I agree..... could easily have insisted deliveries only & possibly helped self employed taxi drivers. Strange move.I’m genuinely still confused at the risk from take aways, ie the packaging etc.

I'm in a bit of a weird situation regarding work tomorrow. I only work on a Monday so any comms/decisions about the office have not filtered down to me. I've text the office manager and also emailed but no response. Text one of the staff who said they were working from home and likely the office will be closed tomorrow. I don't think I've a choice but to drive to the office and see what's happening. If the gates are locked I'll come home and if open I'll go into the offices to find out more...
Part of being the teeniest cog in the machine but pretty poor there's been no communication. That place has had 28 loyal years from me and most of those full time and hard graft.

Not practical for many nando's. Often in remote retail parks. Not densely populated areas.
At least not round here. Think it so ly Maidstone that does delivery.
Collection for the rest.
Obv McDonald's drive thru is easiest way which makes their decision to close confusing.

Haven't heard either of them closing anywhere other than here so far
We got a few Nandos round here. The local ones would be fine for Uber eats
Going to go down meat market on my nights this week get some steak in as we out. Apparently they got no chicken tho which isnt good

Come on, I expect better from you. Look on Facebook at the interviews outside a pub in Manchester and I'm sure you'll find other cities too.
You'll also find that Scotland has now gone through the courts to have the legislation to force clubs to close and that has come into effect NOW.
Maybe Westminster should have forced this through before asking those places to shut. It should have been mandatory not a plea which allowed some publicans to cash in up and down the length of Britain while they legally could.

But if the scientists/doctors etc are correct, people can carry this disease for up to 7 days without falling ill if at all, if they work for these take aways and the issue over packaging isn’t cleared up, surely they could be spreading the disease about, and I agree, how is that any different to shop workers, home delivery drivers etc.
I know you can’t cover every scenario, but there does seem to be a few holes in the information we are being told.

McDonalds closing all restaurants.
The nando's decision is a national one. They are all closing this evening.
Will be on social media once all staff informed.

Being a taxi driver I am basically in the front line of getting the virus .I'm also over sixty with COPD so should I be sitting in my house on my own for the duration and not earn any money , like I can afford that (not). With no money coming in at least I will lose a lot of weight due to not affording to buy any food .that's if there is any on the shelves after the morons have ransacked the joint.

Reminds me of a poem I read on the wall of a toilet in a place I once worked:
'if you work and do your best
You'll get the sack like all the rest
Then on your tombstone neatly lacquered
Not just dead but bloody knackered'
Feel for you buddy. Got to get some cash and put "food on the table" and again feel that hurt. I was in the same boat, in work at 6.30 each morning and shelves empty when I finished. HID has been great and running around the local supermarkets each morning looking for milk, bread etc not just for us but her elderly parents that are more or less housebound anyway. Stay safe, be careful and hope the measures being put in place to restrict the amount of stuff helps you

Very true. The place has changed a lot in my time. From a family-owned business where you genuinely felt part of the bigger picture to what it is now...part of a bigger group where you really are just a number on the payroll but are regularly told it's all about the team and our colleagues.

Are there any grants you can claim, have the new universal credit rules made it better for you to claim. I think you're life is more important. Think it through carefully and look after yourself.

I suppose doesnt make much business sense to stay open
Custoners can't come to eat, take aways will only make so much money
People will be on more of a budget.
MC Donald's I would be shocked about . So cheap .. keep shift workings going during this ..

Post count?
Why? Because I've backed up an earlier comment relaying info i have from someone.
Or are you talking about yourself and your original comment that mcdonalds will close after I'd already stated it?
I presume you saw it online? But as you'd not referenced any source it was simply further speculation.
