Hi! Thank you for saying I could ask here, this is the vaccine anon! So for a few months now I've been trying to get the vaccine but have been unsuccessful, whether from a natural disaster or family emergency or just my family being unreliable. My girlfriend has really wanted me to get the vaccine the whole time, and the other night she took her anger out on me because I couldn't get it again because of a family emergency. Today I tried once again and was not successful. (1/2 oops)

(2/2) Though I know it's not right, I haven't talked to her since I got home out of fear for another angry reaction and blaming me, or zoning out all day and being unable to eat. If you had any advice about how to tell her I couldn't get it today despite trying my hardest, or telling her how I feel and how the other night really hurt me, I'd love any advice you had. I hope this isn't too much, thank you again for letting me send it so it hopefully doesn't get eaten again ^^;;

Hey anon! I was able to get your asks on my main and transfer them here :)

I completely understand why you are afraid to talk to your girlfriend after she lashed out at you. One thing that helps me when I'm afraid to have a particular conversation with my boyfriend is to write out what I want to say beforehand. We also sometimes have difficult conversations over text. While this is something that works well for us, it's something I would recommend discussing with your partner if you can. And obviously right now might not be the best time for such a discussion - that's fine!

Here's what I would say if I were you. Obviously, feel free to change it up a little bit to make it sound like you. Also, I tend to be extremely blunt, which may not fit your communication style. I would recommend trying to avoid apologizing if you decide to reword my template; instead, thank her for listening.

"Hey [Name], I want to talk to you about how you responded to me last night when I told you I couldn't get the vaccine. I'm trying my best to get it because getting vaccinated is also important to me, so I understand why you really want me to get it. At the same time, I was hurt by your reaction. I do genuinely want to be vaccinated and I know how important it is to get it, I just have no control of when emergencies come up. I'm sorry that this has been frustrating to you, but please know it's been equally frustrating for me. If things weren't continuing to get in the way, I would already be vaccinated, but instead i keep running into issues, which is keeping me from getting vaccinated and is putting me in more danger. I'm sorry that things keep coming up, and I that I ran into more issues today,, but I am still trying to get vaccinated daily and I'm not going to give up trying."

I know we answered this a bit late, but I hope it still helps! Good luck getting the vaccine! Mod Devyn

We’re in the midst of uncertain times, and around the world, restaurants and businesses are concerned about and working toward the post-COVID-19 “new normal.” What are some solutions to customer dine-in concerns? How are companies creating new streams of revenue? As states across the country are preparing to reopen in phases, we’ve rounded up April’s news and updates. The good news? You can enjoy this palette of flavors in the comfort of your own home! Dig in!

QR Codes: One Solution to the Post-COVID-19 Dine-In Problem

Businesses in the hospitality industry are facing uncertainty considering the outlook of the post-COVID-19 industry. They’re looking for solutions to assist with industry recovery. Professor Cihan Cobanoglu of the University of South Florida and a Research Advisory Board member for Hospitality Technology magazine shares his insight concerning QR codes and their role in healing the hospitality industry when it comes to a customer’s dine-in experience. QR codes were popular in China pre-pandemic.

When it comes to customer behavior post-COVID-19, they will be more deliberate in their dining decisions and the items they encounter. Restaurants need to highlight and share their sanitation practices.

When it comes to sanitation practices, customers are going to want to know that restaurant employees are healthy. Cobanoglu suggests daily temperature checks before each shift.

QR codes are another avenue for contactless services, including menu displays and pay. According to Cobanoglu, QR codes are “not expensive or difficult to implement.”

If diners don’t have smartphones, some restaurants are implementing large digital screens for customers to order from.

Major names in Fast Food Share their Secret Recipes with Consumers.

While foot traffic is non-existent, restaurants are releasing their “secret recipes” to create streams of revenue. Emphasized by the coronavirus crisis, digitalization is narrowing the gap between operators and their customers, which is forcing operators to pivot strategies. Specifically, Nando’s has shared the recipe of its peri-peri rice bowl.

What does this do to a company’s competitive edge? It’s not merely a marketing gimmick to increase customer engagement but allows customers to duplicate their favorite restaurant dishes at home perfectly. According to GlobalData’s Coronavirus Tracker Consumer Survey, at least half of global consumers stated that they only want to buy products from their favorite brands. The findings from the survey match the rising trend of cocooning, or customers wishing to recreate in-restaurant experiences and products from their own homes. This works for brands, like Nando’s, that have a hugely loyal following to create a small, but unique revenue stream.

What Will Operations Look Like After States Reopen Dining Rooms?

Some states are reopening restaurant dining rooms. What will the business be like in this next phase of the crisis? In Texas, Governor Abbott greenlit businesses to reopen on April 27, and another wave to open the week after. The Texas Restaurant has written the Texas Restaurant Promise, a list of recommendations for operations to reassure customers about restaurant safety efforts once dining rooms are open again. Best practices that are recommended for operators within the restaurant promise include:

Implementing a health check of every employee before their shifts

Certification of every staff member in food safety by a certified manager per shift

Using disposable items, or sanitizing non-disposable items after each use

Making hand sanitizer easily accessible and sanitizing settings after every use

Cleaning and sanitization of surfaces

Observing social distancing recommendations from health officials

Other practices that are encouraged include closing buffets, contactless payment systems, and limiting parties to 10 or less.

Nando’s Reopens Kitchens to Supply Meals to NHS Workers

Six of the company’s restaurants across the U.K. have opened their restaurant kitchens to cook meals for NHS workers that are fighting on the frontlines against the novel Coronavirus. Four London sites and two Manchester sites were chosen to reopen their kitchens due to their location near or the relationship developed between a local hospital or NHS building. Nando’s, owned by Yellowwoods, an investment firm based in South Africa, has pledged 1500 free meals a day to NHS workers from the six sites. The meals will be delivered to hospitals in the evenings between 6 pm and 9 pm.

Nando’s has asked that NHS workers to get in touch with them if they aren’t receiving meals for staff. According to a company spokesperson, “if this goes well, we will be able to open more restaurants to help more people.” Meanwhile, any food leftover at the end of the day will be donated to charities.
