Beggars can't be choosers in my case. Theres like a 3 year waitlist. With covid here...I'm hoping I can snag an open daycare spot in the Vancouver downtown area if anyone knows any.

I think I've been fairly respectful in my posts. If you actually wanted to engage in thoughtful discussion, I'd think you could try and do the same. | Dude, you make it so hard with your posts. Its tiring pointing out why what you're saying is wrong (and dangerous) and do you know what the worst thing is?
You just keep going on posting after saying the same thing.

They hosted a 100-person party, if each person pays $23 for cover fee it's taken care of ... this is getting so pathetic.
I had this conversation with my friend yesterday.
Me: If tickets for drivers getting caught using the HOV lane illegally are $20 but it can save you an hour each way. Would you risk it?
Him: No
Me: What if you were late for work and you get paid $50 an hour?
Him: Hmmm maybe.
It's the same mentality for some of these restaurants not taking the rules seriously because the fines are peanuts, sure you look like a douche to the others in the same boat but in the end why do they care.

It's been shown repeatedly time and time again that the people that flout the rules get a tiny slap on the wrist. It's all about risk/reward ratio and Cold Tea definitely made much more than the measly $2300 ticket they had to pay.

@obsiden it’s funny you use the HOV discussion. I knew people that used HOV every single day against the rules. Got caught maybe once or twice a year. Their time was worth sooo much more than sitting in traffic like the rest of us plebs.
I’m a square, so I’d never do that. But I do get it

150,000 expected to be vaccinated by February in BC...
While Israel, with a 9million population, has already vaccinated well over 1million people, and they didn't start vaccinating ppl until Dec 20th...

There is a reason why people are starting to hate the phrase "we are all in this together" more and more.

Everyone in that restaurant should've received a fine. I just watched the news where the owner was saying some shit about losing money on the food they purchased for the party. Boohoo.

Boohoo. | They should've just stfu and eaten their extremely low $2300 fine, apologize and move on. But they decide to go on the news and make a bunch of excuses for their actions and the "optics". I think that's the nail in the coffin for that restaurant. They pissed off their own industry and a lot of other people.

The smart move for the government would be just to take violators liquor licences away.
