Foster14 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 These places are between a rock and a hard place. Make it booking only and people don't turn up, you lose out (even if you take a deposit). Make it bookings and walk ups as well, and they end up with a shiteload of people queuing to get in to certain places. To me, the people in the queues are the ones that need to have a look at themselves over the places that they are queuing to get in to. In these times it isn't very difficult to think ahead, book your tables for a night out and go with that plan. Any chat of a local lockdown better start and end at pubs/restaurants. Link to comment
Fridge Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I’m nae sure about fine but pretty much in bars everyone complies. SNP is nae a hotspot in North East but if she locks us down she will be fucking over a lot of her voters. Anyway at the moment I am getting a pint. Link to comment

Zeus Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Cock and Bull now as well with a positive customer now as well. Wonderful. Hopefully not too much issue there being more of a resteraunt Social media police loving it Link to comment
RUL Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Siberia shutting as they've been told the same. Not sure why venues following regulations feel they need to close because someone with the Covid has entered the building? I don't believe that is right? Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 It is a pain in the arse that the Grampian numbers have gone up over the last few days after sitting at zero or one every day for the most part for a month. About 40 new cases in the last 3 days by comparison. Link to comment

But when it spills half a mile down the main road of Aberdeen city centre I'm sure there will be an arguement that the venue cannot be held responsible. Can't recall the supermarkets hiring security staff to police their queues which spilled onto public property. To be honest, doesn't really bother me either way. I'm just playing devil's advocate.

Every supermarket I've been to manages their own queue with security staff. Likewise couldnt give a fuck, but the like of Soul should have employed security for the queue regardless of legality. Genuinely don't care though. Link to comment

The lockdown police all over them in the comments as well. Sounds like they took every precaution they could have done. This was always going to happen once pubs open. Just have to now rely on the track and trace thing and folk doing the right thing if they test positive. Not according to folk that have been in there they haven't Link to comment

Just have to now rely on the track and trace thing and folk doing the right thing if they test positive. Two ways to look at this. The first is that the pub followed all the requirements, strictly policed them and still a significant amount of people have contracted the virus through (I assume) one infected person attending. If that is the case, that is concerning industry wide, as if you get this and various other similar situations arising around Scotland in the near future, confidence in people attending such places will dwindle significantly. The second is that the pub or people within the pub did not follow guidelines and this lead to the significant amount of cases. I'd certainly prefer it to be the second one. Link to comment

Must be different up your way - as other than staff standing at the front of the queue, I've never seen any staff member manage the queue at any of the supermarkets. Cant say anyone has ever walked down the queue to ensure people remained 2m apart that I've seen. Even less likely when it spilled onto the public path at the bottom of the car park. Link to comment

Jason Leitch said as much - said right when it was announced that they sent people to check it out and they ticked every box with regards compliance. Link to comment
