"I tried to be refined, but **** *******": The ugly and violent side of restaurant returns
This volcano has been suffocating here for over a year.
Is it any wonder that now he is scattering boiling and destructive lava on the sidewalks?

An earthquake is expected in advance.

"Yesterday at XXX. Oppression and stinginess… I left there hurt, hungry and nervous… First time after closing and pretty bassa… The kitchen did not know… The waitress was rude… The experience was ruined…"
Last Sunday, with the news of the restaurants returning to the activity he brought with him, marked as a culinary celebration -Cultural.
Long months of forceful silence, barely and only partially maintained by deliveries and takeaways, suddenly erupted into a justified post-corona carnival.
To the delicious Instagram page of Walla!
The food
restaurants that had returned to activity from the very beginning were completely filled (within the limits of the Ministry of Health's colorful characters, ostensibly), spilled onto sidewalks and adjacent plazas, and kept order logs that were a bit reminiscent of pre-Super Bowls.
Others, still engineering their steps, are expected to join soon.
But this volcano, which erupted after a time in such a long bubble, had to also scatter a scorching lava all around.
Let's call it by its name - Israel 2021. Let's also hope together that the earth will calm down a bit.
Bring the blower
189 phone calls in one day, and it's ripe (and this monstrous fine won't help either)

Everyone is right, everyone is arguing, everyone is exaggerating.

"Why would an employee even look in my direction? They tell me: 'Leave, bro, let me sit at home with the NIS 6,000-7,000 and not work'
"This is the ugly side of a lot of restaurants, and in Tel Aviv in particular… those who during the run and want to rub on the customers, will be priced accordingly… I did not understand the reactions - what is the customer's problem?"
In this all-too-Israeli story, everyone is guilty, everyone is right, everyone is arguing and everyone, of course, is exaggerating.
Simply put, and with slightly rough outlines, these are restaurateurs longing for a livelihood after a period of economic darkness, customers who missed those restaurants (and cafes, and bars, and anything that serves food not in plastic boxes, in fact) exactly, and an impossible situation that gathered both sides around the same table.
And yes, this "situation" was created by the government.
Is it possible to continue even after we have said the obvious?
The Khalat format - effective and relaxing at first, crazy and unbelievable a year later in this specific industry - sandaled the food market, kept vital workers away from it and sent them - this is not a lazy metaphor - to the sea. In hand if I were promised an income guarantee (at least most of the income I was used to) without working.
Instead, I hear from * every * restaurant wherever he is, and after a minute of conversation exactly, the same two lines - "In the current situation, it was impossible to return To how we worked before.
Why would an employee even look in my direction?
They tell me: 'Leave, bro, let me sit at home with the 6,000-7,000 shekels and not work.
We'll talk for another month or two and we'll see. '
I couldn't even get a barista. "
This quote belongs to Yaniv Harush from Tel Yitzhak Deli. It also belongs - word for word - to every food person who is trying to get back to work now.
Requires change
A year ago it was the hottest place in Tel Aviv. For this smiling man it was not enough

Policy without policy.

Thus, the same "situation", the result of a policy without a policy and an outline that "Mensa" members will not be able to operate either, led to a stormy opening of restaurants, the overwhelming majority of the under-employment, improvising service and hoping it was the last closure.
This format, unsurprisingly, sadly permeates diners.
The insane pressure leads to incessant service and food malfunctions, which in turn lead to angry posts on social media (note the rage that warms the "eat your head", the country's active and generally successful food community, whose quotes are also quoted in this article), and incessant network fights.
On the face of it, there is almost nothing surprising in this story - neither the volume nor the violence nor the content of the things themselves.
The restaurateurs have returned from a forced sabbatical and are trying to come back without letting the situation harm the product.
Customers in that exact year of absence are happy to pay and expect to receive a product worth the money, given that they too have been financially harmed.
And only politicians are now bullying the fourth course at the never-ending feast they organized for themselves - the only ones who prey here without taking out a wallet, the only ones who are full.
Now, is it possible to relax and eat something without quarreling with each other?
