This may relate more to current situation. Me and girlfriend are heading for Walmart this morning and decide to stop at Bob Evans our restaurants have just recently reopened at 50%. I joke with her that watch us go in and somebody by us just keeps coughing. We sit down they bring our drinks the people two tables over the lady starts coughing. By now she's cost about three times the waitress comes back I explained to her I'm sorry but I don't feel comfortable with this situation me and my girlfriend get up we don't have to pay for the drinks I told the waitress he will take our food to go went back over and stood by the front door and waited. I can still hear the lady in the background continually coughing I'm like what the hell I do understand people have smoker's cough Etc but why the hell would you go in a restaurant at this time if you know you cannot stop coughing. I can't say that I'm going to eat in any restaurants for a while at least not till this thing has died down.

So glad I quit. I also remember delivering to a bunch of guys smoking weed around what looked to be a four-year-old. The one who answered the door was so high that it took him 8 minutes to count out the money he owed me, and even then two of his friends had to come and help him out. Felt bad for the kid.
