a substitute for social distancing, plexiglass has become a substitute for masks.

    If the movie, "The Graduate" were to be rebooted, Benjamin Braddock's career advice from a neighbor would be "One word - Plexiglass".

    Indeed. Or "riot gates". (admittedly two words...) Every small business in NYC has had them since after the 1977 blackout when there was lots of rioting and looting. It wouldn't surprise me if they become commonplace all over the country once this is all over.

    A coworker asked one of the managers today why he is not enforcing the mask rule. He said he almost got into two fist fights with customers over masks recently and it is not worth it.
