Twitter user @inderasakti kl questioned: Why make a simple thing so complicated? Where would they eat? .
Another Twitter user, @CindyTeamGOT7, questioned why the workers were not allowed to eat in the dining areas while on shift, especially if they were sitting and eating alone. It’s the same as eating somewhere else in the restaurant! she pointed out.
Anita Rajagopal said it was quite unfair to expect workers to hide so they could eat, especially if they had been eating there all this while. What does it matter if they eat openly where customers used to eat pre-lockdown? Are they posing a danger to others if all social distancing and SOP are followed? she asked.
