Beggars can't be choosers in my case. Theres like a 3 year waitlist. With covid here...I'm hoping I can snag an open daycare spot in the Vancouver downtown area if anyone knows any.

Dude, you make it so hard with your posts. Its tiring pointing out why what you're saying is wrong (and dangerous) and do you know what the worst thing is?

You just keep going on posting after saying the same thing.

Stop looking for sympathy when you know damn well you post absolute trash. Come on man :lol

These guys DGAF about COVID.

They were open today when I drove by. Won't be visiting this joint anytime soon.

Paging JDMDreams ...

Pathetic enforcement strikes again. That seems like salt in the wounds of the restaurants that are trying to be safe and follow the guidelines but got screwed at the last second by the policy that was "hinted" at.

Dr. Bonnie's latest update for the past four days since NYE:

2211 new cases
45 people dead
76 people in ICU

UK in full lockdown again, 1 day after reopening schools

CONTROLAVIRUS

its real , overblown, cases dont mean shit , PCR test is a JOKE.
not even worthy of being called a pandemic.

positivity rate is going up despite lower testing over the holidays
gathering ban will be extended at least until family day/chinese new year?

Sigh, I can guarantee you many restaurants lost much more than $2300 for closing at 8pm. They hosted a 100-person party, if each person pays $23 for cover fee it's taken care of ... this is getting so pathetic.

I had this conversation with my friend yesterday.
Me: If tickets for drivers getting caught using the HOV lane illegally are $20 but it can save you an hour each way. Would you risk it?
Him: No
Me: What if you were late for work and you get paid $50 an hour?
Him: Hmmm maybe.

It's the same mentality for some of these restaurants not taking the rules seriously because the fines are peanuts, sure you look like a douche to the others in the same boat but in the end why do they care.

It wouldn't surprise me if restaurants start breaking the law more and more as their livelihood is at stake. It's been shown repeatedly time and time again that the people that flout the rules get a tiny slap on the wrist. It's all about risk/reward ratio and Cold Tea definitely made much more than the measly $2300 ticket they had to pay.

@obsiden it’s funny you use the HOV discussion. I knew people that used HOV every single day against the rules. Got caught maybe once or twice a year. Their time was worth sooo much more than sitting in traffic like the rest of us plebs.

I’m a square, so I’d never do that. But I do get it

150,000 expected to be vaccinated by February in BC...

While Israel, with a 9million population, has already vaccinated well over 1million people, and they didn't start vaccinating ppl until Dec 20th...

Follow up: cold tea owner speaks out. Owner basically saying VPD is lying?

Fuck those owners. They didn't give af and broke all the rules. Doesn't matter of its 38 or 100. A lot of other restaurants suffered as well. These assholes think they're special snowflakes.

To play devil's advocate for a minute, sh*t like this is why people believe in all the conspiracies.

There is a reason why people are starting to hate the phrase "we are all in this together" more and more.

Was there an all out travel ban in Canada? I never heard that

The fines are pathetic. No mask should be $1000, parties $10000 and businesses $30000 (shut down for a month on 2nd offense).

Everyone in that restaurant should've received a fine. I just watched the news where the owner was saying some shit about losing money on the food they purchased for the party. Boohoo.

That doesn’t even cover all the Albertan MP’s that went to Hawaii for Christmas (after appearing on TV saying stay in Alberta and don’t travel)

They should've just stfu and eaten their extremely low $2300 fine, apologize and move on. But they decide to go on the news and make a bunch of excuses for their actions and the "optics". I think that's the nail in the coffin for that restaurant. They pissed off their own industry and a lot of other people.

The smart move for the government would be just to take violators liquor licences away.

The place is literally called "Cold Tea" as in it harkens back to a practice in shady Chinese restaurants whereby they surreptitiously served beer in tea pots to get around a lack of a liquor licence.

thats supposed to be a secret!
