From what I understand it’s not just busy or understaffed restaurants. It’s almost all of them. He mentioned that it was near impossible to find one who takes orders.

That's so crazy to me! Families and so many people only get food to-go or get it to-go the vast majority of the time.

That's what I do. Places that don't do takeout.... don't get my business much. Like, see you when my friends aren't anxious about COVID, if you're empty, or when the pandemic is over (bc I too am hell- bent on not getting COVID).

Yeah I almost exclusively do to-go because of covid cautiousness and not being comfortable with eating at restaurants

some of keith's complaints were like they wouldn't take to go orders directly but they'd send you thru doordash and then doordash would have the restaurant marked as closed when the website said the restaurant was open etc

In a few of his videos he explained how the restaurants would say they're not accepting pick up/to-go orders but him and his family (he's usually parked right outside the restaurants) would see people coming in and out of the restaurant, and when they asked the staff they would give a bunch of excuses like they were cleaning the area or temporarily closed, but things never lined up as they said.
