King County has also released its own set of standards for the reopening of restaurants, which is consistent with the entire Huazhou standard. If the diners do not wear masks, the restaurant may refuse to enter. Restaurant employers must also screen employees for new coronary symptoms including fever, to ensure that the front-to-back distance between employees reaches 6 feet, and to stagger work hours as much as possible. This is a more specific explanation of Huazhou's new regulations.
Although the news was released late at night,Seattle people still blow up. Some people criticized this as a violation of human rights and mandatory disclosure of personal privacy. Some people lamented how difficult it is to eat a meal. Some people teased that people might find it difficult to avoid dinner, and the purpose of preventing public meetings was further achieved.

As a customer, let me talk about my views first
I love to go to the restaurant to eat, and like many people, I look forward to seeing the long-lost scene again, even retaliatory consumption, but under such conditions.I personally would never leave personal information for a meal in the dining room,Because nothing is important for privacy.
Some people say that you have never reserved a seat in a restaurant? First of all, phone reservations are made on an active and voluntary basis, just as the order must be given to the address, rather than passively restricted by the rules. In other words, I reserved a phone number rather than having to do so.

Secondly,I am afraid of infection and want to go to dine in food..The human rights most valued by Americans and the most worrisome risks for Chinese people need to bear their own responsibility from the moment they step into the restaurant.If you do n’t want to leave personal information, you do n’t have to go to the restaurant, This choice is very simple.
Others said that in fact, the customer's personal information is already in the hands of the merchant when the card is checked out. But in fact, not every restaurant only accepts credit cards, nor everyone only swipes cards to check out, and the existence of cash and electronic payments does not require the disclosure of personal information.
The point is thatAs a guest, I do n’t know what happens if I leave my personal information in the restaurantThe reason for choosing not to do so is out of distrust of the uncontrollable situation. In addition, if some people leave false information for dine-in meals, where do they find out if they become infected?
From the standpoint of the restaurant,The remaining guest information, if there is a leak, the restaurant will also have a mouthful, Because this is a government order, the door cannot be opened without doing so. If a dispute arises as a result, I am afraid that in the future, the restaurant will be even more in a hurry in terms of human, material and financial resources.
As a restaurant chef, I feel unsafe
Chefs in Seattle said of the restaurant ’s reopening of new regulations:Without vaccines, we will never feel safe.A Western food chef named Logan Cox was even more angry: "These regulations sound like the worst dining experience ever, and a violation of privacy!"
At a news conference on Tuesday, the governor tried to explain the privacy issues that record the information of diners, saying that the data collected by restaurants will be cleared when they are not needed, and only used for contact tracking purposes. But the governor himself said that the specific removal method is still being discussed with leaders in the catering industry.
In summary, everyone did not expect that going to the next restaurant after the epidemic was really so difficult.
HuazhouIt ’s not the first place that requires restaurants to stay, Maine also has its own set of reopening guidelines, which also requires restaurants to keep customer records, and cities such as Austin and New Orleans have announced similar plans. It is worth noting that, according to regulations,Restaurants that only do takeaway seem not to be subject to logging rules.
Now, please tell everyone, under such conditions,If you are a guest, would you be willing to dine? The team is really distressed by the restaurant owner. With such cumbersome requirements, how can the restaurant reopen the restaurant?
