So, things are slowly, but surely, heading towards normalcy...
Restaurants will soon be opening their doors, including my most favorite Chinese restaurant EVER! The same restaurant I haven't been to since the start of this pandemic, 02/05/2020, to be exact. I had my usual General Tso's Chicken plate, no rice. I may have gotten Salt & Pepper Chicken WIngs, too, I can't recall.
I had stopped going because I knew for a fact that many, if not most, if not all, of the cooks were/are illegal immigrants. And, if you know anything about what goes on at/near the border, Chinese illegals, and Chinese nationals requesting "asylum" come in droves on a daily basis. Granted, they probably left China several months before they even set foot in the U.S., but still...
So, with things tentatively returning to normal, it'll only be a matter of time before I must return to this establishment...the problem is that I'm not some faceless/nameless patron there...the owner, who's there on a daily basis, knows me very well, to the point were he doesn't even hand me a menu anymore, as he knows exactly what, and how, I order!
Sherbros, many of you are extremely clever...
How do I save face when I return? I can't just send my Wife, because he knows her, too! A facemask won't work, because he knows me so well, he'll easily recognize me!
I need your help, Sherdog!
