On Feb. 1, Michigan allowed restaurants to reopen for indoor dining — welcome news for many restaurant owners and service industry workers who have been hit hard by the economic toll of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, not every owner or worker was ready to jump at the opportunity to get back to work.
Metro Times interviewed owners and workers for a recent story about why they didn't want their restaurants to reopen just yet. We got more responses than we could fit it one article, so we're including the rest here. These have been lightly edited and condensed for space, and anonymity has been granted to some in exchange for candor.
